✨"All my favourite dives have one thing in common. The holy trinity. Yet an unconventional one, as we perceive it in my homeland. Great coffee, pickled camembert-style cheese just in the right state of funk (the only tapas you can generally get anywhere in Czechia), and of course, the liquid gold. Good lager. This one is from Únětice, a microbrewery at the very edge of Prague." @godfish

In search of the perfect strong, frothy coffee to make you smile

✨"Here, the coffee is made quickly in a small, efficient espresso machine with several serving options.

The man making the coffee is attentive and discusses their hopes of expanding their offerings and services with methods that will attract new customers, as current market prices have led to a decrease in business." @roswelborges

Let's celebrate this day with coffee

✨"On Sunday, we celebrated family time, so to share and do something different that day, I went with my mom to have this delicious cup of coffee with cream. In my case, I had it without sugar, but it was delicious, or maybe it just felt that way because it had been so long since I had had it, ha ha ha.

And to accompany it, we had these little rolls, which have a name, but I honestly can't remember it. If you know what it is, let me know. 😄 We all know that black coffee doesn't go well on its own, so we usually accompany it with something, and what better way than with a delicious roll? 😋" @ikigaidesign

THE STRONGEST COFFEE I HAVE EVER TASTED😮

✨"🍵THE COFFEE
I made a small cup; I didn’t grind more than 4 grams, and to my surprise, it’s an incredibly strong coffee, so strong that I had to add water because it was even too intense for me, and I usually like it dark." @davot

A life-saving coffee shop

✨"My wife and I recently found ourselves in that situation. We were in Cienfuegos and didn't have any coffee, so very early in the morning, we went for a walk around the city to find a coffee shop that opened early so we could enjoy a cup.
That's how we found Coffee Shop San Carlos, a centrally located, comfortable place with great coffee." @abelarte

Horsing Around having Coffee and Cake

✨"I called in at a lovely garden centre called the 'Notcutts Dukeries' in the next county to do a bit of shopping, and of course, a coffee! You know when you are getting old when all of a sudden garden centres are the highlight of your week!" @ellenripley

Coffee among the magic of art 🖼 ☕️

✨"Samples could be taken from the cup with freshly roasted beans and even taken to you. I couldn't resist trying one, I always see that my grandmother tries them, and I wanted to do it. Conclusion: it's better to strain it because it doesn't taste good that way.😅" @samantha06

A COFFEE WITH THE FLAVOR OF MY PEOPLE

✨"It was Black Friday, and I went out to the Tigre store to do some shopping, and early on, there was an impressive downpour that made the morning very cold. In the midst of that pleasant climate, several places that I visited offered me delicious coffee, very hot to withstand the cold that it was.
One of the traditions of my city is that the commercial area has sales of hot dogs and empanadas everywhere, and taking a break from my eating routine, I sat down to eat a dog on one of the streets they occupy, which is boulevard style, with no vehicles passing through it. @annafenix

The barista at Cosecha Café

✨"Seeing me take pictures of his works of art, our coffees, gave him a nice feeling, and of course, the whole place. As I walked around taking my pictures, I saw that the place is so quiet that there was even someone working on their laptop and, of course, with their coffee. During the time we were there, we enjoyed the service, the atmosphere, and above all, the coffee, which was just right in terms of flavour and aroma. That was the best part." @brujita18

Spending time at eicev 2025

✨"I had no idea what coffee tasting was like, so I didn't do it right, I didn't enjoy it, and I certainly couldn't determine the quality of the coffee. As we say here in Venezuela, the coffee scolded me after a couple of sips, and the rest was drunk by my friend V, who knows much more about coffee tasting than I do and who drinks much, much more coffee than I do. She said it was very good. Look how happy she was." @verdesmeralda
