in a clean cup

Great haiku, but 'SOILED' water? sounds unhealthy. Not a critique Kim, just how I perceive your image. The aroma of fresh brewed ground coffee reminds me of Germany, happy days.

I especially love it after buying an aeropress, a coffee grinder and a frother. My neighbor says it is better than Starbucks. I love using salted caramel creamer. :)

My morning cup of coffee and I are both in pause mode after this clever read. Ah, what the hey, I'm sipping my soiled water and glad of it. Clever, clever and a pauser for me, to be sure! Poetry hugs ... CayCay

I personally don't drink coffe, always hated the taste but I can imagine the feelings this induces to coffee-drinking readers! Well done!
