Welcome to our curation compilation of sensational stories!
Community members around the globe contributed some fantastic original tales this week, centred around the one true elixir of life- coffee! We enjoyed the passion in these posts, and as all good coffee pals do, we wanted to share a cup of them with you!
is centred around creating a virtual coffeehouse environment, which energises its occupants with the digital ambience of coffee creativity. We hope you will adore these posts as much as we did.
If you find inspiration in them, too, why not amplify the love? Sharing our joy through chatting with other authors is the next best thing to buying them a cup of coffee. What a perfect way to thank them for a great read!
✨"It's very true that, to be able to write and write well, what a writer needs is solitude, tranquillity, and a lot of reading. Some add that we must have a source of inspiration or a muse.
All of that is true, but no writer lives alone. We also need to socialise and meet others who share our love of literature.
And coffee ☕." @abelarte
✨"People used to think I bought every tale he told me. I was just fascinated by his skill to come up with the most ludicrous stories about his life. And I guess he wanted someone to listen to all of this. So I let him tell me all the stories. We are not close anymore. And the last time I saw this old friend was during his mother's funeral. Not the best of chances to reconnect. I hope he is doing well." @bertrayo
✨"Thanks to my great friend far away who made sure I could enjoy this delicious coffee with milk, to lift my spirits after something sad happened to me, but in moments like these I raise my eyes to heaven and praise Jehovah and hope that he will continue to embrace me." @crisch23
✨" It does strike me that causality manifests through coffee, causing a lump in my chest that, at one point, I thought was a harbinger of something beautiful, but now it doesn't let me breathe. From the specific cup of coffee I drink, to the timing of everyday events, to numerology—well, it's so many small details..." @roswelborges
✨"There’s something about sipping iced coffee that helps take my worries away. Maybe it's the coolness that instantly refreshes me, or the way each sip slows down my thoughts, even just for a moment. It gives me a mental break like hitting pause in the middle of a busy or overwhelming day. Holding that cold cup in my hand, hearing the clink of ice, and tasting the smooth flavour gives me a sense of comfort and clarity. It’s a simple ritual that helps me reset, refocus, and breathe." @midnightspen
✨"I don't want to sound exaggerated when I say that it is indispensable to consume this elixir every morning, to delight my life with it is a necessary balm. The simple fact of being able to visualise how the coffee beans come into contact with the water at the maximum boiling point and begin in that process to release their rich aroma makes my palate turn to water and my body knows, my body can glimpse the feast of delight that is coming." @sidalim88
✨"She is a faithful coffee lover, and when choosing a gift for her, the first thing I thought of was something that could please her and be useful to her at the same time. Don't think this elementary thought goes through every mind. I'm glad my mind is not so lazy in this regard.
What has been lazy is my bank account, with the low budget I currently have, compared to the expenses that have arisen, I did not allocate much money for my friend Vi's gift." @verdesmeralda
✨"Martiné is one of those cafés that tells you a story. You can tell everything was thoughtfully curated with love. We stayed about 15 minutes without ordering anything, just talking and soaking in the good energy of the place. We ordered cappuccinos — you already know that’s my favourite kind of coffee (the beans are local, of course) — and later a proper Colombian breakfast: arepita, scrambled eggs, and cheese. I also saw they had matcha, chai, plant-based milk lattes, vegan desserts… the menu is designed for travellers and digital nomads looking for a blend of flavour, aesthetics, and good connection." @lunaticanto
✨"Today, my work day was intense, but it did not prevent me from making an afternoon stop to enjoy a good coffee, accompanied by my partner and friend lagoticaderocio. In addition, that moment of delight had a special nuance, because instead of staying in the office, we sat down to drink our delicious liquid with the view of the Malecón of Havana as company.
Today was one of those days that seem like they will never end, because responsibilities and documentation pile up. Nevertheless, I think that after my 3:00 pm cuppa, I felt reenergized." @indipnash91
✨"My girlfriend and I were preparing to travel home to Tabogon, Cebu, and I picked her up at her workplace that morning on my motorcycle. We haven't had breakfast or coffee yet. While driving, I became weary and hungry, so my girlfriend suggested that if we noticed a cafeteria along the way, we stop by. We had no idea where to find a cafeteria until my partner discovered The SeaSalt Cafe. We went to the order area and ordered Iced Cappuccino Coffee and Sizzling Sisig with Rice. We had a delicious breakfast and coffee while enjoying a breathtaking view of Seaside. We enjoyed seeing the sun rise while eating breakfast." @eijnuj06
