The Grind: No. 334

Welcome to our curation compilation of sensational stories!

Community members around the globe contributed some fantastic original tales this week, centred around the one true elixir of life- coffee! We enjoyed the passion in these posts, and as all good coffee pals do, we wanted to share a cup of them with you!

Cinnamon Cup Coffee is centred around creating a virtual coffeehouse environment, which energises its occupants with the digital ambience of coffee creativity. We hope you will adore these posts as much as we did.

If you find inspiration in them too, why not amplify the love? Sharing our joy through chatting with other authors is the next best thing to buying them a cup of coffee. What a perfect way to thank them for a great read!

My seat in the coffee shop

✨"As you can see the space between one table and another is minimal, of course, it is a table for two, but luckily for me, there were few people and I could sit in what I consider the best seat: the one where I can visualize the whole environment, see what is happening in front of me, not that the matter obsesses me, but I dislike being with my back to the entrances." @damarysvibra

A Day Without Coffee is a Day Wasted!

✨"Nothing else compares to a magical cup of aromatic coffee to kickstart my day! Of course, it is even better eaten with a rusk.
What is a rusk? Almost like Biscotti, but a little harder, and needs to be dunked in coffee to soften it, or one can break a veneer, crown, or filling, which for sure will make the dentist smile ;)" @lizelle

Coffee Shop Atmosphere That I Don't Like

✨"There are people who drink coffee as a routine every morning. It feels like if they don't drink coffee, their day will feel different. Some people drink coffee for work purposes. They need coffee at certain times during sleepy hours like an energy booster for them.
Some people drink coffee to enjoy a relaxing time and at the same time do work, especially online work or meetings with colleagues. I am the latter type. I always want to drink coffee to relax but also check my online work." @anggreklestari

My favorite beverages for ever: Coffee

✨"I show a visit to my favourite coffee shop, because they offer excellent service, and good coffee, we addicts are demanding and do not lie when it comes to drinking a well-made coffee with that bitterness that energizes us instantly and that in each sip our senses are aligned at the time. Besides that this coffee shop that goes by the name @lapanetteria so you can look for it on Instagram is located in the best shopping centre of my little city Traky, that's why many times you see me in this beautiful place, and every time I come to the bank, supermarkets or stores that offer this mall, " @wendyth16

✨️Enjoying with my friend a fantastic experience at “Amarelo Coffe&tea” in Cumaná, Venezuela.✨️☕️

✨"In this Mall is in my opinion, the most pleasant and beautiful place “Amarelo Coffee &tea”. A place I have always dreamed of enjoying a coffee. I tell you that every time I have gone for a walk to the Mall, a photo of this place can not be missed. But something happened and that is that my son Thomás is working there hahaha, he is a Barista. Although he is not yet in that job." @elamaria

Coffee and good conversations

✨"Although I mostly visit coffee shops for pleasure or work conversations, there are times when I invite my brother to enjoy a coffee; We usually talk about anything, especially gym-related stuff and the challenges we face, he is at university and I am at work. We do this every Friday, as it is the day when our schedules are the most free. I almost always order a Latte, as I usually drink espresso at home." @soldierofdreams

A Coffee and a Sweet my love, please!

✨"We arrived at our favourite coffee shop, for now, hehehe, I think I have already told you about it on another occasion, it is spacious, has two rooms, one with air conditioning and one with natural air, their desserts and sweets are delicious and very fresh, also has a very polite staff, ha and the music that can be heard in the background is very soft, it is truly a place to relax and have a good time." @carisma77

Sunday coffee

✨"I recommend the place, it's called El Ingenio, it's in Calle Enramadas and besides we heard that these days they're going to have concerts in the place, the stage was already mounted and everything looked very good so I'm sure I'll go back soon to try other coffees and desserts on the menu." @jaspoems

Morning time with coffee and bakery at EL PRIMO PANADERÍA Y PASTELERÍA. ☕️🥐🍩🥞

✨"EL PRIMO PANADERÍA Y PASTELERÍA is a colloquial cafe in Barcelona. This place doesn't just have coffee. There are also many other drinks to choose from. And most importantly, there are a lot of bakeries here. This should be the highlight of the shop because we saw that there were bakery items that looked delicious, and different from other cafes. So we decided to come to this cafe." @miingjazz

Sip and Gossips: Coffee and Chill at Urban Cafe

✨"We met at the famous Opon Merkado still in Lapu Lapu City; there we saw a perfect spot to have coffee and chill. Urban Cafe offers a variety of options for you to indulge in; just see the attached photos for your reference. The place is indeed a perfect spot for a moment of sip and forget about the loads of work. Its interior was indeed beautiful; I love the way they conceptualize the theme for their café; it's just beautifully good. How about you? Have you experienced a sip of good coffee at Urban Café? Share your thoughts about their coffee and the place; I would love to hear from you." @marfeatures

A coffee cup for a Jazz concert 🎵☕

✨"When I looked into the price chart, I realized that they were all quite high. That disappointed me a little, to tell the truth, because I was expecting a similar value to the last time, which was more in line with the reality in which we live. Anyway, I wasn't going to choke with the snub, so I ordered an Americano coffee, which was the best in terms of quantity, quality and price." @claudiocruz

That Sweetness You Can Smell

✨"Where there's coffee, there's cake.
Hmmm, did they just manipulate my palette? LOL. Of course, coffee and cake do go well together, so we ordered a couple of slices also for dessert.
It was just the 4th of January and we were fresh off the New Year celebrations. My daughter wanted to have cheesecake for the NYE celebration but our oven was broken, and we could not find a bake shop where to order. We ended up not having a cake. LOL" @arrliinn
