Enjoy the simple pleasures of making coffee.
Coffee beans are grown in dozens of tropical regions around the world.
Each of these coffees has a unique character and taste. If you want, you can try them all! It would take a while, but would be a fascinating project.
The other great thing about making fresh coffee is that you actually get to handle the beans. This isn't a processed beverage. You're starting from scratch.
With coffee making you can buy whole roasted coffee beans and start from there. You can even buy green beans and roast them yourself.
Then you grind the roasted beans. There are all kinds of different grinders you can choose. Myself, I prefer a hand mill, so I can actually feel the beans being ground as I turn the handle.
And then you get to brew your own, fresh cup of coffee. You can do this with a five-dollar filter cone placed over your mug, or you can invest hundreds of dollars in a high-tech coffee maker. It's up to you.
