hello fellow coffee lovers! i've been a silent reader of the community and finally decided to interact. here is my list.

it all starts with the preparation - i usually have dripped coffee at home. from the sound of the piping kettle to how water slowly drips from the filter, it all brings excitement.

the aroma - it just brings me joy. there is no secrets with coffee, you immediately know when someone is making one. the aroma alone wakes up my senses.

the taste - that exciting blend of bitterness and fruity or even chocolatey. it uplifts my spirit. i prefer a warm mug for that added roasted taste.

that shared experience with friends - for people in their 30s, there is no perfect time for catching up other than over a cup of coffee. it sets the mood, it warms the soul, it makes you open up.

it's the perfect companion for desserts - yes i said it. i immediately think of coffee when having desserts. coffee is unassumming, it can be the center of attention but it can also be just at the background making sure the experience is complete.

and that is why my picture of coffee usually have desserts on the side.
