My first outdoor coffee

✨"Outdoor coffee simply means boiling water over a flame outside, making coffee, and enjoying it in the open air. The taste may not be much different from what you get at home, but there was something truly special about quietly waiting for the water to boil, watching the flame, brewing the coffee, and drinking it slowly, all alone in the peaceful garden on a quiet morning. The cinnamon roll I picked up at a local market on the way to the garden was gently sweet — just the way I like it — and it paired perfectly with the coffee." @akipponn

Waking up with a delicious coffee: Review of my new programmable coffee maker

✨"Waking up and making coffee is the first thing I do, especially for my husband, who always brings a thermos to work. Sometimes, the morning gets a little complicated for me with time allocation, so this coffee maker has been a real ally in saving valuable minutes. I knew it would be a hit in the kitchen from the moment I saw it." @yelimarin

Artisanal coffee: living the present moment in every morning ☕

✨"I went to the municipal market of Cumaná last Friday, in the company of my friend Elizabeth, from time to time we coincide to do our shopping, we decided to make a tour first by each stall. On the way I noticed that there was a stand selling handmade coffee, although at the time I was not interested, from experience of previous years, when our country entered a food crisis and coffee was linked with everything, believe me the sellers at that time were heartless, they did not mind linking it even with ashes, from there my distrust in buying these coffee sellers." @neilamarcano

Preparing Step 3: Cappuccino in La Fátima

✨"When I start Step 3, everything starts with cold milk. We use whole milk, which, being the creamiest, offers the best texture for the cappuccino. We pour the milk into the jug, being careful not to exceed the appropriate amount; about a third is enough. Then, I place the jug under the steamer of the coffee machine. This is the moment when teamwork becomes even more evident. While I vaporise the milk, one of my colleagues makes sure that the espresso is ready and well concentrated, while another makes sure that the work area is clean and organised." @niggyayo

Episode: Rate the coffee!

✨"Little by little they have been integrating more products in their menu, such as breakfasts, desserts, more drinks, snacks and more, I think it is a complete franchise, because besides being a coffee business, they have also customized in their brand seasonal things, such as sweaters, cups, mugs, cooler and many more products, With this information I feel empowered to say that there is a very complete variety of products, which makes me know that they have commercialized the brand with a greater inclination towards the industrialization of the product." @marialeovalless

Of Coffee and other tragedies

✨"When there was not even a trace of black dust left in the well, a shipment arrived from abroad. My aunt, my father's sister, was sending us provisions to help us in the face of the tremendous crisis we are living in today in Cuba. Happy to have our food problems solved, I looked in the big blue nylon envelope to see if there were any more hidden surprises; I was thinking about the fundamental complement. " @maiasun84

Chito's Coffee: an oasis in the community

✨"The Buena Vista community is home to a unique space, a small green miracle that seems to sprout from the concrete: Chito's Coffee. No flashy signs or neon lights are announcing its presence. Its identity is not imposed by signs, but by the life that pulsates within." @iriswrite

A tasty coffee served at Minerva, the most famous Confectionery in Craiova, Romania

✨"There, the coffee arrived but also some pieces of cakes made with taste and soul (I couldn't resist the temptation), I think we had some of the best cakes in a pastry shop, they all tasted like home, I forgot one thing, to ask what coffee they used, it had a flavor I've never tasted before.
We quietly enjoyed the coffee with the taste of home-flavoured pastries and the tranquillity of the place, so if any of you ever get to Romania and, of course, Craiova, I recommend Minerva's Confectionery will definitely be an amazing experience." @triplug

Trying the Titanic

✨"La Cafebrería is a themed coffee shop, it is the only one in my city that presents weekly events, live music, comedy, conferences, among others. Its decoration is vintage style, which I have already commented on other occasions and fascinates me; its essence is books, whose library is growing every day and is projected as unique because it promotes reading through book exchanges with customers and users." @damarysvibra

The Coffee "Barquito"

✨"During the event, the words floated in the air, artists and writers shared their creations, while the sizzling of the cups and the soft murmur of the conversations created a precious atmosphere.
Poetry and prose readings offered a space where art and literature embraced with passion and delight." @maylink
