The perfect cup of coffee.

Hello, world. I know it's been a while and I apologise to those who wait with bated breath for the next installment of bloggery. For those who don't, well here it is anyway. Today, as I sip on a freshly brewed cup of coffee I realise that this is what I want to write about. Not some thesis irking me or an egotistic deputy chief minister with insomnia tearing a hospital apart (which by the way I have no option but to be quietly amused about...) Why rant and rave when one can sit back and enjoy the small stuff. No this isn't going to be a self help book (some ideas about wanking for dummies being a selfhelp book but nevermind), this is simply an ode in prose to my favourite drink.
Take equal quantities of Plantation A and Peaberry coffee beans. DO NOT ADD CHICORY. Roast till each bean is evenly roasted. Preferably store whole roasted beans and grind the required amount every morning. But who has that kind of time... get the roasted beans finely ground and aliquotted into air tight bags. Throw all bags except one into the freezer. Yes, ye of little faith, the freezer. Its not perishable ye might call out, it still has aroma and flavour I reply so preserve it. Better yet just listen without prejudice or argument. Transfer contents of one bag into an airtight jar. All prelimnary preparations are now done.
Stage two. boil water. set up the coffee filter (for those of you who don't know what it is and how it works, shame on you but you can find out more here) On an aside I have a good idea which breed of person's written that wiki. Once the dicoction's percolated, boil milk. And by boil its like making holy milk - boil the hell out of it. In a cup, add dicoction and the boiling milk in a 1:3 or 1:2 (if you like it strong ratio) and sugar (as little as possible). Now the important step (the step that has given rise to the now famous term metre-coffee). Pour the coffee into another receptacle and then back in the cup. Repeat about 5 times progressively increasing the distance between the two vessels. The result should be a nice frothy cup of coffee.
Sit down pick up a news paper, sip coffee.... Nirvana.
