Coffee is a drug. Thatâs masked by ubiquity and social acceptance but itâs just hot speed. Black hot wonderful speed.
That thought lingered this morning as a nice young man in a waxed-cotton apron and mustache â and not a November mustache, but a real annual subscription to the thing â fixed my Guatemalan pour-over. Â He was meticulous and it was good. It was art.
I was at the farmer's market at Stonestown Galleria in San Francisco. Â Sightglass is one of these modern temples to the coffee experience where you can, and might latently be sort of expected to, know the farmâs longitude and elevation for every bean in your biodegradable cup. Itâs drug use elevated to art and science with an attendant style re apron plus mustache. Â Itâs full passionate expression of this mundane daily basic that until recently didnât aspire beyond battery-acid Folgers in oneâs own kitchen. At least not on a popular scale, and at least not in America.
Now itâs art. This legal morning drug dose is art. What if popping Advil had such a subculture dedicated to its craft and nuance? Maybe it should. Coffee happens to be having a moment but thereâs nothing that canât be done well and creatively enough to constitute artistry. Whatever we do today can be art.
I watched a TED talk about this recently. Thatâs why it was in my head today as the coffee dripped. Passion brought to bear on a dayâs outfit or a lifeâs work or anything in between can make it art. Letâs not be underachieving here.
