Apple Crisp Oat Macchiato time
The smell is a sugar fragrance mixed with sweet fresh apple. It’s in the after taste that the flavour is prominent. I would describe it as a green apple after taste that fades out to spices: cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. The initial sip is smooth and creamy, but not overly distinctive. It is pale creamy… Continue reading Apple Crisp Oat Macchiato time

Mug: Especially Popular
Do you have a favourite coffee mug that you drink your coffee in? I can’t say that I have just one favourite, but I can say that I have a coffee cup pattern.

Coffee Statement & Coffee Question
If we were having coffee, I would start our conversation with a statement and a question. Since I started participating in the weekend coffee share in 2016, I have tried to start my share with a coffee or coffee related description. I have exhausted my coffee flavours. Do you have a coffee challenge idea that… Continue reading Coffee Statement & Coffee Question

Do you ever eat your coffee?
The rich brown coating is glossy and smooth. The faint bitter notes of dark chocolate with hints of coffee surround each fat oval shaped bean. The chocolate coating is soft, and the taste mirrors the bittersweet smell. But as I bite down the crunch in the center is a nice surprise. As the crunch grinds… Continue reading Do you ever eat your coffee?

Hushed notes of a breaking day
For those of you who have shared weekend coffee with me for any period of time, I’m sure you’d say, “Well, she likes to start her morning with coffee.” I would respond, “True, my friend.” However, what is my favourite thing to accompany that morning coffee? Reading and/or writing, of course. What’s better than the… Continue reading Hushed notes of a breaking day

To sip or to wait—that is the question.
The steam streams up from the deep brown java in my mug. I watch with thoughts of the pleasure that the first sip will create. But I note the heat and wonder, do I wait or sip now? I know the level of heat rising from my coffee will scald my lips and tongue, then… Continue reading To sip or to wait—that is the question.

Ice Caramel Macchiato
There is an interesting separation of liquids in my iced coffee. The off-white hue of the milk has sneaking trails of light brown framing it and forcing a path through it. This milk and coffee mixture looks soft and silky. A slightly darker shade of brown splotches the sides of the cup and coats the… Continue reading Ice Caramel Macchiato
