Ode to coffee

From morning to night

caffeine shining bright

but it brews as i alight

from my bed, shake my head

and shrug off the dreamy residue.

black no sugar, no milk too

i prefer a stronger brew

french roast is de rigueur

but even folgers will not be demurred

at cafes a quad espresso is an efficient way to travel

to keep waterlogged ships at bay

but have you tried a cafe cubano?

tamp and layer and channel the portafilter with espresso/turbinado/espresso:

this will produce a syrupy brew

and remember whatever you do

it’s all about the

crema.

try to avoid the knockboxes.
