Coffee Restrictions - On A Ration by thisismylife@thisismylife

✨Do you think coffee is a valid expense to add to your budget? Click the story to find out some changes our author made to her coffee budget.


The numbers
As I saw money flying out too much to my liking, I decided to get the numbers straight and count how much we spent on coffee exactly last month. This is solely the cups for coffee at home because we never go out for coffee unless we have lunch somewhere or breakfast, but I will not count that 1 cup in this calculation as it's a rare occasion.


Cebu's Hottest New Cafe with a View - Seargao Seaview Cafe by junebride@junebride

✨As the coffee industry booms in the Philippines, here's a review of a newly opened cafe in the resort town of Siargao.


Here's an unexpected visit to a trending cafe in the southern part of Cebu province - Seargao. "Unexpected" as my husband and I were driving on our way to Cebu City from Oslob and we had no plans of stopping over but, I received a message from my client of an urgent task and we had to pull over and look for a spot with a good internet connection.


The Perfect Café At Last! by jhymi@jhymi

✨Our author discovers a unique local coffee shop in her hometown in Nigeria and shares some lovely photos.


I was kind of sceptical when I saw the bar behind the counter. I desperately wanted the café to be my ideal coffee shop so I didn’t need anything, like the fact that it was also some sort of bar to compromise that. However, I fixed a smile on my face, sat down and asked to see their menu.


Zasso Coffee Shop - beautiful cafe with Japanese architecture by cr7trinhha@cr7trinhha

✨Our author shares a Japanese-style coffee shop by a pond with some gorgeous photos showcasing its interior.


The coffee shop is designed in Japanese style, including grey tiled roofs and white pillars. The shop uses many different types of wood to create a cosy atmosphere. In the middle of the shop is a Koi fish pond and there are many rocks, decorations, and miniatures to make the pond more lively.


A sweet home coffee ☕️🍃 by montaine23@montaine23

✨Our author enjoys a lovely cup of coffee in nature on a cool day.


Yesterday, it was very cold, so I decided to accompany my moment outside the house with a hot cup of coffee, but not the kind of coffee that you are used to buy in coffee shops, but that coffee with a homemade taste, the one you know that was prepared at home without any kind of coffee and that has one of the purest sensations of coffee while enjoying a little bit of the view.

Perspectives with a Cup by ayane-chan@ayane-chan

✨Our author shares a thoughtful post as she sits and contemplates the role coffee plays in her life.


It is my escape every time I feel like that it's only me against the world. When life gives me lemons, and I don't know how to make a lemonade. Why make a lemonade when I can make a cup of coffee and sit it out in a serene place? If the world don't want me in my thoughts, I'll be alone for a while to straighten my perspectives and contemplate deeply as I drink my coffee in silence.


In a day; I tried drinking 4 different coffee variants by justbabybee@justbabybee

✨Our author takes us on a coffee-exploration as he tries different methods of preparation.


I am a pure coffee drinker who can drink 5–6 glasses of coffee a day. I can only enjoy truly pure coffee without mixing it with anything. However, my curiosity became too great regarding the various blends presented by various well-known coffee outlets. Sometimes I try new variants served by bartenders at coffee shops, but I prefer it if they can convince me to try it.
