How to set it up
- Wipe the sill and check it can hold the weight of a kettle and a full mug.
- Set the dripper and mug at one end, and the beans and plant at the other.
- Heat water in the kitchen and carry it over in a kettle, so no cord reaches the window.
Make it feel like a café
- Open the curtain a little for soft light on the mug.
- Keep only what you use that day on the sill and the rest in a cupboard.
- Add a small linen cloth to catch drips.
