Coffee for Breakfast
✨"You could say that today marks the beginning of the end of a cycle, and to face these last days of the year, it is important to wake up and enjoy a good breakfast, one of those that comes with a great aroma, an incredible flavor, and that warmth so typical of Venezuelan coffee, where we will always find a touch of sweetness, fruity notes, and the energy of ancestral experiences and indelible memories." 
December starts with coffee
✨"I enjoyed that morning coffee alone, since my mom was making breakfast, so every sip was special. As I watched the sunrise and each of the flowers on the plant, since those were the two things that struck me that morning, it helped me understand that this month not only marks an end, but also the beginning of many great things. So I enjoyed those minutes in the morning and at the same time that little pause of holding my hot coffee cup to take these photos and feel that life, sometimes, can also be like coffee: hot or cold." 
More than coffee: When espresso meets Hogwarts–
✨"Even before you enter, the place immerses you in a story, and that magical smell of coffee also draws you in. The good thing is that the menu has variety, from hot drinks, desserts, light meals, and cold drinks, which is what I went for; I ordered a cold coffee, and I loved it." 
A Holiday Spot With Classic Coffee Shop
✨"It's run by a husband and wife. It's a perfect holiday spot. The name of this cafe in Indonesian means At your grandmother's place. It fits the atmosphere of the coffee shop, I think, reminding visitors of a cool, beautiful grandmother's house." 
The coffee roasting process
✨"First of all, I won't add brown sugar. This trick is used to give the coffee a slightly more bitter flavour, especially if you have a coffee shop where you sell drip coffee. With less sugar, you can get more liquid, making your investment go further. For personal consumption, it's not necessary unless you like that extra bitterness." 
A Combo of Coffee and Chips in the Pub!
✨"We settled on chips and peas and chips and gravy. I think the waitress was slightly miffed we weren't having anything more expensive, judging by the disappointed look on her face. Even though it is a nice, friendly pub, the food is a little bit more expensive than I would have liked. The coffee was good, though." 
A coffee in search of light
✨"This place has its own magic. The design is a real treat for any antique dealer. The antique pieces, the diverse colours that subtly connect elements evoking different countries, are complemented by the magnificence of other items displayed for all to see." 
A farewell coffee
✨"I remember the day before I left for Spain. I sat alone in a cafe and took in everything so I would never forget it.
I knew that would be the last time I would have that coffee in the company of my friends and acquaintances." 
A GOOD HOT CHOCOLATE
✨"They offered me hot chocolate in a mug, a disposable cup, or a waffle cone-shaped cup. I would never have considered the latter, so I took a chance and ordered it. They served me hot chocolate the way it should be: thick, creamy, and with real chocolate flavour. Several times I've gone out for hot chocolate and been served a watery, almost tasteless drink, which I assume is because they use more cocoa powder than other ingredients. This one wasn't too sweet or bland; it was delicious." 
@bertrayo/coffee-musings-or-kept-awake-by-caffeine
✨"I was teaching some kids and ladies in the afternoon and was in dire need of energy. We went to the kiosk called Dulce Tentación. I like the sweets from that spot, and coffee is usually okay. We had a dose of strong coffee to get ready for the rest of the afternoon."
