I have been neglecting my photography lately because of my schedule, but I had the itch on Sunday morning. I decided to document my morning coffee ritual with photos.
It starts with the right beans.

Then the grinder is set to the proper level...

and grinding can start.

Once the grind is complete...

It's time to start...

the brewing...

Then you can finally pour a cup...

And flavor it to your liking.

    Very nice! I like the last two shots the best...the condensation and swirl of colors are very nice details. Great way to start off the morning...a little coffee and photography! thumb.gif

    On a sad note.. those wonderful looking beans and tempting cup of coffee make me really resent the prepackaged pods of stale Folger's coffee we have at work. But, at 6:30am, you take what you can get eh?rolleyes1.gif

    Thanks everyone. I enjoyed shooting this series, I'm glad to see everyone liked the pictures.

    I should have been more specific about the flavoring, it's just plain coffee mate, no exotic flavors. :D

    Nice story with pics! I could use that to teach sequencing to my elementary kids and be artistic all at that the same time!
