Welcome to our curation compilation of sensational stories!

Spine-Tingling Dawn Draft

✨"Happy New Year! And welcome to the first of what, I hope, is 52 new coffee recipes this year. Perhaps fittingly, the first recipe of the year is a rather simple one and includes a roast with twice the caffeine as normal. Yes. Twice the caffeine. This will get your bones moving in the new year!" @wwwiebe

My morning latte with a great company, my mother.☕🤗

✨"I woke up and before making some breakfast, my mother wanted to have a coffee ☕, so I prepared a tasty cappuccino, a coffee with milk for both of us to enjoy in the middle of a chat that always comes up. Childhood memories, past coffees and all that nostalgia and joy that we have left from each experience arise in these magical moments of a simple coffee that make them unique and special moments." @gabyceleste

Coffee, Cake and a Catch Up in Dunelm

✨"We finished off with a cheese scone and Victoria sponge cake. Someone told me afterwards that the owners are quite community-minded and offer their café space for book clubs, new parent clubs, or anything you want. I think it is a really good idea as it can be difficult to find office space at a reasonable price. What better to meet up than where there's coffee and cake!" @ellenripley

New year, new presents. I visited Specialty Place 23 and left with a New Year’s present. I like presents like this!

✨"We had a fine filter with a lot of fruitful vibe in it and also bought a bag of coffee for home. Misho has delivered a new roastery. Its name is Crooked Nose & Coffee Stories and comes from Vilnius, Lithuania. It is the first time to tried a coffee roasted in this European country, so it was an interesting experience for us." @mdosev

A coffee and a beer with a dim light

✨"Sometimes you go to a coffee shop to a work meeting, informal or with several friends and on those occasions you will almost certainly prefer that the predominant light is intense because you are going to have fun and you want to see in the expression of others how they are having a good time." @tonyes

Unlimited Brewed Coffee On The Mountains: Side Trip Lunch at A'yuyang Eatery

✨"The real star of the show, at least for me, was their unlimited brewed coffee. As a coffee lover, I was in heaven. The coffee station is self-service and located in the condiments and water area. I had two cups while waiting for our food, and I was about to get my third when our food arrived. The coffee was rich and aromatic, a perfect companion for the cold weather and the hearty meal." @bloghound

My Christmas gift: Artisan Coffee ☕☕☕

✨"Taking advantage of these dates I went to visit my dad and I left extremely happy because they gave me a gift of the coffee that they grow and process and that I had not tasted for a long time. I could not have had a better gift from my father and father's family than two kilos of their artisan coffee." @mariela-b

Coffee Dicha Valledupar

✨"DICHA VALLEDUPAR coffee comes in a black packaging in contrast with the orange color and coffee silhouettes, an elegant packaging to describe the beans as follows: - Height: 1600 m. - Acidity: Bright. - Notes: Honey, yellow fruits and hazelnuts." @amandaj

The best coffee for me is

✨"I had the good fortune to start working at 19 years of age in a company that is a branch of Chevrolet. Here I began to have a love for coffee and how could it not be that if in the office we spent all day making coffee to offer to customers with some cookies and in that delivery ended up taking some coffee." @rosmiapure

Simply Coffee: I tried something new tonight thanks to TikTok.

✨"Coffee shops are not common around here [Nigeria]. In fact, I think the most coffee people drink here is 3-in-1 Nescafe brand and that is mostly because it is affordable. Other times – most times – families here in the north (middle class and below) go with boiling Lipton tea or Top Tea in a kettle to distribute in their homes." @deraaa
