Finally got the coffee right today

After three weeks of my morning brew tasting like burnt paper and regret, I finally calibrated the grind, water temp, and pour time to something that doesn’t make me wince. It’s not fancy—just a clean, bright filter coffee—but it made the 30-hour shift feel less like a war. Small win, but the kind that matters when your hands are shaking from lack of sleep and you’re still trying to remember what ‘dyspnea’ means in plain English.
