and was immediately convinced that I should participate. Coffee has always been an indispensable part of my life, not only because of its strong and addictive flavor but also because of what it represents for me.
Coffee is the beverage obtained from the roasted and ground beans of the fruits of the coffee plant (coffee tree); It is highly stimulating due to its content of caffeine, a psychoactive substance. This product is one of the most commercialized and one of the three most consumed beverages in the world (along with water and tea).

You see, my opinion is that coffee, more than a delicious drink, is a social phenomenon, it unites friends and families in a happy gathering to talk placidly while you enjoy your cup of coffee, however you prefer to drink it, stronger and bitter, or softer and sweeter. However, it is something that we enjoy much more when we are surrounded by people we love.
This means coffee to me, feeling its aroma immediately takes me back to that moment when I take a break from everything and sit in my living room with my family to enjoy it, to tell us about our day, how it went in work, or wether there was a long line to buy bread in the store đ after coffee we continue with our daily tasks, but coffee hours are sacred.
I don't know about you, but traditionally in my house up to 4 coffee pots are made a day đ€Ż a somewhat exorbitant amount if we take into account the current price of coffee in my country, both in stores and Cuban made, but we can't miss it. We make the first coffee pot early in the morning when we wake up, the second one in the middle of the morning almost every day, because we receive a visit from a neighbor who is dear to us and so we "turn on the coffee pot" đ Sometimes, we make coffee again when I arrive home after lunch, tired after a concert or a rehearsal â and finally the five o'clock coffee, the one that, together with the first one in the morning, is inviolable.
We drink it neither too strong nor soft, I prefer it with a little more sugar, my grandmother takes it more bitter and very hot. We don't care if it's "La Llave" or "Bustelo" coffee, or even if it's "Cubita" or "Turquino"; we settle for the coffee from the bodega, that infamous "Hola", even when mixed with Cuban-made coffee, toasted and mixed with peas đ a very Cuban variant but equally intoxicating.
Just as I am writing this post, I'm telling my mom how I enjoy the aroma more than the taste of the coffee itself, precisely because the aroma triggers in my brain the alert that this brief and precious moment of family gathering is approaching

Escuché de este concurso anoche, cuando fui tagueada por

Verån, mi opinión es que el café, mås que una deliciosa bebida, es un fenómeno social, une amistades y familias en una feliz tertulia para conversar plåcidamente mientras disfrutas tu taza de café, como sea que prefieras tomarla, mås fuerte y amargo, o mås suave y dulzón. Como sea es algo que disfrutamos mucho mås cuando estamos rodeados de personas a las que amamos.
Esto significa el cafĂ© para mĂ, sentir su aroma inmediatamente me traslada a ese momento en el que me tomo un descanso de todo y me siento en la sala de mi casa con mi familia a disfrutarlo, a contarnos sobre nuestro dĂa, cĂłmo nos fue en el trabajo, si cuando fuimos a la bodega habĂa cola para comprar el pan đ despuĂ©s del cafĂ© seguimos en nuestras tareas diarias, pero el horario del cafĂ© es sagrado.
No sĂ© en su caso, pero tradicionalmente en mi casa se hacen hasta 4 cafeteras al dĂa đ€Ż una cifra un tanto desorbitada si tenemos en cuenta el precio actual del cafĂ©, tanto el de las tiendas como el criollo, pero no nos puede faltar. Colamos temprano en la mañana al despertar, a mitad de mañana casi siempre, porque recibimos la visita de una vecina querida para nosotros y pues "pon la cafetera" đ A veces tambiĂ©n cuando llego despuĂ©s del mediodĂa cansada despuĂ©s de un concierto o un ensayo, nuevamente â y finalmente el cafĂ© de las 5, ese que, junto al primero de la mañana son inviolables.
Lo tomamos ni muy fuerte, ni suave, yo lo prefiero con un poco mĂĄs de azĂșcar, mi abuela lo toma mĂĄs amargo y bien caliente. No nos preocupa que sea cafĂ© "La llave" o cafĂ© "Bustelo" ni siquiera que sea "Cubita" o "Turquino" nos conformamos con el cafĂ© de la bodega, ese "Hola" infame, incluso cuando se mezcla con el cafĂ© criollo, tostado y mezclado con chĂcharo đ una variante muy cubana pero igualmente embriagadora.
Justo mientras escribo este post, le cuento a mi mamĂĄ cĂłmo disfruto mĂĄs el aroma que el sabor del cafĂ© en sĂ, precisamente porque el aroma dispara en mi cerebro la alerta de que se aproxima este breve y precioso momento de tertulia familiar.
