Thoughts brewing

The test of a great coffee is whether or not it creates a euphoria and deep yearning in you when you first open the container and the aroma of those lovely ground beans reaches your nose.

A coffee that doesn't have an emotional impact the moment you smell it, can never satisfy your taste buds once it has been brewed. It may deliver caffeine, it may be fine if you adulterate it with cream and sugar, but a truly great coffee will smell so enticing, that you crave it rich, strong, hot and black in your cup.
