The Last Ingredient

I'm a guy who never knew how to make my own cup of coffee (or drinks). I only rely on 3-in-1 sachets, mamak or coffee joints for my caffeine fix. I have always wondered how my mom makes coffee or tea for us where the taste is always the same consistently. Every jug, every cup.

Until one day, someone shared with me the secret to the coffee recipe I drink. It goes like this:

1 teaspoon of coffee
2 teaspoon of sugar
2 teaspoon of creamer
The rest is just LOVE.

I never really understood the last ingredient back then.

As years passed, I learned that this last ingredient is the most important part, which is what makes a cup of coffee, coffee. Consistently.

To everyone who prepares and serves coffee for their loved ones, I salute you.

As for me, I'm still learning to fix myself a cup everyday.
