"coffee like a painting" by skyehopper on Flickr
I’m passionate about perfect coffee foam.
It is always a great start to the day when my first cup of morning coffee is topped with perfectly frothed milk. The foam is soft, velvety, creamy and looks like absolute heaven. It is a simple luxury that doesn’t cease to excite me. It adds so much to that first sip of coffee, in the same way that the opening song sets the tone of the movie.
That first sip becomes all the more glorious when I froth the milk myself. The triumph of getting it just the way I like it just makes my day. On normal days, the routine of making myself a perfect cup of coffee gets me started in “work mode” and signifies the start of what will be a productive day. On busy days, taking the time to make my morning coffee helps calm me down so I don’t start the day in a neurotic frenzy. The five minutes spent at the coffee machine allows me to breathe and therefore plan my day one task at a time. A blanket of velvety foam, the quiet hiss of steam and the aromatic smell of freshly brewed espresso are the sight, sound and smell of bliss.
