American Coffee Ceremony


The Japanese have their Tea Ceremony, and the Middle East its Spout Coffee Pouring; the British have their Cream Teas. What do the Americans have? They must honor their coffee too. And the American Coffee is: Drip. Are you a drip? Do you drink a drip? I do. It is simply simple: pour it through the filter into the cup underneath. The sacred instruments are depicted here: white cylindrical water boiler (hot water not depicted) clear Pyrex coffee receptacle, and porcelain filter cone with a filter and a coffee spoon. Pour and you are ready to imbibe the ceremonial drip.
