I found a coffee that suits me well ☕️❣️

✨"The coffee I'm talking about is called "Venita", it claims to be made with 100% Venezuelan beans and Italian roasted, it comes in small capsules that go inside an interesting coffee machine designed especially for the use of these capsules and currently has 16 flavours of which I have been able to try chocolate with mint, chocolate with hazelnut and intense chocolate, all of them are divine." @valeriavalentina

The Pinkest Shop I've ever seen! Cafe y Deli Review

✨"The first thing that caught my attention was the PINK of this place, and as pink is my favourite colour, I couldn't help myself even though I didn't go out to spend money haha the vintage style decoration made me fall in love, we chose a table at the entrance of the cafe and as you can see the furniture was in pink tones very much in line with the rest of the place." @anvivas1

Coffee vs Tea

✨"We were able to enjoy the culmination of the event in a satisfactory way and once again confirmed one of the great benefits that the elixir of the gods has as it is to encourage us in the days of full exhaustion. Although the tea is very good, I continue to bet on a rich and delicious cup of coffee with a good taste." @sidalim88

Pulping machine

✨"The pulper is a machine that is used to remove the husk from the coffee cherry. The first ones were manual, but over the years the invention has evolved and nowadays they are motor-driven. The majority of these machines come with four frontal holes called jets through which the beans come out after the pulping process." @rinconpoetico7

Do you know freeze-dried coffee? I show it to you

✨"After trying several brands and types of coffees, I found the freeze-dried coffee of the local brand "Altomayo". This is an instant and low-cost coffee that perfectly meets the characteristics of a coffee that can be consumed daily. One of the changes that I went through, for better or for worse, is that I never again consumed filtered coffee in the traditional way or from a coffee pot, of course, I am referring to the coffee that I consume at home when I go out to the street I take the opportunity to taste different types and of higher quality." @dinaaczib

Coffee and Roots: Discovering a Treasure Trove of Latin Flavors on the Coast" 🇻🇪🥹☕✍️

✨"I found several types of coffees that will be the essence of my daily preparations, bringing with them the diversity and richness of the Latin flavours that I miss so much. Each cup will now be a sensory journey that celebrates the connection between my roots and my current home on the coast." @ninamarcano

Hot Homemade Coconut Milk Latte. A recipe for the soul (lactose-free, vegan)

✨"My body began to reject cow's milk. At first, it was no big deal, but then it got worse...Eventually, a few years ago, I discovered that I simply loved homemade plant kinds of milk; I learned to make several types, of which cashew, almond and coconut kinds of milk are my big favourites. Rice, oat and peanut kinds of milk are better just for cocoa, but not for my coffee." @marlyncabrera

How a coffee enlightened me to get a good gift right

✨"As I was taking the last sip of coffee as if the caffeine was awakening all my senses, it occurred to me to visit the souvenir and candy store in the service area to find something that would be shocking to my cousin." @castri-ja

The Louvre Cafe where history, culture and tradition merge in a cup of coffee.

✨"Café el Louvre is an emblematic place located in the Hotel Inglaterra, the oldest hotel in Havana, Cuba. Since its inauguration in 1875, it quickly became one of the most popular destinations for tourists and members of high society visiting Havana. Its elegant architecture and privileged location in front of the Central Park made it an icon of the city." @osismi

Café enigma, a place with many secrets

✨"They are specific with prices, as this has been a problem lately in my city as to know the price of something you have to ask the private person and many times they are slow to respond.
The barista let me know that if I wanted to add extra chocolate syrup to my Mocaccino I could ask for it, it wasn't on the menu but that it was a secret service for chocolate lovers. My eyes lit up and obviously I asked for the extra." @chacald.dcymt
