Deep Earth

The top of the Hario Switch coffee bed with a pale foam ring and a darker center and a grinder and unicorn mug in the background.

Setting

During the brew I was talking with my 🦄.

Discussion

🦄 had snif of the beans first, then the grounds later. Talking about social remorse, conversations, family, and a recent episode of This American Life.

Listening

It was my 2nd day listening to album Double Infinity by Big Thief. I’m really digging this album. Lenker is so chill on the song “No Fear.”

Track 7, “Grandmother,” reminds me of the vibe of Krishna Das.

Brew Notes

Execution was fairly precise. I have muscle memory for the recipe at this point.

Concurrent Warming

I let the Hario Switch pre-pour flow halfway through to the mug (~100 mL). Idea is that this lets me pre-heat the mug faster, rather than warming the Switch’s glass and the mug in serial.

Observation

🦄 said the sojourner groundsmell had the chocolate depth and I concurred.

The first sip had a glare, a stiff side-glance. Delicious and complex.

I had a hard time getting to the point where I could post, because I needed to remind myself of tmux commands. Not the space I want to in be for tasting!

I had codex enqueue a new slash command to enable creating a new post.

This morning I found that I was missing some of the hydration needed to sip the full cup. I need more cold water with electrolytes in the morning.
