I always feel that there is an awesome sense of ceremony about making coffee by hand, as if waiting for the sunrise to be secretly excited, tiny and surging. Every time I see the hot air of the water flowing out of the narrow-mouthed pot and the strong coffee fragrance gradually filling the room with the rhythm of my hand, I will suddenly have a free illusion, as if I saw the body gradually becoming clearer in the haze of life... Perhaps what a good cup of hand-brewed coffee taught me was about slow refinement.
