While it's certainly possible to overcomplicate things, I find that brewing a good cup of coffee in the morning is a pleasant ritual. Some amount of complexity is actually fun, although it's a different amount for different people. In that sense coffee is no different than hifi, wine, chocolate, weed, or any other sensory-driven hobby.

I think it adds a pleasant type of certainty to the day. Perhaps it engadges that part of the brain and switches focus from internal thoughts to the real world too.

I find it a mix. There are days where the complexity is fun, there's (most) other days where I just need coffee before a day of complexity at work.

My wife broke her leg and the 3 month old poops every few hours in the night. I still enjoy hand grinding my beans and doing a pour over in the morning, though!
