Every single morning for the past two years I've been fighting with my coffee maker.
I'm too lazy to actually measure the coffee out, so I just dump some in and try to visually judge how much I'll need to brew a pot.
Each day I stare while it's brewing, tingling with anticipation... "today it's going to be perfect." No matter what I either get really strong goo, or light brown water.
Wouldn't I be so much happier if I just measured?

I have perfect coffee this morning... I don't know weather to embrace victory or prepare for the eventual defeat of next morning.

speaking of enlightenment:
A Buddhist monk went to a hotdog vender and said, "make me one with everything". The vendor complied and when the monk handed him a $20, he put the bill in his drawer and shut it. The monk said, "what about my change?" The vender replied, "Change comes from within."
thank you I'll be here all week

The coffee at my house is made by magic. Every morning when I get out of the shower there is a fresh pot of outrageously expensive coffee made from beans that were shat out a monkey's ass or something. I feel obligated to swill about 3 cups of it and now I'm spoiled and can't drink anything else.

The righteous way, and the path to true enlightenment, is to judge for yourself. As you hone your senses and your appreciation of the subtleties of coffee concentration increases, you will journey on a remarkable voyage of self discovery. You will see things that are invisible to the unenlightened eye. This will lead to a greater understanding of being.
However, if you are fluctuating between brown water and syrupy goo, then I suggest you measure. You are a dingbat.

No. You will never achieve Zen-like coffee by measuring. The only way is trial and error. I know, I have achieved UberCoffee. Once you get it the first time, the rest is downhill.
