Sunday morning alchemy

Found myself awake before Jake this morning, which almost never happens, and decided to experiment with that French press technique Sarah mentioned last week. Something about water temperature and steeping time that supposedly makes all the difference.

The moment of truth. I’ve been getting increasingly particular about coffee lately - occupational hazard of twelve-hour shifts, I suppose. But this actually worked. Jake’s face went from polite supportive boyfriend to genuine surprise to ‘wait, this is actually really good.’

Documenting the victory because let’s be honest, my track record with kitchen experiments is mixed at best. Remember the great smoothie disaster of last month? Yeah, we don’t talk about that.

Turns out the secret is in the timing and not overthinking it. Kind of like most things in life, really. Now Jake’s asking if I can make it this way every Sunday, which feels like both a compliment and a commitment I’m not sure I’m ready for.
