Keeping Things Simple

I don't know about you, but when I'm at home, I like to keep things super simple. 

For me, there's no beating a good cup of freshly brewed filter coffee. It's the first thing I do after I've managed to get myself out of bed and downstairs. Every morning, you'll find me sneaking around in the kitchen, trying not to wake the dog so that I get a precious few minutes to myself, just so I can enjoy my brew. 

Everything follows naturally from that point onwards. For a while at least, after I've had my coffee, I feel like I can do anything. That feeling doesn't always last, but it's a great way to start the day. 

It's not hard to make decent coffee at home, especially if you're willing to invest in some decent equipment and learn the basics. Good beans are vitally important too, but luckily we have that one covered!
