This actually works for me. It takes me at least an hour to feed the cats, clean the pans, do sundry other things before I’m ready to sit back with a hot cup. I’ve worn off all that cortisol by then. :-)
Your routine closely resembles mine. The cats DEMAND their breakfast and won’t leave me alone until I give it to them. At least I get the coffee makers ready the night before, so I just have to turn them on. TWO coffee makers- my loves her flavored coffee, hazelnut, and I just like mine black.
I do almost the same. If I am in a hurry it is 15 minutes but if I do all the stuff, feed the barn cats, special care the timid ones, pet them all a little etc. it is nearly an hour before my first cup.
My Momma drank some coffee all day. There was always a pot of coffee. There were also partially consumed cups of coffee all over the house by the end of the day. No smoking though or drinking. She lived to be almost 92.
I thought I was at least one of a few that messes the troops before himself in the morning and evening.
