[Puku of the Kankodori General Store] Coffee and Cats. Morning Scenery Waiting for Winter | HARIO V60 Drip Kettle Buono
The morning air has turned chilly.
On days when my fingers feel numb, I find myself longing for a warm cup.
In such a season, I have added one new tool to my collection.
When I unlock the shop, Puku comes trotting from the back,
and hops up onto the counter.
"Good morning, Puku. Please watch the shop again today."
Her tail points upward just once.
Is it a sign of agreement, or is she just trying to hide her sleepiness?
Outside, the north wind rolls a fallen leaf along.
Ah, winter is almost here, I think to myself deep in my heart.
I recently bought a new kettle.
The HARIO V60 Drip Kettle Buono.
I had been curious about its slender spout for a while,
and this morning felt like the right time to welcome it.
"Hey Puku, it's a new kettle. Take a look."
When I call out to her, Puku leans forward and sniffs.
She follows the gleam of the metal with her eyes, looking curious.
Before long, the small sound of water beginning to heat up.
Comforting steam rises straight up from the beak-like spout.
Drawn to the steam, Puku
narrowed his eyes as if being pulled in.
"Puku, that face... it's just too cute."
Slowly, I pour the hot water in a circular motion.
That quiet moment when the coffee grounds bloom.
The air in the shop softens along with the aroma of the coffee.
"The scent of coffee is mysterious, isn't it?
Even if no customers come, it somehow helps settle my mind..."
As I murmur this, Puku gives a modest "meow" in response.
Is he comforting me, or is he just sleepy?
Either way, it's more than enough.
Today's coffee tastes softer and rounder than usual.
The power of a new kettle must be exactly this.
Puku, still facing the steam,
finally curled up and began to doze off.
"Hey, Puku.
We might have zero customers again today, but...
well, taking it slow is fine, right?"
His tail gave a small flick,
as if he were answering "Indeed."
A single wisp of steam rises up.
Beyond it, Puku sleeps soundly.
I kind of like mornings like this.
The thin spout
gently responds to the feeling of
“I want to pour it right here.”
The handle also fits comfortably in my fingertips,
so it is very easy to adjust the amount of hot water.
It is a kettle that gently supports
those who want to cherish the taste of a single cup.
