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. I plan to wedge myself into the corner comfortably with my legs pulled up. Over top of… Continue reading Another coffee drinking location to mark as my favourite

Another favourite place to drink my coffee
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

Associated coffee cup memories
Where would I like to be drinking my coffee today? One of my favourite coffee drinking locations was my grandmotherโs cottage. It was those early morning coffees from my 20โs. The sun would be shining bright with the promise of a great day and the world around me would be quiet and still. I would… Continue reading Associated coffee cup memories

How our coffee starts
Since I joined the coffee blog back in April of 2016, I have typically started my virtual coffee with some kind of description. Usually, I talk about my coffee. I think that for the next couple of weeks I am going to try talking about where I am having my coffee or favourite places that… Continue reading How our coffee starts

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. The only thing that could be better in this moment… Continue reading Dear cup of coffeeโฆ

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. I set my coffee on the coffee table close to the candle and settle myself on… Continue reading Shadows and steam: Coffee 7๏ฟผ

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

Pie Flavoured Coffee Series: Coffee 4๏ฟผ
Is a cobbler a branch on the pie-family tree? Shoulder shrug. For the purpose of my Pie Flavoured Coffee Series I am including this fruity dessert here. The exotic smell of blueberry fills the kitchen. Its sweet and fruity odour is the dominant sniff in this coffee. There is no sweetness in the flavour. It… Continue reading Pie Flavoured Coffee Series: Coffee 4๏ฟผ

Pie Flavoured Coffee Series: Coffee 3๏ฟผ
The powerful smell of nutmeg is the star scent in my mug this morning. It is sweet and earthy smelling. There is no hint of sweetness in the sip instead it is both warm and earthy in flavour. Yet it is a spicy sip that if savoured can be described as a wash of fall… Continue reading Pie Flavoured Coffee Series: Coffee 3๏ฟผ
