Since I was a little girl I used to see how my grandmother would get up in the morning, put a pot of water on the gas stove, put a bag in a pitcher to brew the coffee and when the water boiled she would have 2 tablespoons of coffee in her bag ready to brew the coffee. The first cup of coffee was reserved for my grandfather.
This is what I grew up with. So brewing coffee in the morning is a sacred ritual because it takes me back to the familiar and remote traditions of Venezuela.
When I lived in Cuba it was a little difficult to adapt to their coffee. I have never been able to use the greca to make my coffee, so I improvised and made my own coffee strainer so as not to stray from my roots.
It's fun to make coffee in a sifter bag. I think the aroma and taste of the coffee is more flavorful and better perceived.
With this I want to tell you that preparing my morning coffee is something personal, satisfying and I see it as a ritual.
Photos of my property, I invite you to see my publication of how I made my coffee filter.
