taking coffee to the next level

thinking, how much further
can i complicate my life
i delve into coffee,
no longer settling
for the instant, i want more.
i want
coffee supreme.
i want a hot cup of brewed
java,
and not from one of those
fancy dan starbucks machines.
i want people to look
at me after taking a sip,
and sighing,
saying, sweet Jesus, that is one
good cup of coffee my man.
i invest 
in some French roasted beans
from Columbia.
a lithium battery scale
to measure in grams.
a grinder with steel blades,
six speeds.
i get a cone
shaped filter with linen sleeves,
a blown glass flask from
Venice to drip into.
i'm all set.
do you want a cup?
it should be ready in about
twenty minutes,
more or less.
