What can be lovelier than waking up to the aroma of a freshly brewed coffee? If you are a coffee aficionado, then you know that the smell of coffee works better than an alarm clock. And if your life revolves around deadlines, then a cup of coffee is your lifeline. You drink too much that it is you who makes the coffee nervous.
I recently wrote a product description of a popular coffee maker brand and while writing the copy, I realized that we, human beings, can steal ideas from a coffee machine. We don’t necessarily have to be a coffee drinker to take these ideas:
1. Brew fast.
There are happenings in life when you need to be swift, or life will eat you alive. Act fast, or you will lose out to the competition.
2. Make great-tasting coffee.
Just like the way you want it, down to the last drop. Always be the best version of yourself in everything you do.
3. Keep it hot.
Keep the passion, the momentum, and the love alive. This attitude will keep you motivated in your life journey.
4. Make noise while brewing.
I don’t mean bragging things when you achieve something. I mean focusing on your stuff and do everything in your power to accomplish your goal.
5. Embrace a well-designed body.
A well-engineered coffee machine has no design flaw. The simple yet awesome spout ensures that you will not worry about spilling when pouring your coffee. You can do the same for your physical health to ensure all your body parts work well and in good condition. Take care of your body. You can also mold your character and attitude to be positive too. It’s good not to be messy.
6. Be available always.
A dependable coffee maker is perfect for someone who loves to savor a good cup of coffee at any time of the day. A friend, a mom, a dad, a sibling is available anytime, even during busy times, to lend a shoulder, to give a hug, or to simply crack a joke.
7. Have a pause function.
Many coffee makers come with this special feature. More than machines, human beings need to give themselves a break. If you don’t want to blow your mind, take a pause.
8. Live a purposeful life.
Have you spent time alone in your favorite coffee shop, watching people pass by or reading a book? Or catching up with friends whom you haven’t seen in months? Or meeting up with business partners and colleagues to discuss new ventures? Or simply getting together for a coffee break? Either in a coffee shop, office pantry or at home, a cup of coffee has touched many lives. And a coffee maker has produced thousand cups of coffee. Don’t you agree a coffee maker is an awesome communication device? Touch many lives and live a purposeful life.
But remember, it is not just the coffee maker which delivers you good quality coffee. A good cup of coffee also depends a lot on the quality of the beans and the quality of the water you use. No man’s an island, remember? So connecting with people and the community is necessary to have a best-tasting life.
How about you? Have you thought of something you can take with you in your encounters with a coffee maker? A bittersweet experience perhaps? Leave a comment below and help me improve this list :)
