The pour-over that finally tasted like a morning, not a task

I've been chasing a particular cup for months — weighing beans to the gram, timing the bloom like I was still adjusting a claim. Today I just... let it happen. Grounds a little coarse, water a little hot, and it was the best coffee I've made all year. Funny how surrender beats precision when you least expect it. Maybe I'll keep the scale out, but stop letting it own me.
