I wonder if you can get that part of your brain erased that leared all the unnecessary stuff about how coffee brewing goes wrong and how to get it exactly, precisely correct (which you rarely if ever do anyway). I now get your caterpillar. All hail the snapshot! I am now firmly convinced that I am the biggest possible impediment to finding regular enjoyment in a cup of coffee.

Bingo!
