Biscuits!!I've been messing around with baking and finding the best recipes for the last 6 to 7 years. There have been a few recipes that I've kept for the long haul, they just seem to be (almost) flop proof and are super tasty.
Unfortunately this recipe does not cater for any dietary requirements. I'll try some in the future that are healthier alternatives and when I find one that sticks, I'll let you all know.
I've included a section at the end about biscuits as gifts too - because, well who in their right mind doesn't enjoy receiving home baked biscuits right? @andrastia
"Bamenda is from the Coffee Cooperative Boyo from the
North-West of Cameroon. A Fair-Trade product.
It is a 100% Arabica-bean and has
a special aroma of walnuts & chocolate, so yummy, especially freshly ground. This is my little hand mill with a ceramic grinder. To avoid the contact with plastic of the freshly ground Bamenda i "catch" the coffee with a glass." @luca1777
It's generally recommended to descale your coffee machine once a month, more frequently if you live in an area with hard water.The area I live in the water hardness is like 440mg of dissolved solids so extremely hard, this is why we use bottled water with only 60mg of dissolved solids for our coffee machine and kettle, Much less scale and also makes better drinks." @shmoogleosukami
Today we will drink latte. Who doesn't love lattes? And if we add great chocolate to the bottom and some Baileys ... I think we're in Heaven." @life.cruiser
In this case, I am with my 87-year-old paternal grandmother, a woman and a reference in my life, since she raised me since I can remember and who underwent surgery 1 week ago for an intestinal tumor. After spending a week in the hospital, she has recovered well and we are all very happy." @simolestomequedo
"FROM THE PAST until now, one of the things that accompanies the life of the Acehnese is coffee. Drinking coffee is a necessity and this applies to almost all Acehnese. This can be proven by the fact that almost all villages throughout Aceh have at least two coffee shops, and this number will be many times over if you visit the sub-district city, as well as the district city. Meanwhile in the provincial city, Banda Aceh, there are countless coffee shops, which are all of them almost never empty of customers." @bookrak
But before arriving home in the middle of the journey in the dark of night, under the drizzle that still wets the empty streets, I planned to enjoy a cup of coffee with him.
I think, this is the right time for a cup of warmth for the body, coffee will be very delicious if you drink it after the rain. " @afridany1
5 years ago, in early 2016 there was the murder of the tumultuous Indonesia, namely the murder of a beautiful woman named Wayan Mirna Salihin (we call Mirna)." @aswita
I would say yes. This one is highly recommended because again, various sources mentioned that Brazilian Santos is the highest quality of coffee than just the “Brazilian Coffee”. Other than than, the taste is great if you like something earthy, smoky or caramel coffee. As for the price, it varies between one place to another but it’s still relatively cheaper and in the mid-range price. There are better brands than Excelso and if you can get the fresh beans of Brazilian Santos, I would recommend getting that instead of the powdered ones, always."@macchiata
I'll give you one fact, that although coffee is an agricultural commodity that is very widely planted in Indonesia, the coffee plant is not native in Indonesia. Coffee and Indonesia concerning the history of colonialism in the past. Indonesia (at that time java island and around) in the century 17-19 has not become a sovereign country and is still divided into several small kingdoms." @isdarmady
"Today I want to share with you an excellent combination for a perfect breakfast and it is a tasty coffee without sugar accompanied by a rich paledonia, and I decided to call this post a coffee to fall in love, and who would not like to surprise that being we love with this rich courtship, adorned with beautiful white flowers." @loboblanco
The filling is agar-agar. I made agar-agar using sugar creamer coffee powder drink. Agar-agar is often made using ingredients such as syrup, Milo, margarine, and others. Well, I used coffee😋." @faisalhanafih
I saw this beautiful pumpkin sweet that my api made a few years ago and it's still here but it's delicious I try not to see too much otherwise I've already eaten it all.
Coffee is a delta as it could not but be very aromatic and fragrant that fills our soul.
Then the bread is loaf bread without a crust, well spread with this delicious recipe that I'm going to teach you." @ricestrela
the lady who cleans us at work had this generous attitude of treating us with this sweet to top it off with biscuit cake with coffee cream and then eating at the same time you drink a nice Delta brand coffee until the afternoon it was different it soon had another flavor." @ricestrela
"There is something about the cooling weather in Autumn that makes me appreciate my hot cup of coffee even more. A cold front blew through this week and cleared away the hot thick days. I hadn't realized what a stark difference that would make until I walked out in my red tank top and shorts to quickly realize I was underdressed. A fresh cool breeze greeted me and my cup of coffee. It was both refreshing, surprising, and most welcome." @shinyobjects
This is one fact about me that has never changed since I first enjoyed a cup of coffee. One reason is because I got used to taking photos of my brewed coffee first before consuming it. So by the time I’m ready to take a sip, it’s already at room temperature.
Since I have saved a few good photos in the past weeks, I might as well share them with you. I have noticed your appreciation on my previous flat-lay coffee shots telling me that they’re really artistic and unique. So for this blog, I am going to share some other decent shots that you may find inspiration from. @nikkabomb
But this morning I want to order something a little different than usual, namely hot green tea, this green tea comes from the Camellia sinensis plant, actually this is one of the natural drinks used by the Japanese and our Chinese brothers for medicine for centuries." @khaidir
"How do you see a coffee business opportunity, open a coffee shop, does it have to be in the city?
These days, many places are used as places to enjoy coffee in the city, while in tourist locations we rarely find real coffee, or filter coffee or some kind of espresso, and other black coffees. They only sell practical sachet coffee, and in my opinion sachet coffee is unsatisfactory and not suitable for seeking inspiration." @afridany1

"Flair - Classic Espresso Maker: completely manual, lever espresso press is capable of brewing between 6-9 BAR pressure and I've been using this manual espresso machine since last year. I have done various ways to make a cup of coffee, from preheating the chamber, pressing the lever gradually, to the method suggested in the manual, but the method in the video above is the method that in my opinion is the easiest and does not reduce the taste of the coffee beans." @navre

"Do you have a favorite drink while writing?
I really like coffee, especially if you add ice. For me, coffee is the drink of a million people, not only when writing but in any situation.
Iced coffee is the best friend in increasing stamina and also keeping you awake. Sometimes writing becomes very difficult when we are tired or sleepy. Coffee is the solution because it's the caffeine that keeps us fresh when the body starts asking for a break, but that doesn't mean you forget your sleeping hours or even forget that your body also needs rest." @tinaagustina
