The audio starts with the distinct sound of a coffeemaker in operation. There's a harsh hissing noise that dominates, a sound not unlike steam escaping under high pressure. It's an intrusive, grating noise, one that is somehow abrasive against the peaceful backdrop of a kitchen. Although it's clearly a coffeemaker at work, the sound is far from the comforting percolation one might expect from such an appliance. Instead, the hissing gives an impression of a machine straining, working against itself. Amidst the hissing, there are subtle undertones of bubbling liquid, perhaps the coffee brewing, but it's almost drowned out by the strident hiss of the steam. The sound is a stark reminder of the coffee making process, a juxtaposition of the comfort of a warm drink and the harsh reality of its creation.
