Just realized my morning routine has completely flipped over the years

I used to grind my beans the night before and set a timer on my old Mr. Coffee so I'd wake up to a full pot. But about three years ago I switched to pouring over with a gooseneck kettle and now I hand grind 18 grams every single morning. The whole process takes maybe 5 extra minutes but it's become my quiet time before the kids wake up. Has anyone else completely changed how they approach their first cup since they started?

Quiet time before the kids wake up"... I mean it's just coffee man, not a yoga retreat. You're overthinking a morning caffeine fix.

That "quiet time before the kids wake up" part really hits home. I don't think you're overthinking it at all, @laubernett - sometimes that little ritual is the only calm space you get all day, and coffee just happens to be what you do during it.
