Good morning!
2021-01-16, 08:52, Friday. I moved to countryside for a night. It's chilly inside and I can't turn the heanting up because radiators won't survive the pressure. Physics is merciless, but at least I have some ground coffee and a small cezve here. No spices, I just need something warm. And of course my favorite mug < 3
Good morning!
2021-01-06, 08:45, Saturday. So here is a basic cezve coffee recipe.
Finely grind some coffee, starting with 60g/liter and adjusting the ratio to your preference.
Put your coffee into a cezve, add spices. Today I went with some nutmeg and cloves; if you are new to this, cinnamon is generally a good starting point.
Fill the cezve with water and put in on the stove, use weak fire/low setting if you are an induction person. While the coffee is brewing, preheat your cup with hot water from kettle.
Once the water boils and foam starts to form - remove the cezve from fire and pour coffee into the cup. Wait for around two minutes while grounds settle and water adsorbs some more flavors and you are good to go.
Good evening.
19:26, Friday. It is ungodly cold here in Moscow. I don't mean the temperature itself, -15C is quite bearable, but 80% humidity and wind turns even short walks into a torturous experience.
And because I'm a nerd, here is an explanation: heat capacity of humid air is higher than it is of a dry air, so it draws more heat from your clothes.
Good morning.
It's 9:15 am, Friday. Tried coffee with sugar, turns out I don't like it. Brewed a moka pot instead of ruined cup.
I noticed an interesting tendency: I get way more creative ideas when I don't listen to music. While I can't work without some beats in the background, walking with my earphones in for some reason stops my brain from having new ideas. So to all genz-ers who plugs their ears 25/8: try not to for a while, see what happens. It wont hurt, I promise. At least not too much.
Good morning.
It's 8:45 am and I am writing again. For a long time I was unable to stick with my writing habit for some reason. Doing it was a chore, even though I tried all the usual techniques for habit building.
What worked for me is substituting "morning pages" with "coffee notes". I simply start with the same thing every day: what am I drinking at the moment. It is always coffee, but since I use diffirent beans and spices for cezve and sometimes other brew methods, there is a lot to write about. At least enough to get me started.
