April 30th--A Saturday that felt like a Saturday

[zyzyly]

I had to go into the hospital to see students this morning. Half of them are done with their preceptorships now, and the other half will finish this coming week. Then it is study study study until the final.

After I was done seeing them, I wandered around the neighborhood and came across a coffee place I had never noticed before. It is across the street from a Starbucks and a Peets, but it is way different. When you order a cup of coffee, they bring out the beans, which are roasted on-site, weigh them for your cup, grind them, then slow drip the coffee into a glass carafe, from which they pour it into your cup. It takes about 10 minutes, which is why they call it slow brewed. But it is worth the wait.



I sat outside and enjoyed my coffee and the beautiful day.

It was, an part of why it was amazing was just watching it be brewed with loving care.

Pour over coffee is an excellent drink. I do it at home. Yes, I grind my own beans, too.

I have the capacity to do it, and grind my beans every morning, but use a coffee maker cause I don't like waiting.
