THE GRIND: NO. 380

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.

Historic café in Turin, Italy: Café al Bicerin

✨"I found a spot, sat down, and ordered the classic Bicerin coffee while checking out every detail of the place and the table itself.
The napkins had a text written by Umberto Eco, one of the great authors who had been there alongside Alexandre Dumas and the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche.
They took my order and wrote it down in pencil on a piece of paper I hadn't seen in a long time." @belug

We changed our coffee brand – My headaches

✨"Ever since I started seeing it in stores, its design has caught my attention, which I don't like, ha ha ha (I'm a designer, and if it were up to me, I would make some changes). Aside from its logo, the coffee is of excellent quality and is also grown in Monagas, if I'm not mistaken, in Caripe, to be more specific. It has a good aroma and flavour. I can distinguish the aroma of different brands, and I've been able to do that since long before I started drinking coffee, haha, and this coffee is very distinctive. I like it." @amatorrs

It doesn't have to be ostentatious to be good

✨"I enjoyed a very pleasant moment at “El Encuentro, Arte y Café”, located at the entrance of the National Art Gallery of Caracas.
This little corner attracted me like a magnet, the first-class attention from its friendly host made me feel at home, and I could not just go on my way, but I decided to give myself a break and also a little treat. @verdesmeralda

Coffee, songs and friends

✨"Shortly after they finished their song, several customers began to arrive, filling the establishment.
We ordered another round of coffee and then sat down to chat and catch up on our projects and personal lives.
It was a wonderful afternoon. An afternoon filled with music and the smell of freshly brewed coffee." @abelarte

A Lovely Morning Coffee at The Yondermann Café

✨"Inside, it just looked like a regular cafe, but it was clean and comfortable. It wasn't long before we were greeted with menus at our chosen table. The café has been under the ownership of the same couple since 2008, and they like to support local businesses by using local and homemade products." @ellenripley

Coffee Musings | Conundrum

✨"I can easily get into the category if being a cacti friend. I'm there, but I do not tend to message people so often. And by this habit, I do not have busy apps or other things. Tending to keep to my track and the rest of the things I need to do during my day, it gives no time whatsoever to get into conversations. However, I do have my cacti friends I can message from time to time and get my deep thoughts out and get some feedback." @bertrayo

Yocoima coffee review: Gourmet type with the best tradition in identity☕

✨"This Gourmet coffee, as it says on the back of its packaging, is the result of the mixture of beans, selected from different parts of the country, or specifically from where, but in their social networks on Instagram, they make it very clear that it is a 100% Venezuelan product, that is, that their beans are chosen in our country. The packaging is gold in colour, with black and red letters, with a decoration of a small coffee bean band at the bottom, with red lines around it. " @neilamarcano

A coffee to laugh above the clouds

✨"How could we not celebrate by sharing a high-altitude coffee? Yes, high-altitude for the company, the result shared by @ernestopg and proudly received by us; but high-altitude also for the chosen location, El Balcón de los Frutos, that spot that offers us such beautiful views of downtown Santa Clara, which I'm also showing you with the hope that you'll enjoy it with us." @roswelborges

A musical coffee

✨"Café Guillén's menu is a sensory journey. From the most intense espresso to creamy cappuccinos and aromatic infusions, each cup is prepared with care and dedication. In addition, the gastronomic offer is not far behind: fine pastries, artisanal sandwiches, tropical smoothies and Cuban desserts that conquer the palate." @dulcekpricho

My little breaths in the middle of chaos: coffee for the soul

✨"I remember, in the middle of this week after my school day, when I was finally able to get home, the first thing I did was take off my shoes and sit at the table to enjoy my cup of coffee. It's not just a drink, it's that aroma that envelops you, that warm embrace you feel between sips. I don't mean we resolved any pending issues, but it did give me an inner peace I longed for." @sidalim88
