Not picking on coffee or the extra effort to get the last drop of cosmic flavor nor calling out practitioners of same. But having been to both extremes in the coffee "experience", I find that the focus on the making process offers diminishing returns vs. time and bandwidth spent maintaining the ritualistic discipline. Although, the idea of a mind-blowing cup of coffee from wild beans harvested at high altitude in Ethiopia seems like I'd like to experience. Once. Maybe twice.
