I love starting my mornings with the slow, deliberate ritual of using my manual burr grinder. With each turn of the crank, I feel the tension in my hand, hear the beans crack and pop, and know that I'm just moments away from something special. As the rich aroma escapes from the freshly ground beans, I take a deep breath, savoring the complexity of the oils released into the air.

250 turns later, 49 grams of beans are ready—just the right amount for the French press that’s waiting for its starring role. This isn’t just coffee preparation; it’s a grounding ritual that guarantees a few moments of peace and pleasure, no matter how the rest of the day unfolds.


This ritual is fueled by my friend Brian at nostr:nprofile1qqsq5vdq4d9njk963ax62h0hektka03582ld0vyj4ufhtn6qf0tlu2gpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsff4ua6
