Coffee, Café Culture, Culture, Chat, & Conversation...

Actually, I should have said that I enjoyed Honduran coffee, prepared in my moka pot (served with hot milk), but accompanied by a treat purchased this morning from the French bakery, classic pain aux raisins.

Ah... the full confession emerges. 🥳
 
And this morning, breakfast comprised freshly squeezed orange juice, Ethiopian coffee, (Hario dripper and filter paper), hot milk (organic, full fat, the rest of the carton, hence, I must replenish my supply of organic milk), and a dash (generous dessertspoon or two) of organic double cream.

Plus the second of the pair of pain aux raisins I bought yesterday.

Very pleasant.
 
I'm not sure of my Keurig is worthy of this thread but we use it religiously, I use a green mountain dark roast but my wife loves it for tea as well.
 
And, having (almost, almost, almost - quelle horreur) run out of coffee earlier this week, I have ordered yet more coffee (a well regarded coffee from El Salvador and a strongly recommended single origin estate coffee from Costa Rica).

Hey... there is nothing wrong with a Keurig. Hot, easy and everyone can have what they like (which sounds a lot like Linda from back in college. She was great). I have also gotten into tea a bit. When I would visit Taiwan, we would do the traditional tea thing. It takes them forever to brew the perfect cup. Is it worth it? Ah, no... just use a teabag like the rest of the world, geez. I've got things to do. It's fun though and a great way to connect with people.

The thing I enjoy about tea is the tradition that surrounds it. I spent two years in Taiwan and loved the preparation and service. I also learned to strain tea through my teeth.

How did you like Taiwan by the way? I travel there for work. Used to be there quite often until covid clipped my wings. Do you also think that the Taipei skyline looks like it's giving China the finger? :ROFLMAO:

I loved Taiwan. I’ve always wanted to go back, even though it has changed a lot since I was there (early 70’s). But it’s not the cities I want to revisit. It’s Sun Moon Lake and Toroko Gorge. Everything was so beautiful.

And yes, definitely giving PROC the finger!
 
Enjoyed a blend (of my own devising) of coffees from central America: El Salvador, Honduras and Costa Rica, served with organic, full fat, hot milk.

I hadn't expected to enjoy my central American coffees (especially the fun I am having experimenting with different blends) quite as much as I am.

vietnamese ice coffee. with condensed milk. @Phu Cat airport outside cafe. waiting for flight to SGN. Oct 11, 2019.
 
Thoroughly enjoying experimenting with - and blending - coffees that are outside my more usual coffee comfort zone, which lies in east Africa.

Anyway, tis morning's coffee comprised a blend of three coffees from central America, coffees from El Salvador, Costa Rica, and Honduras, plus organic, full fat, hot milk.
