Update: July 29, 2025. Our Jura coffee maker is now 10 years old, so I’m adding a couple of photos below that might help tell the story about what I’ve been doing every 3 months or so to enjoy coffee this way.

Procreate, Apple Pencil, and finger…lots of finger.
I’m still getting the hang of the Apple Pencil, especially in the iPad (Pro) drawing app, Procreate. At this point my biggest complaint is that the Apple Pencil is very reluctant, were I to anthropomorphize it, to “pick colors,” that process of touching down on existing colors to select a given color. There are other wrinkles that I’m hoping I can iron out as well. So it’s hit and miss here and there…practice, learning, identity change.

Incidentally, the Jura Impressa C65? Yes, that’s the way to go. Nuff said.

Special thanks to Seth Watkins at Pinhook Farms in Clarinda, IA for the coffee mug.

And now…the updated, 10th-anniversary photos: 2015-2025
