matteo avanzini [making coffee]

19 Coffee Central

it's not just the sound
of coffee being pored
the grinding of dark beans
expresso spluttering –
it's the atmosphere of the place

soft music playing
over murmur of low voices
steady stream of new customers
with their to go paper containers –
those who visit at tables

aroma of gourmet flavors
that french vanilla
to open nostrils
hazlenut –
gets saliva glands working

an art to drinking coffee
enjoyment of a cup
no matter shape or colour
content that's important –
conversation too
