Took my pour over to a neighbor's garage sale, got a coffee lesson
I was holding my thermos of black coffee while browsing some old tools at a garage sale last Saturday, and this older lady, maybe 70, pointed at my cup and asked what I was drinking. I told her it was my usual home brew, nothing fancy, and she just laughed and said 'let me show you something real.' She brought out this battered copper cezve from her own kitchen and made me a tiny cup of Turkish coffee right there on her camping stove, grounds and all. She said the secret is to never stir after it foams, just let it rise three times, and honestly that little cup changed how I think about patience in brewing. Has anyone else had a stranger's method totally reset your own coffee routine?

That old lady nailed it with the foam thing. Tried the triple rise method at home with my regular drip stuff and it forced me to slow way down, like a meditation session for coffee. Still use my paper filters, but the patience trick stuck with me. Strange how a garage sale moment rewires your whole morning routine.
