Life feels lighter that way
✨"I made an improvised charcoal stove when I saw the electricity was out in the morning and had no way to brew coffee. I have a gas stove at home, but that too ran out, and gas is scarce in the country, so I have to wait until it’s available at the gas distribution point. My messenger will let me know, and I’ll rush over there with the gas cylinder mounted on my shopping cart, kicking stones, thinking about how much I’d love to see this street paved and garbage containers on every corner, excited because maybe I’ll spot the peacock perched on the mamey tree and get to greet him in the language only he and I understand." @nanixxx
Coffee Musings | A Sip of Reality
✨"The idea of having the conversation came after the coffee. But I did not want to budge into something that would take time during her busy runs of work. I waited for the time to have it. And it came. Things are in order, and we continue to be around for each other as long as our busy lifestyles give us room to accommodate a date or something else. " @bertrayo
Now, and For All Yesterdays
✨"I remember—or do I? Not once upon, and not time. An elderly Arab guy rooted in the very same chair, a nevergreen, under-watered, lucifugous plant. The very same café-fueled corpse pose. Day by day, dusk to closing—at least for those who still believed time mattered. Smoking, until this vice was banned indoors to protect the tormented lungs of city-dwellers, and then just sipping a single cup of coffee all day long. Perfectly tolerated here back in those days, which could recur tomorrow, except that’s, perhaps, the only thing that has changed since I was a novice-coffeehouse layabout." @godfish
Between rain, coffee and new beginnings
✨"I don't know if any of you have had a similar experience, but in my particular case it is a fundamental piece in unique and unforgettable moments during the development of a conversation or the reading of a book or a rainy morning or if I need to comfort my strength, an appointment with myself or simply in the company of a cup of coffee and me. This space with coffee allowed me to remember that life needs to be nourished and not only lived amid urgencies, so today, dear reader friend, I invite you to pause and treat yourself to a coffee without such a hurry." @sidalim88
A new brand of Coffee " Café con Bracamonte"
✨"The truth is that this day they were promoting it in this store, in their stand they offered a cup of coffee to taste, the truth is that I liked it a lot and bought a package, I hope that all the products have tastings like this coffee, I am very happy that this store grows and offers its new brand of coffee alluding to the coffee shop that opened its doors 3 years ago and offers the city a meeting place and pleasant moment with its quality products." @wendyth16
About Butterflies after a coffee
✨"Like someone sharing a strong espresso, accompanied by music, a typewriter, a sewing machine, and a third, a story-seller, I begin this new journey like this, in black and white, to sniff out memories and savour new sensations with everyone." @roswelborges
Coffee Rosa Enigma: A sip of cherry caramel and art
✨"The experience began when I ordered this curious coffee that I had already seen mentioned on social media for its attractive colour and presentation. It is a cherry caramel base mixed with natural pink colouring, decorated with cherries that sit at the bottom of the cup like little hidden treasures. A combination that is not only visually charming, but also achieves a delicious balance between sweetness, smoothness, and the subtle bitterness of coffee." @chacald.dcymt
A Sweet Stop in BGC: Ice Cream & Coffee at Bubu
✨"If you’re ever in BGC and the mood for something a little different, Bubu is worth checking out. This cosy place surprises you with how nicely it combines coffee and ice cream. The rich, creamy ice cream or the strong kick of a superb coffee will suit you with treats like a Seasalt Foam Americano, Spanish Latte and their interpretation of the traditional affogato. It's the ideal place to have a chit-chat with your special someone or even with your friends, satisfy your sweet tooth, or just have a casual break for a while." @sherline
If I only knew
✨"I dug out the little electric coffee grinder from the kitchen cupboard that I 'inherited' with the apartment. I bought a huge pack of roasted coffee beans, and with a big smile on my face, I decided that from now on, I would grind my coffee before preparing it so that it would always be fresh. Oh, what happiness when I poured the coffee beans into the electric grinder, closed the lid of it and heard that familiar sound of the small engine and the rolling of those delicious beans in the machine during their process of being broken, ground and turned into powder. A real coffee bean carousel." @mipiano
The Bare Bottle: Getting Our Coffee Fix in Seminyak
✨"Of course, you could get cold drinks like fresh fruit juice, like many places in Bali, but we were here for the coffee. We were tempted by a pastry - many coffee shops sell croissants and the like as well, but since we just had a full buffet brekky at the hotel (and shit coffee) all we wanted was an oat latte, which we got - and it was delicious." @riverflows
Not Another Coffee Morning at Drip & Drop cafe, Bangalore.
✨"This wasn’t your typical coffee tasting session. It wasn’t even really just about coffee. What we tried to do that morning was go beyond the bean, to shine a light on the lesser-known, often quiet companions to coffee on the farm.
Everything we showcased came from St. Margaret Estate, our family farm nestled deep in the Western Ghats. Over the years, we’ve nurtured coffee, yes! But also pepper vines." @coffeenlove
