When you love coffee...and the holidays are near




I am no expert when it comes to coffee but I do love to enjoy it from time to time,whether while having a good chat with a friend or just by myself,reading or watching a movie.Now,the time of the week when I'm having a coffee has become some kind of relaxing ritual for me,let's not talk about how happy it makes me.I remember I started with a decaf with milk which was not bad,but later I discovered that I really do have a sweet tooth when it comes to coffee as well.This meaning that I do need syrups and a lot ...
of whipped cream on top and now I don't drink any kind of coffee without.What I wanted to underline in the end is that seasonal picks are in at a lot of coffee shops(don't mind me going to Starbucks once a week) and that as we get closer to Christmas(which I have already started to prepare for-kind of late considering I usually start in September-happy times) holiday drinks are coming around as well.
Now let's take a deep breath cause that was a lot to take in.
My all time favorite for all the year around is a White Mocha-yes,that very sweet thing nobody seems to be able to drink-I love it-sweet and tasty.It has white chocolate sauce,steamed milk and of course whipped cream,which I like to get extra,just to make it a little more sweet.It makes me happy just thinking about it.I never get anything iced-I tried frappucinos and iced coffees and I totally dislike them-especially that after a while the ice starts to melt and it simply becomes coffee with a lot,a lot of water-no,thank you.
You know what I'm going to talk about next,considering that we are in the month of October,leaves change colours,autumn is here,chilly weather ,rain,all pumpkin-spice things everywhere-in my tummy as well.I mean Pumpkin Spice Lattes.with Kenya coffee or Guatemala.and extra whipped cream.extra.No more words needed.really.just heaven.
Next come the Christmas specials.Toffee nut lattes and Praline mochas.My favorite is obviously the toffee nut latte,this one I haven't customized in any way-and I can't really remember what syrup they use for it,but anyway it really reminds me of Christmas because it was the first beverage that I liked after that decaf and I tried it just in time for the holidays so this brings back a lot of memories.
With my coffee, I like to get something to munch on from time to time-like a chocolate muffin or cinnamon roll and when I'm felling more "adventurous" I do get a piece of chocolate cake.
To wrap it all up,I love pictures of coffee-I hunt them on tumblr and Pinterest and Instagram.And cute coffee shops are always a good thing.
