I love the hell out of this video.

Fascinating to see some of the time capsule bits:
* The huge waste of water, using about a sink full just to clean the pot, then leaving the tap running on full while taking cups of water.
* The details, the steps, the lack of automation...

Also, fascinating to see this American focused coffee making instructional. Here in Australia it's FAR more prevalent to have a home espresso machine, which makes a damn good cup of coffee, and a whole lot quicker than these convoluted methods (of course stove top percolating is a lot cheaper, very simple process really).

I sit here watching this while drinking my mid morning Flat White and thinking how different tastes are around the world
