Coffee to hang out and chat with my sister
✨"Besides offering delicious breads, they also offer fast food such as Broaster chicken, pizzas, hamburgers, falafels, among others, and as in every bakery they also offer coffee, which was ideal for my sister and me, because that day we needed to make time, since we had to wait for my dad to buy a water filter." @yeceniacarolina
ECM Espresso Machine
✨"One thing that slightly annoys me about this new machine is that the portafilter doesn't line up straight, though it's supposed to. Online, it says that this can be common among new machines and will go away in time, essentially after the machine expands and contracts a little when heated and cooled. It could also be that the gasket in the grouphead is slightly too big or the basket in the Portafilter is sitting too high. Overall, I think that it's a minor issue that I'm hoping will resolve itself over time, or I figure it out myself." @leaky20
My First Time Tasting Coffee with Moringa
✨"It's been a regular day - same routine as a full-time mom and housewife. I took my daughter to her school in the morning for the last day of the school year 2024-2025. Way back home, I passed by my sister-in-law's sari-sari store, and something caught my eye. She is hanging a coffee, and, interestingly, it has moringa in it- commonly known as malunggay in the Philippines. " @toniagurl27
A nice afternoon coffee Mayito style
✨"He put it on the fire and in the meantime he looked for the ingredients to add chocolate, cinnamon and sugar, took small portions that he placed in his little metal jug, poured into it the first drops of coffee that were falling into the pot." @osismi
My Best Time Choice
✨"It was a bit cloudy, and then it drizzled briefly. But after the drizzle, the atmosphere became more serene, and the coffee shop area became more beautiful and peaceful. I could also see a thin, distant mist behind the dense pines. Isn't it things like this that make me love going to a nature coffee shop?" @titisnariyah
Training and Coffee
✨"This place is not a cafeteria as such. It is a place to eat and drink beer. The menu includes grilled and fried chicken, Chinese rice, soup, and salad, among others. As the establishment opens very early in the morning, they offer coffee and pastries for breakfast.
They have included white and red wine in the alcoholic beverages group. They have also changed the design of the place, and right next to it, they set up an ice cream parlour, but they sell cakes and cocktails. This combination is a bit strange, ha, ha, ha, but that's the way it is." @belkisa758
Coffe and Friendships
✨"I am from here, and I live here, I had not taken the time to visit this place in advance and I planned to take her to one of the branches of Migas, but we ended up here in CHELLO and what a great opportunity for me, because I was going to try a different coffee and to have the experience of comparing the taste with the other business.
This place is quite spacious, with a very cool, calm and pleasant atmosphere and has a good view of the avenue." @rosmiapure
A Caramel Latte, a Pause, and a Charming Spot in Vigo ☕🌿
✨"I ordered a tasty caramel latte with cream - because I had already had a regular coffee at home - and looked for a small table where I could sit quietly, take some pictures and simply observe. I like coming here, and although I usually do it accompanied, today I'm alone. But not in a bad way. There is something special about enjoying a moment with yourself, unhurried, with coffee in hand and your mind a little lighter. (I took this picture with my cell phone resting on the napkin holder)." @mballesteros
Coffee Snobbery on a Budget: Meet My New Gadget
✨"I wasn’t expecting much when my friend handed me a cylindrical black device when she decided to come down to India for a Vacation. “This one’s for you,” she said with a grin, like she knew a secret I didn’t. I looked at it and it was just sleek, matte, and delightfully cryptic. No brand name, no flashy logo. Just clean lines and a subtle promise of caffeine." @bighungrypanda
Coffee Musings | A Dragged Victory
✨"The place was empty. I bet the popularity of the place has since declined, having some other options that are also near. We had some coffee with milk and some biscuits. The coffee was ok. Nothing to be crazy. The biscuit was a little bit stale. The berries and almonds in the dough masked a bit of this flavour. And even when it wasn't the most pleasant experience, it felt like it was the one needed after having to wait so long for that thing with the payment. The decoration of the place is nice. I wonder why it was so empty. Maybe it had to do with the hour." @bertrayo
Tradition ✨☕
✨"What I wanted to tell you is that my sister is going through the same path. I was surprised the first time that, while we were walking with our mother, she got up the courage to try a cup of coffee with condensed milk (or café bonbon, as we used to call it). Since then, every so often, she asks me to take her with me." @claudiocruz
Dinner time with friends and coffee
✨"Dinner is a special time of day, a space where flavours, laughter, and conversation intertwine. For me, the best time to enjoy dinner and share a drink, whether it's a refreshing soda or a comforting cup of coffee, is around 7 p.m. This time has become a sacred ritual for me and my choir friends, a moment we look forward to after each rehearsal. I think we rehearse more for these moments than for the rehearsal itself." @drahmed
