A Cool Balancing Trick To Impress Your Coffee Drinking Mates
"I'm actually here to share a couple of things. One fits the other quite well. I like keeping used paper coffee cups. To me, they are some material for artsy stuff. Planting seeds, too. Playing games with...etc. In truth, I use them quite rarely.
But the other thing I just learned (and used my coffee cups in) was a happy little balancing trick that is quite catchy."

Desperate Measures - Must Have Coffee - Need Coffee
"We were almost out of coffee and having no grinder and being in the middle of nowhere I needed to improvise, and improvise fast as I want my fix...And I want my fix now! So I set about slowly and steadily crushing the beans with the flat of the blade of a heavy knife. over and over again, add more beans, crush crush crush."

Cinnamon Cup Coffee - Anyone for a Yellow Latte?
"After we looked around the museum we went to the River Cafe inside. The food is all locally sourced. My brother had a latte but I fancied something different, so I chose a turmeric oat latte made with steamed oat milk. The colour is always ... ahem ..... interesting."
@galenkp
Fact: Coffee saves lives
"You see, the at work G-dog without coffee is rather unpredictable, much like a junkyard dog let off the chain, an earthquake or volcano...Just about anything is possible. It's funny though, people think I drink coffee at work for my own benefit, but little do they know, I drink it for their safety and wellbeing. I know, I'm caring and generous."
@bighungrypanda
Coffee Sutra In Jaipur
"One thing that really intrigued me about this place is their Astoria Storm Semi Automatic Coffee Machine, Why you ask ? Because this machine has a really neat ergonomic design and to top it all off it has a touch screen interface which is quite cool I guess. I never knew you have touch screen coffee machines as well apart from you home coffee machines.

You drink your coffee while I waffle on - recipe included

"We went to collect the gazebo out of storage and I found our waffle maker sandwich toaster. I know that sounds weird but it is essentially a sandwich toaster with waffle plates instead of flat toaster plates. I decided to bring it back with us. We had a mission to make waffles yesterday.
They turned out beautifully golden brown puffy little pillows of deliciousness so I decided to share the recipe with you."

Ground Coffee House - My First Cup

"The staff who were serving behind the counter had a good knowledge base of where the coffee beans were grown and how they should taste which reminds me of how a Wine Connoisseur would be able to describe different wines from around the world with his/her knowledge base.
This was a first for me to ever have this sort of experience with coffee which inevitably has me wanting to learn more."

Cherry on, Nothing Hill Gate, London

"Cherry on caught my eye as soon as I got out of the Underground station in Nothing Hill Gate. This cakes on the window really made me want to get in. Although I have resisted the temptation because I just had lunch before I left home. As soon as I have entered I loved the decoration and the atmosphere of the place. It was spacious."

"The question is – is it the vibe, the coffee, the nice surroundings, people or just something that is so heavily romanticized by movies that the subconscious does all the work? Coffee shops just have the tendency to get it right.
Right now, I am writing this from ´Griddle and Grind´ in St. Neots, England that won me over with a cute design, the best hazelnut oat milk latte I´ve had so far and vegan grilled cheese. Such a ´main character´ moment."

With a Taste of Coffee | Poetry

"With a taste of coffee
life tastes better,
ideas flow
and the day is different,
with this fuel
energy vitalizes us
and its flavor kisses us
exciting the papillae ...With a taste of coffee
words seduce
first the soul
and then the heart,
the aroma like perfume
seduces our senses
and we are not the same
after drinking that nectar ..."

Tasting a delicious coffee-based beverage / Sweet orange coffee

"I talked to the waiter, and he recommended I order a coffee-based drink called "Sweet orange coffee" served in a shot, which could be a good alternative for me. I followed the recommendation and could only wait for the drink to arrive at my table.
When I received my drink, it looked both tasty and elegant at the same time. It is a drink served in layers and to consume. It has to mix them to enjoy all its ingredients."

Beautiful Natural Landscape and A Cup of Coffee

"One of the problems that often arise when going on vacation or camping in the wild is that we have difficulty getting a delicious cup of coffee. Except, suddenly there's a coffee shop in the middle of the woods and that seems even more spooky. There is an easy way to enjoy coffee while camping, namely brewing instant coffee. Boiling instant coffee is the most practical way to make coffee and I often did it before when I wasn't familiar with quality coffee. But, right now I can't drink Saschet coffee and the solution is I always bring my own coffee utensil."

"In Vietnam, the youngest in the family is often referred to as the “Cau Ut”. He is loved and cared for by all their older siblings and parents. You know the reason why the name really attracts me 🙂 The coffee shop, situated in one of the busiest streets of the city and surrounded by luxurious shops, still maintains its Vietnamese traditional style, from old television to old wooden chairs around small tables."

"The Pub is really spacious and nice, there is a beer garden if you want to get some fresh air. a lot of sitting areas and a jukebox that you can go and pick a song. This place have a really big connection with music.
There is an old music studio and radio, you've guessed it. The Boogaloo Radio, and that's why there are many live music events in this pub and specially during the weekends the place is always packed and the party is always at it's best."

"Just last weekend, we went on a pre-Valentine trip and he ordered a local coffee during lunch. He offered it to me so I could try it; I hesitated as I don't drink coffee. I gave it a try and ended up commenting "Why do you even drink coffee, it's too bitter!" He gladly replied: It's not just bitter, there are layers of taste that unravel in your mouth when you drink it."

"It’s a classical Italian thick wall cup. I think it is best used when pre-heated before you make coffee. Thus, the cup will absorb heat and keep your coffee warm for a longer period of time. Brewing in a cold cup, on the other hand, will have a negative effect on your coffee. The thick walls will absorb the heat from your coffee fast and your precious drink will be relatively cold in no time."

"I hope you are still loving your coffee and yes, life too:)
I learned yesterday that there is no better way to end a day's adventure than to have a cup of hot coffee on a balcony. "Really?"
Yes! Not our own though, but a coffee shop's. And it is even more fun and memorable when it's done on a Valentine's day!"

"On top of me not being really very happy with the fact that the place was more busy than I was expecting, that I got sit in a terrible table, then it was the cherry on the top of the cake.
They brought me the worst coffee I have drank in a long time.
Everything about the experience today was not as good as planned. So by the time I had the first sip of coffee until I left the levels of frustration and stress just kept adding up."

"I was pulling a shot too quick , the time was around 10 seconds and it was a full cup . So I went back to the book and to my grinder and adjusted it way finer and I feel I might have gone a bit too fine as the extraction was coming out slowly . So I adjusted it to 6.7 on my Mazzer grinder and let the magic happened I pulled my espresso for about 20.89 seconds . And what I got was a sweet , fruity cup . Not so strong but mild on the pallete, I am still going to work and mess around with the grinder and the beans just to see what I get."

"In Da Lat, it is not difficult to find a cafe with a beautiful view, poetic and romantic space... Among them, there is a new shop recently called Little December. This is a homestay combined with a cafe, a lovely and cool cafe. When you come here, you seem to get rid of all your worries to mingle with nature and plants."

Sip a cup of hot coffee on a fun-filled boat. Do you want to try?
https://images.hive.blog/0x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/quyetien/EoK4Po4SJevxJ5wXErmCbzCUBi4rkVrtiZdve13V9S6xthUDtVy8qnCPaZDZj5Pq7GR.jpeg
"In a cozy space like this, young people sit and sip a cup of hot coffee, on the other side, the children are smiling and looking very happy 😊. Now go inside this boat to fully discover its beauty😇.
Right in front of my eyes is a dry tree with cute little decorative lanterns. Do you know why grow a dry tree like this? That is to have more branches to attach decorative temple cages, fake flowers, and lucky money bags on the tree easier. In addition to pots of fresh flowers, dried plants decorated like this are very popular during the Tet holiday in my hometown😍."

"To celebrate this beautiful Valentine's Day, I wanted to share my experience with a delicious mocha coffee that I enjoyed on a walk with family and friends in the beautiful mountains of Caracas, Venezuela. One of the places I love to visit when I am in Caracas is the Warairarepano cable car. This time, I had 5 years without visiting my country and when I stepped on Venezuelan soil I wanted to visit this beautiful park with its beautiful landscapes."

"When I was a kid, I really thought being an adult was amazing, apparently, I was uhmmm kinda wrong lol.
We get up every morning and we get on with it. Taking breaks from time to time is a good idea. I didn't even mean to, I just got caught up in life. Of course, there are reminders everywhere."
