The best part of a morning cup is the few minutes before you drink it: grinding, heating the water, watching the bloom. Treat those minutes as yours.
Use the same cup each day, and one that you like to hold. Put the phone in another room. Sit down, if only for ten minutes.
None of this makes the coffee taste better in a laboratory. It makes it taste better to you, which is the only measure that matters.
