The Perfect cup of Coffee

You think that making coffee is easy, and not an art form...And that it is 'just a cup of coffee' think again

Steps to making me the perfect cup of coffee:

1. The coffee must be proper coffee, the kind where when you inhale the fine aroma it lingers in your senses for long after....mmmm

2. The mug must be the tallest, longest and thinnest that you can find. This makes the coffee taste much better, trust me on it

3. Add two, almost level, teaspoons of the coffee into this mug

4. Make sure that the milk is straight out of the fridge and that it has the lowest fat percentage possible (i.e. Fat Free Milk)

5. Add the milk into the mug over the coffee, till it is about 2.5 cms high. No more and no less.

6. Make sure that the kettle has boiled till it is steamy.

7. Pour the water from the kettle into the mug along with the coffee and milk, do it slowly, and stop when the level i about 0.8 cms away from the rim of the mug.

8. Now take the teaspoon and stir the coffee very slowly, until everything has dissolved.

9. The coffee should now appear to be a very light golden brown colour. The colour of liquid gold (which it really is)

10. Serve coffee immediately, because it is now the right temperature and texture

Still think making a cup of coffee is easy?
