a white coffee filter holder


(taken with nikon f on kodachrome 64)

hi.
it's been rather warm lately here.
i even see the sun sometimes shines modestly.
i appreciate those days as a treat in the midst of winter days.

when i took this picture in december, i was so excited with this old coffee filter holder.
as i don't like to make coffee with a coffee maker, i usually prepare my coffee by using a coffee filter holder.
i used to use a very cheap black plastic one sold in a supermarket for $2~3, and i hadn't been very happy with that.
because it has only one hole in the bottom, which means it drips coffee very very slowly and serves coffee not hot but rather warm, and it lacks attractiveness visually.
so i was very pleased to find this old white porcelain one at the local antique shop.
it had a price tag that said it's from 1960's as well as the price of $8.
it's an old melitta.
i'm not sure if mine is really that old or not, but i'm just fine with it irrespective of that matter.
because it is simply pretty!

btw, i liked the motion picture of the melitta's top page that i've linked above.
isn't it cute?
i want to enjoy my coffee like that. :)
