THE GRIND: NO. 369

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!

A Local Coffee Discovery: Café Don Emilio

✨"Whoever sells criollo coffee always clarifies that it is not mixed. When this happens, the flavour changes, and it acquires a very particular burnt taste that is noticeable. Fortunately, in this case, this was not the case. It is a coffee that I would buy again without hesitation, for its intense flavour and good aroma. With half a kilo of this coffee, I can forget about it for several days without having to go out to buy it." @yelimarin

Mimi Cafe Moments: Where Coffee Meets Comfort

✨"The counter where you can place your order is not too big, but it looks very nice and clean. It is made of light wood, and the colour matches the whole theme of the café. As I said before, the theme of Mimi Café is white and brown, and this counter really follows that. The brown wood looks warm, and the white tiles or walls around it make everything look fresh. It gives a peaceful feeling, like a little home for coffee lovers." @pearlyshelll

Where Time Paused and Lattes Flowed: Reunion at Beaurih Café!

✨"We chose Beaurih Café, a cosy little spot tucked in San Miguel, San Antonio- known for its wide variety of coffee flavours, both hot and cold; Beaurih Café was the perfect place for our catch-up. Each of us picked our favourite drinks — from iced blends to warm, comforting brews — and settled into the cosy ambience that made the conversation flow easily." @teacherlynlyn

GREAT TIME, GOOD COMPANY, GOOD COFFEE!

✨"When we finished eating and to close with a flourish, my daughter ordered two coffees, for her a small black one and for me a coffee with milk that was frothy and delicious, as I have told you in other of my publications, my husband does not drink coffee, I think it is the only bad thing he has, hahahaha." @tibilopez

Coffee of Abundance

✨"We are waiting for the fruits of the coffee. I went down to the field where the bushes are, and they look more beautiful than ever. After having received an excess of fertiliser that withered them, I don't know for what reason, today they are thriving strongly. I was worried, but nature herself reminded me that she, on her own, is capable of finding her balance." @belkisa758

Cursing a Telecom Monopoly with a Cappuccino in Havana

✨"On days like today, work flows better with coffee. We decided to sneak out of the office and treat ourselves to cappuccinos at a place called "Café Zillo" (a playful twist on cafecillo – "little coffee"). It’s on the corner of 3rd and 4th, very close to the Malecón (seafront)." @gaviotawriter

A coffee as a pretext

✨"There are many advantages and disadvantages when visiting coffee shops in my city. From both sides. It's very difficult to find a coffee shop with completely satisfactory service. When it's not the weather, it's the price, but the actual quality of the coffee served, or the staff's behaviour... There's almost always something to complain about, unfortunately, for the most part." @roswelborges

Friends of the Farmer Event at Maverick and Farmer, Bangalore.

✨"On a breezy Sunday evening in Ulsoor, the smell of freshly brewed coffee hung in the air. At Maverick & Farmer Café, about 30 coffee enthusiasts came, not just for a coffee tasting, but for a conversation. For a chance to slow down, sip thoughtfully, and learn about what goes into making that one beautiful cup." @coffeenlove

Coffee and dessert with the family

✨"We all went very happy, since the last outing was a long time ago and being able to be together drinking coffee is something priceless, and I am sure you have also gone through that moment of happiness and joy. When we arrived, we were received in the best way, where we all went for the first option, and it was a traditional coffee with milk, without inventing too much, since that is the best and my sister does not like black coffee, so that one suited her very well." @davidpena21

A delicious part of my daily routine/ Day 3 Hive Around The World

✨"Particularly on the days I work, I don't always have the time I would like to drink it at home, due to the convulsive schedules that sometimes result. But today this condition came in handy, because I took the opportunity to try the coffee from one of the new machines that have been installed in the restaurant located on the upper floor of my work centre." @indipnash91
