Welcome to our curation compilation of sensational stories!

History in Coffee

✨"I thought the roast would have a darker colour, so it was easy to imagine the flavour it would have. Contrary to what experts indicate, coffee in Cuba (or at least, in the countryside) is roasted with sugar in order to achieve an almost black colour when grinding, and then a much more bitter taste in the preparation.
I took out my mini coffee maker, which looks like something out of a doll's house set, and placed just the right measure to make a cup. I didn't need any more." @claudiocruz

The delight of coffee: a faithful companion in every season of the soul

✨"We had many weather changes, sometimes very warm, sometimes very cool, rainy, but in short everything was part of the process, as an all inclusive, but the best of it all is that we had the option to simply go to a particular area and consume our drink according to consumer preference, hot, black with milk or cold, in short all had that captivating aroma that spread through the different spaces and corners to be that alarm that everyone needs in their particular place." @sidalim88

Coffee is the best antidote to smile and have a good time.

✨"Visiting a cafe is always comforting in difficult times. It's good to take some time to relax and clear your mind when unexpected adversities arise. This allows us to stay healthy and in tune with harmony and emotional well-being." @wendyth16

Coffee and family moments

✨"I asked my mother-in-law what brand it was, and she told me it was a coffee from the municipality of Caripe, sent by her brother from Maturin. As I tasted the first sip, I felt my body relax as good energy enveloped me. Coffee is the best antidote to talk and drain all the problems with friends or family... and what better if it's with your mother-in-law? and what better if it's with your mother-in-law! I am grateful for life because I feel that it is like a mother to me." @milik80

Juan Valdez Coffee The Pride of Colombia

✨"I must admit that Colombia is at the forefront of coffee production in the region. They also have a wide variety of flavours and presentations, among which instant coffee packets stand out, as they have become an everyday and practical tool that saves us time and allows us to continue enjoying a truly exquisite flavour." @iscrak

Quick Sip, Real Connection: Fast Dates That Still Hit Deep

✨"We ordered their best-selling "Caramel Macchiato" since it was my partner's favourite coffee, while I got their "Cappuccino". We chose a spot where we could talk freely about anything we wanted. Also, we thought of getting some snacks to partner with our coffee. We got ourselves some Cheesy Fries, since we only wanted a light snack." @charmingcherry

“In the Stillness of Morning for two of Us; Coffee Breakfast with my Hubby!"

✨"My husband and I decided to have breakfast at the doorstep local coffee shop, the one just around the corner from our place. We’ve been coming to this little spot for as long as we’ve lived here. It’s just downstairs from our condo, so it’s kind of become our go-to; the coffee is good, kind people, and that cosy feeling you can’t explain. Somehow, it always feels a bit special. We didn’t even plan it. We woke up a little later as usual, the kind of slow morning where we don’t feel like cooking. He looked at me and said, “Coffee and breakfast outside?” and I smiled and said, “Let’s go." @anlizapasaje1234

A ramdom day of coffee, swimming, fun, and work

✨"After this vacation and this delicious coffee, I concluded that we need a moment of relaxation with good company and, of course, visit new places where they serve good coffee. I hope I can go back soon to take a vacation like this." @chacald.dcymt

My Husband's Coffee

✨"My husband decided to make an espresso, which he makes very well and is very tasty. I'm indeed a fan of cortaditos, cappuccinos, and other milder coffees, but, according to my parents, morning coffee should be as strong as possible to energise us and start the day in the best possible way." @yirkahr

Pleasant Moment...

✨"I still enjoyed my delicious coffee, I finished drinking it all so it wouldn't get cold, and then I shared my dessert with my husband.

Everything was very good, my husband did not regret accepting my proposal even though he did not like the fact that it was a coffee shop, so I took him to a candy store, knowing that they sell coffee there, hahahaha." @tibilopez
