Cosytober2024 Day 16: Brew

When I added this prompt to the list, I really thought I would end up drawing something like a witch’s cauldron.

Instead, I found myself at school, sketching a percolator/moka during conversation.

And I mean, brewing coffee works too! It’s not a cute illustration by any means. But I liked doing a metal and shading practice.

I made a custom coffee bean pattern for the background.

Brewing your own coffee is quite fun when you have a coffee maker.

The Science of Coffee: From Bean to Cup

The journey of coffee from bean to cup is a complex and fascinating process that involves multiple stages, each crucial to developing the flavors we enjoy. It all starts on coffee farms, primarily located in the “Coffee Belt,” which spans Latin America, Africa, and Asia. Coffee plants thrive in these regions' specific climates and altitudes, producing cherries that contain the precious coffee beans. Once the cherries are harvested, usually by hand, they undergo processing to extract the beans. This can be done using either the wet (washed) or dry (natural) method. The wet method involves removing the pulp before drying the beans, resulting in a cleaner, brighter flavor. The dry method involves drying the cherries with the pulp still attached, which imparts a sweeter, fruitier flavor to the beans. After processing, the beans are dried, sorted, and bagged for shipment to roasters worldwide. Roasting is a critical stage where green coffee beans are transformed into the aromatic, flavorful beans we recognize. The roasting process involves heating the beans to high temperatures, which causes chemical reactions that develop complex flavors and aromas. Roasters carefully control the temperature and duration to achieve the desired roast level, from light to dark. The final stage is brewing, where ground coffee beans are combined with water to extract their flavors. There are numerous brewing methods, including drip coffee, French Press, and espresso, each producing a distinct taste profile. The grind size, water temperature, and brewing time all play vital roles in the final cup’s quality.

How does one teach their coffee maker to brew coffee that doesn't taste like mud?

For coffee lovers, a perfect cup of coffee in the morning can make the day. But if your coffee maker is consistently producing coffee that tastes like mud, it can be frustrating. You might have tried different coffee beans, water, and cleaning methods, but the coffee still tastes bad. Fortunately, there are some tips and tricks to teach your coffee maker to brew coffee that doesn’t taste like…

Ooooh~ Drink mix up? >.>

Because! Wes DID, in fact, get that dream job. HAS learned... after many, many hours of "beat about the head and shoulders with an ethics pamphlet by his great aunt", to keep his mouth shut! Family curse of Sight? WHAT family curse?

He doesn't see shit! Mind your business.

What're you? A cop?

Look, he sent Fenton a gift basket. He was a shitty, shitty "I have to be RIGHT and nothing else matters!" Stubborn lil asshole of a kid. He got better. Grew up. No one is there best Self during puberty. He DOES, in fact, regret it.

Which is WHY, he is deliberately ignoring Kent's terrible, awful, paper-thin, "who meee~?" Aw shucks BULLSHIT excuse of a disguise, like it isn't blatantly obvious he's Superman. Yep. Nothing to see here! Nothing but us chickens! Mmmmm, morning coffee! Delicious.

But see, here's the THING.

The Itty, bitty, teeny lil PROBLEM...

Wes grew up in Amity "Totally Not Supernatural Hotspot For Centuries" Park. He is... to put it mildly, genetically? A freak. His biology is ALL fucked up. Everyone's is. And it WAS NOT made better by the Fenton's playing fast and loose with their hell basement. The Ectoplasmic NUKE that was that portal.

There is a REASON his morning coffee? Is COVERED. Contained. Fenton brand, LEAD LINED, specialty cups. The sort that can't be EATEN from the inside out. Eroded after a few uses. They're ugly as sin, but they work. He even ordered a few covers from Star's etsy shop. (Apparently he wasn't the only one who hated how ugly they looked. Good for her though, he heard it was doing well.)

He SAYS this? 'Cause his morning brew is less... straight COFFEE... and more... how to put this? A blend? Brew? Potion, really. Like an energy drink. From hell. Or, partially at least, the Zone. It's the combination of roots, seeds, and a few dried berries. Kinda like a tea, actually!

Tasty. Adds this nice fruity, warmth. A zing. Goes GREAT with the coffee. And it really perks you up... if you are Limnal. If you AREN'T? It'll desolve your esophagus like swallowing straight acid. And that's not TOUCHING the... witch-y, more Seer specific bit of the blend.

That stuff is medicinal. You know, "calm the mind" and "mental clarity". That sorta thing. With a good ol helping of "don't blurt out everyone's secrets, you spacey bitch! For the love of God, those are our INSIDE THOUGHTS!". Which? Really helpful! Infinitely less likely to get decked. It's a family staple.

Poisonous, though.

They're fine cause they've basically developed an immunity to that part, but like? Wouldn't recommend. It's why he NEVER shares his drinks. Food? On occasion. If he PLANS it and knows not to add and interesting spices. But DRINKS? Never. Weston family brews are basically NEVER safe.

Which? Begs the Very Important Question ™!

Who's Coffee Is This?

Cause it SURE AS FUCK AINT HIS!

You never realize quite how fast you can go from "completely calm and kinda sleepy" to "bomb strapped to my chest, primal panic AWAKE" until it happens to you. His coffee was ON HIS DESK. People have passed by. He talked to them. Cups put down and picked up. Lazy early morning. He doesn't even register, really, as his chair crashes to the ground.

He's shouting.

People confused. They don't realize yet. His head whips around, looking for that distinct cover. Before it's too late. Before someone takes that fatal sip. He spots it. Bolting from his desk. Crashing through coworkers, over desks. Chaos and outrage. "It's 'just' coffee!" They cry.

Kent turns, confused. Pretending. Raises his (HIS! Oh god!) cup to his lips, unknowing. Wes SCREAMS a warning. But he doesn't listen. "It's 'just' coffee" They never listen. Curse of Cassandra. God's damn it. This is why his family fucking CONVERTED!

He TACKLES the man of steel.

RIPS his cup away from him, knows his eyes are frantic. How much have you had?! Spit it out! Wes voice ECHOES in the sudden silence. I'm a META, Kent! It could KILL YOU!

And oh, Oh NOW they get it. Or perhaps it is the burn in his mouth that finally registers. He rolls, spits oil slick nebulae that eat away the floor. There is blood mixed within it. It took mere moments. Superman stares, transfixed and horrified, as Wes shakes. He... he should probably get off of him.

He'll move in a moment.

When his legs no longer feel weak from terror.

The news room is in chaos. Lane kneeling by her husband, Perry trying to do damage control. He... he's probably gonna lose his job, isn't he? Wes wants to cry. Protection laws only go so far, after all. And warning his boss about his dietary needs means jack shit, after an incident like this. Beloved as Kent is. Not that anyone likely believed him.

They never do.

And now he's nearly killed Superman.

Orea V4 Coffee Dripper (Narrow) ☕️

I’ve run about 5 cups of coffee through 3 bases and so far I think this is my new favourite coffee brewer. It may seem a bit pricey on paper but you really do get 4 brewers in 1 here. With the option of using conical filter papers as well as flat bottom filters. So far I’m really liking the APEX base. Bright acidity and a really nice jamy texture I’ve only seen come from the Torch Mountain Dripper.
