I was aghast the first time I saw my sister-in-law brew coffee.

I’ve always appreciated the exactitude of measuring grounds and water.

When she made a pot, she filled the water reservoir, poured a pile of grounds into the filter, and eyeballed it saying, “Ehhhh, that should be good.” Seeing my expression she replied, “What? That’s how I always do it.”

And the thing is, it was a great pot of coffee.

It was an excellent lesson. For some things, there’s a wide margin of right ways to achieve great results.
