Last weekend’s baking outcome: It was served to me in a tiny cup with a saucer. It was painful when I was told not to drink it all because I usually drink way more than a sip. The experience watching this cup of coffee being prepared and made up for the small size of the… Continue reading What’s in the Coffee Grinds?
If we were having coffee at the beginning of October I would invite you to ponder ghosts walking among tombstones. October seems fitting for a brief discussion of cemeteries. The above image was photographed in 2018 when my family and I did the Dawson City Cemeteries Walking Tour. It is a historic site. I love… Continue reading Coffee Where Ghosts Walk
El sol está brillante hoy pero está frió (the sun is shining but it is cold). Fall is in its full throes. It is too easy these fall days for a chill to creep into the bones. The season welcomes warm sweaters, jeans and somedays a nice scarf or a knit hat. Promises of frost… Continue reading Coffee in the throes of fall
If we were having coffee I would invite you to brew up a new fall flavour of coffee. Pumpkin spice lattes are a fall favourite of mine but what else could we add to the fall coffee menu? Apple crisp latte? Something with a slight apple tartness and cream on top garnished with cinnamon crumble??… Continue reading Fall Coffee Flavours
The smell of baked apples, cinnamon and sweet sugar is heavy in the air. Warmth from the oven is comforting on this chilly fall morning. I can’t help but anticipate that hot hazelnut coffee this morning with a sprinkle of cinnamon in it. The hazelnut coffee on its own would pair nicely with the apple… Continue reading Delicious Fall Coffees
Can I get you a hot espresso pouted over condensed milk and served with ice? It is a refreshing and sweet drink for a day at the end of August.

It’s bold creamy and sweet. The rich Brazilian coffee beans have been brewed perfectly and added to a vanilla flavoured cream to create a coffee lover’s dream. It is cold and smooth on the tongue. With a thoughtful wink over my coffee cup I hold up a scoop of that delicious coffee flavoured ice cream… Continue reading Coffee with a scoop
The sun is shining and the birds are making their soft bird song. The neighbourhood is silent around me; it is too early in the morning for much activity. These are the kinds of mornings that I love. The patio table and chairs are very inviting this morning as I savour the warm coffee in… Continue reading Coffee Outdoors
Some people won’t drink a hot coffee on a hot summer day. I am not one of those people. A hot coffee works for me any day: the rich smell, the bitter taste and a little bit of heat. How about you? If we were having coffee I would ask you if prefer iced or… Continue reading Coffee and Summer Heat
The plastic cup in my hand is already sweating. The ice clinks refreshingly as I swirl it around not only to enjoy the sound but to see the movement of the soft brown liquid. I know that first taste will be a milky expresso flavour with hints of vanilla and cold surprise pops of sweet… Continue reading Celebrate summer with iced coffee
