Coffee Nirvana

Coffee, a drink that warms the heart God’s gift to mankind, straight from heaven Even saying coffee makes my mouth water Whether aloud or just in my mind…

Coffee, have a cup, or a zillion You just can’t have enough Two cups a day, that’s my poison One at dawn, one at dusk, and oh, sometimes without rhyme or reason…

Coffee, I like it nice and strong With milk and sugar, South India’s brew The color, the flavor, the texture, the temperature No changes please, it has to be true…

Coffee, it starts by brewing the lush dark molten liquid Make it slowly, with love and patience No rush, no quick fix, go through all the motions Pour hot water on the coffee powder gently…

Unlock the aroma, unlock the soul Follow the aroma as it roams free in your home If it were alive, you would see the thin wisps If it were alive, it would curl gently around your lips…

Nothing better to wake you up at dawn When the tendrils of the brew waft your way Making you mouth water, your eyes peel open Ready to sip the brew and start your day…

Don’t skip the steps, don’t be in a hurry Boil the milk, stir in the sugar, switch off the stove Gently pour the hot milk into the strong brew, rich and thick The golden drink is almost ready to savor…

Now comes the best part My favorite step of all Pour the coffee up and down And work up an inch-thick froth on top…

Sit down in your best chair Look out the window Breathe in fresh air, and sip the brew Aaaahhhhh…coffee nirvana…
