Morning coffee rituals

✨"First few mornings I’ll give brewing coffee in the Aeropress a go as it’s a relaxing way to brew, as I recall it’s easy and letting the brew stand for a few minutes tastes better and gives me time to get my breakfast cereal ready." @diveratt

Lost Books Cafe: A Cebu City Literary Haven

✨"Located at the CAO Mercado Building on Osmeña Boulevard in Capitol Site, Lost Books Cafe is easy to find. It's a small, inviting space filled with well-loved books, creating a warm and welcoming ambience. The café's atmosphere is perfect for quiet contemplation, focused study, or simply losing yourself in a good read." @nanaspeaks

The Simplest But Most Delicious Coffee

✨"I don't know, right now for me the latte doesn't feel so good on my tongue. Maybe because some lattes are served with unbalanced sugar, so it interferes with the taste of the coffee. While black coffee feels light when it passes through the throat and there is a unique aftertaste that is different for each type of coffee bean." @anggreklestari

An Accidental Afternoon Tea Inside Kinokuniya Bookstore

✨"The cafe itself looked rather charming, if I'm honest. It's all clean lines and light wood, with little Japanese trinkets peeking out from the shelves. It seemed like a peaceful little haven. Some customers were working, studying, or casually hanging out." @arrliinn

We went to a coffee tasting

✨"We had four rounds with four types of roasting: French press, V60, cloth sleeve and filtered with liquor and between rounds, we had small snacks to ‘forget’ the taste of the coffee, we had a bruschetta, a biscuit and some ice cream. Throughout the tasting, the barista told us the ratio of water and coffee, depending on the type of roast and the coffees we wanted to brew. He also told us the temperature of the water and whether the coffee should rest after brewing." @andr3apat1no

Discovering the Taste of Maturín : My visit to Yocco Restobar sport Coffee

✨"Good music was always present. Inside the venue, a giant 70" Full HD screen broadcasts soccer games and music videos, creating a very dynamic and entertaining atmosphere. And if you prefer to be outdoors, they also have a giant outdoor screen on the terrace, perfect for enjoying sporting events in a more relaxed environment." @chacald.dcymt

Between books and coffee: "A&B BOOK CAFÉ" a place inspired by Harry Potter ☕

✨"It is beautifully decorated in shades of brown and green, with warm lighting. It has two levels. On the first is the cafeteria, on the left-hand side is a lounge with a large sofa next to a fireplace and very close by is the library, which stretches along the entire wall and is full of books in Spanish and other languages. This was my favourite area! Because you can take any of them and bring it to your table while you drink your coffee." @mergusa88

Coffee or Tea: beginning or end ☕🍵

✨"Since I can not drink coffee in the afternoons, because if I take it it causes insomnia, then to relieve those cravings, I have chosen to drink tea, varying them according to the need or taste I have that day, most I do them naturally, with plants or natural seasonings, the most recent, today afternoon, I was not feeling quite well, that feeling of discomfort of headache, I know that oregano, is perfect for that symptom." @neilamarcano

Coffee Tour: Waikao Café. Comuna 13, Medellín, Colombia

✨"Something Medellín keeps teaching me is that coffee is culture, art, and history. My latest experience at the Waikao Café tasting, in the heart of the popular and very touristy Comuna 13, was yet another confirmation that in Colombia, coffee has its cult—and, of course, I consider myself part of it 😏" @lunaticanto

Coffee & Hearty Breakfasts: The Unforgettable Restaurant As We Start to Redeem Our Lives.

✨"We had another heavy breakfast, and of course, coffee is always my start. My husband asked me to go down just our lobby, the Chinese restaurant just opened back after changing owners, and this shop has our first burger stall. We doing well until we can open a few more stalls in different locations around in, Malaysia Selangor and Kuala Lumpur. Then the owner sold the restaurant, and the good news is all other stall owners are still here except us." @anlizapasaje1234
