A cappuccino to pass the blackout

✨"Does coffee relieve you in stressful situations?

It's like a therapy: I can't do without coffee or some of its derivatives. In these times of anger in my country, the best thing I can do to relax is to drink coffee in my garden, sighing while looking at my tulips. You don't know how much that helps me... after all, drinking coffee is like swimming in gold: you never feel bad for doing it." @soldierofdreams

May Christmas Bring Ceramic Mugs

✨"I usually drink my coffee at home, but you might see me going out for coffee with a friend once or twice a month. It's different when Christmas is coming; during the holiday season, coffee attracts me like a magnet..." @marlyncabrera

Coffee at the Tearooms ..... but what's with the gorilla??

✨"We ordered a black americano, cappuccinos with frothy milk, a rich espresso combo, and a concoction of white pear and ginger, a posh tea. Unfortunately, we were disappointed to find that the cappuccino was only lukewarm. The café staff kindly took back the drinks and returned with piping hot cappuccinos, so all ended well." @ellenripley

Tulum: Restaurant, Coffee & Bar - Barquisimeto

✨"Tulum is one of the most exotic places in the city of Barquisimeto. It is located in the financial area of the city and stands out for having an attractive concept. Coincidentally, I thought it was a place only to enjoy a good meal; however, in this place, they have an area dedicated to enjoying a good coffee on the second floor (actually, it would be floor one, since the previous floor would be floor 0)." @neruel

A delicious latte after lunch

✨"After lunch, it was time to sing a birthday song and cut the cake, before tasting it, instead of drinking soda it provoked both my friend and me, to accompany it with a cup of coffee. Immediately my husband got up and went to check the stores that are in the food fair to look for my cup of coffee, so he showed up with a rich vanilla latte that was divine, it was also creamy, hot and aromatic." @morepina

The Coffee Corner at the Comodoro Hotel in Havana

✨"Although there was no plaque or sign to prove it, the tonality of the works and their similarity to other paintings made using the coffee technique led us to conclude that this was an artistic exhibition dedicated to paying tribute to our favourite beverage: coffee." @osismi

Coffee with an anniversary flavor-30 years

✨"We have a coffee maker but we always make it the traditional way: boil the water, add the coffee powder, let it sit for a few minutes and then strain it with a sleeve as it is done in the countryside. That is the way my mother used to make it all my life, it is more than a tradition, it is a way of life." @gpache

Green Tea Latte 🌱 🍵 : Let's go make some drinks. (fragrant, delicious, and healthy.)

✨"I'm here with a special drink that I rarely make because it takes time and a meticulous method to make. This time, I'm free and I want to drink another favourite drink that I often order at cafes in Thailand, which is a green tea latte. I have to say that this drink is very delicious, fragrant, and creamy. It's time to make it. Before we look at how to make it, let's get to know green tea first.

A Good Coffee and a Good Reading

✨"It was a cloudy afternoon and what is a cloudy afternoon of reading but a perfect moment for an American coffee? So, I decided to prepare one and also an avocado easy toast (just with a little bit of cheese and avocado season with black pepper). Yes, I know, avocado toast is more than a snack, it is a breakfast thing. However, I love breakfast food andI'm pretty convincede it fits perfectly in every hour of the day (I hopemore people are thinkingg exactly as I do)." @generp

Airport Coffee

✨"The cup designs weren't bad either: the first Christmas design I saw in this city so far. I kind of missed when cafes did this. For some reason, in Tbilisi it isn't a prevalent concept. At least for now, it might change with December coming." @maars
