Coffee Machine ASMR
by Ryan Garner
I love coffee and have turned the whole practice in the morning into a bit of a mindfulness exercise. The Japanese have tea ceremonies, and I have my coffee ceremony. During this time, I try to ensure I focus on everything in that moment, with a particular emphasis on the sounds. The sounds of the running tap water, the pouring sound, the rustling of the bags full of coffee and the swooshing sound of the ground coffee sliding out into the machine. Even the machine gurgling away is part of the mini meditation. I'm quite happy to just sit in the kitchen and enjoy listening in the same capacity I would listen to music. Of course, it's not quite as involved as a Japanese tea ceremony, but it's the closest I can replicate. I thought I would share the sound of this with you. When I listen back, I can almost smell fresh coffee again.
