It has been so long and it makes one good observer really delighted to be living at this present moment in the history of coffee. Since 850 a.C. it is actually the first time that these beans had been freed. Wait though, free from what and who?
Free from humankind.
Ever since Kaldi’s made his greatest discovery, people have been trying to hide not only the beans themselves but their purest flavours. There are a lot of cards to be put on this table but I don’t pretend to blow your mind. Yet. Time, as did master Bob said, are A-Changing. I’ll just wait you across the caffeine road. Anyway, we should go back to our train of thought so we don’t go off tracks.
This is a glorious moment in the history of coffee that as far as one can see, the best cup of joe is finally available and accessible to everyone who seeks it. Coffee has finally reached its final ~ if we consider time like that ~ stage of freedom. What I find amazing about freedom is the idiosincrasy of it. It may mean anything. But only few of them ~we call them coffee lovers ~ get to really understand what it is to be free.
Some of them are in the pursue of the perfect cup, some are just stuck under a pile of gear and brewing methods, and some just don’t really care about it at all. Poor little ones!
It’s nearly 7am here in Manaus and I had just brewed my perfect cup of coffee on the Chemex using a proportion I’d never used before and it was perfectly amazing to start a day. If you’re into this world I hope you brew your best coffee today too. Sláinte mhaith.
