My coffee ritual used to be a 12 second Keurig button push

Now I'm doing a 15 minute pour over with a gooseneck kettle and a scale that measures to 0.1 grams. I got a bad drip coffee at a diner in Phoenix last month and something just snapped in me. Has anyone else completely flipped their morning routine over one terrible cup?

Is it just me or does it feel like once you start paying attention to the small stuff everything else follows? I had a similar thing happen with my morning toast routine. One sad piece of burnt bread at a random breakfast spot made me buy a nice toaster and actually weigh my slices for consistency. Now I'm the guy who notices when butter melts unevenly. It's like your brain decides quality matters all of a sudden and you can't go back.

Man my buddy Tim got a bad latte at a gas station and now he's roasting his own beans in a popcorn popper.
