Coffee Towns

Life is like making coffee. Good coffee is the desired end point of a very long process from picking cherries all the way to pouring the cup.




And a critical factor in the process is pressure - in, for example, stripping the cherries, heating and grinding the beans, and extracting the coffee. It's the pressure that brings out the best in coffee.



This is a nice illustration, I think. Elijah may one day say, 'My Daddy always told me, "Life's like making coffee: Pressure's a critical part of the process."'

But all this waffle is really just an excuse to use these excellent photos.
