The cafรฉ isnโt frightfully busy. It is just busy enough that there is a soft hum of conversation around me that mixes with the faint sound of music. The smell of coffee is the dominant note in the air and it is welcoming. There is no sense of urgency in this environment: sit, sip, and… Continue reading I miss coffee dates at the coffee shop

At the end of February, to start my virtual coffee post I began describing where Iโm having my coffee or favourite places that I have had my coffee. So, today the soft cushions of the sofa await me.

Feet up on the dashboard with my butt nestled into the passengerโs seat. The sun is low in the sky with the promise of a warm sunny day. The radio can just be heard over the sound of the tires on the pavement and the wind outside my window. The smell of strong coffee, truck… Continue reading Another favourite place to drink my coffee

Dear cup of coffeeโฆ
This morning I say: Hello Chestnut Prailine Latte. You are the perfect blend of sweet nuttiness. You flow over my taste buds smooth and creamy. You fade out with hints of maple, or maybe brown sugar, and a pronounced roasted nut flavour. Thank you, coffee.

Shadows and steam: Coffee 7๏ฟผ
The house sits dark around me this morning. I make my coffee by candle light as I try to preserve these few stolen moments for myself. I creep across the room, coffee in hand, to sit on my sofa.

Pie Flavoured Coffee Series: Coffee 6๏ฟผ
I hover over the Keurig maker this morning watching the liquid stream out and make small sputtering and splashing sounds. The stream looks almost frothy as it flows into my waiting cup. The smell of sweet coconut drifts off the liquid in my cup. The liquid itself is a reddish hue around the edges of… Continue reading Pie Flavoured Coffee Series: Coffee 6๏ฟผ

Pie Flavoured Coffee Series: Coffee 5๏ฟผ
The dominant smell is apple. It is almost a green apple smell with a sugary overlay. The taste is reminiscent of caramel and it leaves a lingering candied aftertaste. The temperature is just right and each sip of my apple crisp macchiato slides down smooth. If we were having coffee, I would share with you… Continue reading Pie Flavoured Coffee Series: Coffee 5๏ฟผ
