Specialty coffee
Filter, almost always. I brew on a V60 or my OXO rapid brewer and keep notes I pretend are scientific. The goal each morning: a cup that tastes like more than just "coffee".

01About
Hi — I'm Sönke, a software developer from Lübeck. I care a little too much about the small details most people never notice — in a cup of coffee, on a bike, or through a viewfinder.
Most mornings start with a pour-over and tasting notes I pretend are scientific. Most weekends involve a steel road bike and as much open tarmac as I can find.
And somewhere in between there's always a camera within reach, for the small, fast-moving moments I'm forever trying to hold onto.

Three things keep me sane. None of them involve a deadline.
Cycling
Long roads on a steel-framed Fairlight Strael 3.0. Steel because it soaks up the rough stuff and gives a little back, which feels about right for a bike that's mostly about clearing my head.
Photography
I shoot Fujifilm — mostly light, texture and the small everyday scenes most people walk straight past. The camera makes me slow down and actually look at things.
