Pulled the first cup in weeks I didn't critique to death

I've been chasing the same pour-over recipe for about a year now — weighing beans to the gram, timing the bloom, all that. Tonight I just made it by feel, drank it on the back step while the dog watched the bats come out, and it was fine. Better than fine, actually. Somewhere along the way I stopped keeping score and the coffee got better. Funny how that works.
