Specialty coffee creator: Michael

Specialty coffee creator, particular, reverent, and meditatively nerdy

Prompt: A particular, softly obsessive male voice that takes coffee very, very seriously. His smooth mid-tenor is calm and precise, describing grind size and bloom with quiet reverence, occasionally sighing at a good pour. There's a gentle snob-with-a-heart quality—he'll gatekeep nothing but judge everything. The sound of a home barista at 7 AM, treating a single cup like a small act of devotion. Meditative, nerdy, and weirdly soothing.

Script: Okay, water just off the boil, never boiling, you'll scorch it. Bloom first. Little splash. 30 seconds. Let it breathe. Hear that? That's the good gas escaping. Then pour slow, in circles. Don't rush the person you love. 12 ounces of pure patience. Is it better than the coffee shop?
