I’ve started drinking proper strong coffee since the age of 21. And it has usually been associated with various forms of ‘getting up’ and ‘gearing up’. I need to be charged up for that critical university exam, the work day, and the hangover day. And with that understanding, a relaxing Sunday would require me to relax and not consume coffee – the very drink I associated with ‘getting moving’.

That’s until I got into speciality coffee. You see, it’s more than just caffeine and its associated effects. The taste of coffee, the ritual involved in preparing the cup. This morning, 10 September 2023, on a Sunday, I found preparing that special expresso with my own blend, equally relaxing. I guess it’s not work if there is joy and satisfaction in the process. And the 150 miligrams of caffeine..yeah, that’s happiness too 🙂
