Brazilian coffee is imagined as scale. Machines. Drying patios you can't see the end of. True.
Also true: hands over water, moving beans through the sieve. Dense coffee sinks, what floats gets skimmed off. Same gesture, sieve after sieve, all day.
Scale isn't the opposite of the person. Same field.
