Exquisite Coffee And The Zen Of Bliss

Amongst the remarkable advantages of being a premium coffee enthusiast is the liberty to unabashedly indulge my love affair with the small brown bean. Coffee has become really an obvious habit for me. When I awaken, I think about my very first cup and all the earthly delights that support making it. The fragile clink of the beans attacking the mill, the first fragrant blush as the grinding begins, the cautious scoop scoop scoop of the grounds into the basket – this is my meditation, my Zen practice.

Am I too lugged away by coffee? Can a beverage really cause bliss? Many of you might be hesitant. Maybe you think I care just a bit too deeply about something so pedestrian and common-place as a cup of coffee, whether gourmet or not.

For my part, I respectfully disagree. Gourmet coffee is the essence of something we do for ourselves, with care and attention, maybe even extravagance. It is among those elemental acts that make life worth living.

Think of it. Numerous of the most spiritually advanced individuals I know make the case that at any time you experience nature, immerse your senses in a part of creation, you are getting closer to your God, or whatever identify you pick to put on the “source.” Coffee is among the most natural drinks readily available. Include in some fresh milk straight from the cow, and you are positively consuming in a cup of nature’s divine happiness. So yes, I ‘d argue that you can discover heaven in a coffee cup!

At the really least, I find serenity during that very first cup of exquisite coffee each morning. I find strength and nourishment in my mid-afternoon latte. I find solace and comfort at the end of a long day, enjoying some delicious decaf brew. If coffee is a faith, I’m a convert. Baptize me in the rich dark bliss of this premium coffee brew!
