The aesthetic of both the color scheme and flowing ballet of fluid dynamics of cream into a cup of coffee.

Steam from the top and the anticipation of that first sip. The smell. The delirium of a new morning and maybe even the warmth of heater on my pajamas.

Maybe I'm in a restaurant, the chaos of the talking customers and rushing waitstaff projecting a stark contrast to the act of simply mixing a perfect cup of coffee.

I can say with certainty that whether I've just woken up at home next to someone I love. Or I'm in a shit restaurant in Las Vegas hung over, shirt on backwards, a stripper's number written on my forehead, jammed into a seat in a building with dozens of other people I'll never know. I always enjoy my cup of coffee. The experience from beginning to finish is almost a meditation for me. #coffee

Your liking coffee to meditation is spot on for me as well. It's a routine of mine to groggily prepare my coffee, sit on my living room floor, and breathe in the aroma while I wait for it to cool down. It's a routine I look forward to every morning.

I like to learn something new or take care of something on my mind while I do it. Maybe pay a bill or read a wikipedia article.
