I always say to my friends that coffee is one of life’s simple pleasures.  Enter my mom… “Ano na naman yang binili mo? walang mga katorya torya!” (What did you buy again? useless crap!).

I bought a 2 cup melitta manual portable drip brewer yesterday at Handyman, Robinsons Midtown.  Of course, this is not included in my usual budget… but for the price of 350 bucks, on sale (the original price is around P500), I succumb to my impulse… Go buy!

After that, I bought a bag of ground beans at the supermarket and picked a viennese blend.

Now, I am in my happy place.

So, how was the coffee???

… black as night, sweet as sin.
