Definitely not in my blood - my dad and my sister does occasionally like to drink some instant coffee, however I was the first in the family to try out and fall in love with "proper" coffee - beans and grinding and steaming the milk and everything. It was in fact I who introduced proper coffee to the family.

My first "exposure" to an espresso shot was via a friend in Med-school, the night before our first semester Anatomy final! Needless to say I didn't sleep the entire night LOL! I finished my revision, went off and gave the exam, had lunch and only then I started to feel sleepy.

Aye aye! 🖖

You sure made the step towards the right direction! Instant coffee is just for the case when there is really no other type of coffee available around! But if you have the choice you better skip that… 😁

Hehe I agree! Unfortunately here there are still a lot of places and shopping malls without a proper cafe and I sometimes still have to rely on their instant coffee if I'm in the mood!

Which is your country? I mean, here in Bulgaria it’s completely normal for every Cafè, or bar, or restaurant, or whatever you can think of, to have an espresso machine. It’s pretty terrible espresso most of the time, but when you order “a coffee”, anywhere, you’ll get an espresso like 95% of the cases. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I am based in Bangladesh. Espresso machines haven’t really caught up here, it's slowly changing though. But still, you’d expect to see one in slightly more posh restaurants and posh shopping malls. I have in fact been disappointed to not find one in one of the nicest, busiest mall in the Capital.

That’s a little bit shameful, but after all I don’t think espresso is so popular in Asia. I’ve spent in Japan a lot of time and there also is very difficult to find espresso coffee. In Europe, we may be closer to Italy, the mother of espresso machines, and they seem to be everywhere! I think the situation is gradually changing and the global coffee culture is developing in all the continents. Maybe we just need a bit more time and patience.

Coffee saved the day!

This reminds me a lot of my student years. I had a difficult physiology exam and my fellow students prepared strong coffee. I thought this would be great to keep me awake but unfortunately I belong to that small percentage of the population that coffee makes them sleep soundly... hehehe I'm like a little rebel before the world! A cup coffee before going to sleep would be my best sleeping pill 😂

Haha I don't know whether to say you're lucky or unlucky xD

On one hand you might miss out on the "kick" that caffeine gives us! But on the other hand you can drink coffee whenever you like without having to worry whether it will mess your sleep schedule!

Hahaha you're right! I have to look at the positive side of this condition 😂☕️

Haha! I always liked coffee, but in college, I got addicted to it, lol.
I studied engineering and when we had some work to hand in and we stayed up all night doing it, I think if I was pricked I would get coffee instead of blood. LOL

I got addicted to it

Haha I've been there! Once I realized how dependent I was getting, I actually had to slowly wean myself off of coffee for a few months. Once I had full control again I kept my coffee intake under strict check!

I love coffee, and I love to drink several a day. But if I go a day or a few days without drinking it, nothing happens. I can survive, lol.
