I have a textile habit, largely enabled by Etsy, which involves battered packages arriving on my doorstep after lengthy journeys across the globe from Bagru or Jaipur. Iâve never been to India (Itâs at the top of my bucket list) but India arrives at my home in Los Angeles regularly, in the form of block-printed tablecloths, quilts, and fabrics by the yard that I have sewn into pillow covers or curtains. I have been known to keep a stack of yardage folded neatly in a closet in case of some unidentified textile emergency.Â

The pour-over coffee brewing method has been around for decades and it is still considered by coffee professionals to be the premier method for brewing a divine cup of coffee.
Aharon Coffee founder Aharon Vaknin enjoys at least one pour-over a dayânot just for the wonderful tasting resulting cup of coffee, but also because he deeply enjoys the ritual.
