Coffee, cinnamon and a note for my love 💜☕💚☕

Monday 7:00 AM I suddenly get out of bed after having set the alarm about 5 times, I've been at the same company for 2 years now, coming in at the same time and it's still so hard for me to get up. Half asleep I go immediately to the kitchen to grind my coffee, that's how I like it, freshly ground, besides the smell it emanates is for me even more stimulating than the sips that delight me every day.

I almost go into despair when I notice that my grinder doesn't feel like working. I take 3 deep breaths and rush off to take a quick 5 minute shower, for getting up late is one of the prices I must pay, though I consider that time enough to thoroughly lather up the parts of my body that I always lather up the most in my longer showers.

While the water runs down my body, I keep thinking about how to make my coffee, I have to be in the office at 8:15 AM and before that time there are no coffee shops open. I ask the Universe to enlighten my mind and I convince myself that there is a solution, it doesn't always work for me, but in practical things I have had good results.

I get out of the shower and go back to the kitchen, I look everywhere trying to find something that could be useful to me at that moment.

I was looking for the solution with my eyes and my mind, and presto, I had it, for me it was something very practical and simple:

The grains are placed on a piece of cloth, wrapped in it and beaten with a mallet. My wife was sleeping and is a very heavy sleeper, the noise would not wake her up, she works from home and usually gets up after I leave.

With this technique I thought I would miss the smell of freshly ground coffee the most but at least I was going to be able to drink my precious morning cup.

I began to tap it firmly and dry and immediately the most delicious aroma was released, not the same as when I do it with the grinder, but enough to delight me and make me feel in heaven itself with that delicious fragrance.

I open the cloth to check how the work is going and to my surprise the result looks fantastic, so I did not hesitate to add a piece of cinnamon sticks and grind it with the coffee, I put the water to boil, added 2 tablespoons of the freshly ground powder, turned off the stove, covered for a minute to integrate the flavors, I looked for my cloth strainer and ready I had my coffee served, I added sugar and the first sip made me sigh.

I had already taken care of my coffee, now I had to do something I really hate to do and that was to iron my shirt, I see the time and I was almost at the limit, with how bad I am at ironing I would surely use the 20 minutes I had left just trying to flatten one sleeve of my tiny shirt.

I'm very practical, I thought for a moment about dressing in a wool sweater or something that didn't need ironing, but with how demanding my boss is, surely that day he would look at me with a bad face and get on badly with him, that was a bad idea, really very bad.

I had no choice but to try to perform a miracle and try to quickly iron one of my shirts...

When I opened the closet, at first glance there was one of the ones I like, nicely ironed, with a note that read:

"To make you look prettier, I ironed one of your favorite shirts."

So cute my wife, she is always leaving me beautiful details everywhere, on the contrary, I am usually more careless with those things, but as today I still had enough time to go out, I left her a message in the kitchen, I hope she likes it....

Thank you! this time it was easy for me because it is something I have already done, once I found myself in need.

Fortunately I had coffee beans for the photos.

Thank you very much for your visit!

Fascinating story that involves the ingenuity to indulge in what you enjoy the most;
Coffee with its exquisite enveloping aroma and the touch of cinnamon becomes magical,
prepared with that alchemical dedication pleasing your palate and your love that still sleeps,
knowing that when she wakes up she will find your message, she will whisper an I love you, thanking you for the rich gift, just as you leave the house looking so beautiful in your favourite impeccable shirt.

"Love dwells in the details"....

A small detail can make our day great and even more so if we are pleasantly surprised at the end of the day.

The coffee with cinnamon is very rich and the aroma given off with this technique is great.
