All that glitters is not coffee || #tcsp 125

✨"I decided to take some pictures for my Hive blog, and while I was at it, I noticed that a couple of girls who were in the place started talking about jobs they could get in local stores.
This surprised me a lot
because, although I tend to be rather clueless, I did notice that they were sitting there with laptops, both much more modern and expensive than mine." @marlyncabrera

I want coffee

✨"The first time I went to Caffé Piú, I asked if they sold beers, ignorance is daring, but at the same time naive; so that day I left because it was another drink I wanted to taste. But the most curious thing is that I have been passing in front of that café for years, of course, not as many as it has, 21 years in Colinas de Bello Monte, Caracas, Venezuela, attended by its owner Gian Franco Misciagna, and of course it caught my attention, because it looks very nice, but I had never stopped." @monicalandaeta

Coffee, family and a moment to de-stress

✨"When I arrived at the place, I was struck by its beauty and good vibes. I only needed my clothes to start my routine and de-stress. I was surprised because in my city, there are no places like this, where you can only exercise. This place has a nursery area for parents to work out in peace, a cafeteria, a boutique and a large training room. There is also a great spinning room. I thought the place was super cool." @milik80

I am more than happy with my new coffee grinder! Please welcome the EUREKA Mignon Zero!

✨"This model of EUREKA is named Zero, because it was designed to grind coffee with zero retention. This is not completely true, but let’s say… after 3-4 doses of espresso (post cleaning), you can achieve zero retention grinding. This is because there are always some tiny particles which stuck here and there in the grinder and cannot get out easily. But if you tap on the lid with the rubber gasket, you get out a lot of stuck coffee." @mdosev

A Special Visit to the Marqués de Arcos Literary Café

✨"From the moment you arrive, the workers assist you with kindness and fraternity, the offers are not very varied, but very well prepared and appetising. It is fair to say that with the economic situation of the country, it is impossible to find offers at these prices with excellent quality, not that it is cheap, but far from the prices of other places." @osismi

Visiting the coffee shop “la Kbra” and its famous Macchiato coffee ☕💗.

✨"I had the opportunity to choose between many types of coffee and I opted to order a Macchiato, which is a style of Italian coffee that is based on espresso coffee with a small amount of hot frothed milk, which makes the coffee look a little cut and I'm not going to lie it's a little strong on the palate but, if you are a caffeine lover you're going to love it. It was my first time trying this type of coffee ☕ and I must say that I liked it." @lolysacc

The bad thing about speaking out of tune

✨"The coffee, of course, is delicious. So we go back for it again and again, almost every day.
That day was no different. We were reading when suddenly the music stopped. Either because it lost its Bluetooth connection with the phone, or for some other reason I don't know. The point is that the music suddenly stopped, and suddenly this phrase was heard loudly, coming from the table across the patio:
“I told you not to hit me so hard, Mimi, that could leave marks." @abelarte

Coffee Musing | Sunday Date

✨"We went into the bakery. After deliberating a lot, we ordered two Americanos, an orange juice, a pastry and a sweet. All come with some delay. I did not know that Sundays were busy days at La Panetteria. The people suddenly started arriving, and the orders piled on. And the clerks at the counter were running from side to side." @bertrayo

I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO BUY IT AND I AM VERY HAPPY.

✨"If it had been up to me, I would have grabbed that giant package where I appear on the right-hand side, but I had to be realistic and I grabbed the small one of 250 grams, hahahaha, the truth is that it is not very economical, they increased it." @tibilopez

Review of Café Yautana: nuances of love☕

✨"When I uncovered it, its fruity smell enveloped my nostrils, the color of its ground beans is dark brown, I only needed to taste it, so I did it the best way I know how, with my cloth strainer, I put the water to boil, the sufficient amount of ground coffee in my cloth strainer, when the water began to boil, I began to strain, Each cup of hot water that I added, gave off an enveloping aroma, the color of the intense brown liquid, now to taste it, I placed a good portion of freshly brewed coffee in my Blanquita cup, the soft flavor, with bitter and sweet tones, I simply loved it." @neilamarcano
