Look here, the options. Even for coffee. Ground or whole bean. And ground? Course, fine, espresso. Whole bean there’s the burr grinder, another grinder forgotten in the back of a cabinet along with the first moka pot bought and forgotten and replaced with a second (not as good). The second sits on the counter next to the kettle, French press, drip machine. Over there, the espresso maker (bought on sale). The man, 50’s. Tallish, in good enough shape from a gym four times a week and evening jogs. Places one hand atop his head and stares at his watch, seconds ticking. Considers the choice barrage of this morning (and all mornings, if we’re honest) and wonders why he couldn’t maybe get to winnowing.
