A Glass of Ice Americano After My Jogging
✨"Diligently drinking Nescafee americano makes me feel comfortable doing activities, more productive in doing creativity in teaching and creating content material. But remember, even so, coffee consumption should not be excessive because it will have a bad impact on health." @ettydiallova
The good, the bad and the ugly. Real experiences in coffee shops
✨"There are coffee shops that are just coffee shops that are in a hurry. They are more concerned with selling than with creating loyalty among their customers. So you are constantly pressured to consume. They take the cup away from you, pushing you to leave. Places like this don't understand the coffee business, they don't understand the sense of sociability. That's one of the things that ruins a visit to a coffee shop.
Did I tell you about the ugly mall with excellent coffee? It's at Crab Bay Market, in my town." @adncabrera
Visiting cafe at iconic St.Petersburg Zinger Book Shop, or what I don't like in cafes
✨"I am a perfectionist and I like the best, but over the years I have learned to appreciate the combination of effort/result. I hate this typical situation when we want to drink coffee and spend an hour (!) walking from one place to another, evaluating and rejecting one option after another: here is an ugly design... here are wobbly tables... here is an expensive price tag, etc. Especially since - let's face it - you can expect coffee of approximately the same average level everywhere. And I agree that it may be average or lower, but it will be cheaper and faster (especially considering the time spent)." @qwerrie
Coffee shop annoyances
✨"Some of the things I don't like to find in a coffee shop.
*That the coffee that I order does not have the minimum requirements that for me would be that it is hot, somewhat strong and well presented. I recently commented that I went to a coffee shop and the coffee was lukewarm and in a cup that I considered dirty because it was dripping with coffee externally, to say its presentation disenchanted me." @damarysvibra
Coffee at the S42 Café
✨"I fancied something different to drink, so I opted for a strong espresso. The lady who served me was only standing in for her daughter and was unfamiliar with what an espresso was. She bought it for me cold. I've heard of iced espressos but not cold. She ended up putting some hot water in it for me. It wasn’t the weather for cold coffee. The espresso ended up twice the size it should have been. Surprisingly, it still tasted good." @ellenripley
A coffee to lighten the hard times
✨"My day can be very bad, but if I drink a cup of coffee everything changes for the better. It is as if I were drinking a miraculous medicine, which repairs every void and every wound until I find that part of me that helps me to move forward. Solutions rain faster with a simple cup of concentrated coffee. It's as if you suddenly feel complete and nothing disturbs you, even when there are a thousand daggers at your back." @soldierofdreams
Morning Coffee: The Perfect Coffee to Kickstart My Day.
✨"Moments like this, where the combination of coffee, community, and the early hours of the day blends, remind me how important it is to cherish these small but meaningful rituals. Despite waking up late, I felt grounded and grateful for my family, our business, and the new connections I’m making here in the Hive." @anlizapasaje1234
The magic of coffee
✨"On the tables there is a kind of vase containing some coffee beans, my first impulse is to taste one of them. After seeing the offer board, there is no traditional menu, so we decided on a Cappuccino and the croquettes that we knew were good beforehand." @iriswrite
tcsp w99: Things I don't like in a coffee shop ☕
✨"That the coffee is cold. This to me is disappointing and I don't think I would go back to a coffee shop where they have that oversight. Although I detest a super hot coffee, I think that having it at a pleasant temperature on the palate is ideal. I want to clarify that in my country the most common thing is to go to the cafeteria to have a hot coffee, someone rarely goes to a cafeteria for a cold coffee, here it is not customary to drink it cold. However, I have the restlessness of someday being able to experience the taste of an iced coffee, that's another level. 😁 But what I mean when I say cold, is a hot coffee that they have left a long time served before delivering it to the customer." @alborhada
Cold coffee with condensed milk topping
✨"I was at my in-laws' house, where we always enjoy the beautiful custom of sharing a delicious black coffee. Especially guarapo or guayoyo, as it is called in the state of Monagas, where my mother-in-law is from. Although I am a fan of strong coffee, my mother-in-law has adapted my way of making coffee and now also prepares it a little more intensely. After lunch, we sat and chatted pleasantly. However, this time it was very hot despite the air conditioning, so I told her I wanted something cold. When I opened the fridge, I saw the condensed milk and pasteurized milk, and it occurred to me to prepare a delicious cold coffee with a topping of condensed milk. So I said to myself, 'Militza, let's get to work!'" @milik80
A Delicious Coffee for Breakfast
✨"On this occasion, I was doing several activities at the same time, and as a good Venezuelan I decided to make all this preparation based on personal experience, therefore, there are no exact measurements, we are talking about a coffee that can be prepared very easily guided by common sense and tasting a little to be able to test that flavour that to our palate is the most pleasant." @iscrak
It's All About Coffee
✨"For cold brew sensation they had djournal mont blanc, caramel cream cold brew, orange cold brew, jasmine cold brew, and cold brew.
For nusa rasa (indonesian coffee series) they had kopi susu santai (relaxed milk coffee), kopi susu pisang (banana milk coffee), kopi susu batavia (batavia milk coffee), kopi pandan aren (palm sugar pandan coffee), kopi rempah (spices coffee), and kopi ube (ube coffee)." @devyleona
