I think this has been the week in which I have visited the most coffee shops; I have to admit that they have been busy days due to work, in which I have hardly been able to prepare my usual coffee at home. However, I took advantage of my stay in the city to enjoy my free time in the company of my favorite drink. Although I prefer to drink coffee at home, it is undeniable to say that leaving the comfort zone is also necessary. Doing something different helps to revitalize the body from time to time.
For this occasion, I share with you my three favorite moments drinking coffee from the week that ends today, and which I enjoyed very much.
A latte for breakfast
The week started with an unexpected breakfast outside the house. I visited a small cafe and took the opportunity to order a latte; I combined it with a ham and cheese bread, something light actually, before returning to my work. The morning was rainy and cold, as well as a bit hectic. I tried to ignore the hustle and bustle of the cafe and calmly enjoy my latte. It was delicious. I don't usually have breakfast at the same time as I drink my first cup of coffee, but this time I had no choice but to try. The bread, on the other hand, was very warm, I think even warmer than the latte. I waited a bit and then tasted it. The combination, in my opinion, was good.
A latte can help you start the day on the right foot. At least for me, it helped a lot; anything with coffee makes the difference between my good and bad mood (馃槅).
Cold coffee for the heat
Although this year started with somewhat cold temperatures, the tropical weather is already reminding me that much of this year will be hot. And in fact, this week was very hot. Since I usually go to the gym in the mornings, after I finish my workout, the heat and thirst hit me hard. Coffee is one of the drinks that helps me the most to have enough energy, so I invited my brother to drink cold coffee to regain my spirits and get home without being tired. I visited a small coffee shop, which is the only one that serves cold coffee in this part of the city. There are not many options to visit in the small town where I live.
The service was pleasant and luckily there was no noise and my brother and I were the only customers. I like to relax drinking my coffee in silence; and so it was. We managed to cool off a lot.
American coffee at sunset
The week ended with an American coffee; I admit that I'm not used to drinking it a lot, but I needed a light coffee before returning home. This time I drank it outside, as the atmosphere was pleasant and the afternoon, which was just ending, was very cool. They gave me a cookie as a courtesy, which was delicious. I was visiting Like Coffee again, but this time I stayed at the tables outside the place. Even though there were a lot of people, everything could be perceived as very quiet. I think that all of us who were there wanted to relax and have a good time with some coffee.
That afternoon was very special, even more so because I liked my American coffee... they rarely know how to prepare it (馃槄).
Coffee and more coffee. My days are filled with this drink and there is nothing better than enjoying coffee in situations that are not so planned, but just as wonderful. Where will I go next? I don't know, but as long as there is coffee, nothing can go wrong. That is what truly gives meaning to life.

Creo que esta ha sido la semana en la que m谩s cafeter铆as he visitado; he de admitir que han sido d铆as movidos por trabajo, en los que casi no he podido preparar mi acostumbrado caf茅 en casa. No obstante, aprovech茅 mi estad铆a en la ciudad para disfrutar de los ratos libres en compa帽铆a de la que es mi bebida predilecta. A pesar de que me gusta m谩s beber caf茅 en mi hogar, es innegable decir que salir de las zonas de confort tambi茅n es necesario. Hacer algo diferente ayuda a revitalizar el cuerpo de vez en cuando.
Para esta ocasi贸n, te comparto mis tres momentos favoritos bebiendo caf茅 de la semana que hoy culmina, y que disfrut茅 mucho.
Un late para desayunar
La semana inici贸 con un desayuno imprevisto fuera de casa. Visit茅 una cafeter铆a peque帽a y aprovech茅 la ocasi贸n para pedir un late; lo combin茅 con un pan de jam贸n y queso, algo ligero en realidad, antes de volver a mis labores. La ma帽ana estaba lluviosa y fr铆a, adem谩s de un poco alborotada. Intent茅 obviar el ajetreo en el que se encontraba la cafeter铆a y disfrutar en calma mi late. Estaba delicioso. No suelo desayunar al mismo tiempo que bebo mi primera taza de caf茅, pero esta vez no me qued贸 otra opci贸n que intentarlo. El pan, por otra parte, estaba muy caliente, incluso creo que m谩s caliente que el late. Esper茅 un poco y luego lo degust茅. La combinaci贸n, a mi parecer, estuvo buena.
Un late puede ayudarte a iniciar con buen pie el d铆a. Al menos a m铆, me ayud贸 much铆simo; cualquier cosa con caf茅 hace la diferencia entre mi buen y mal humor (馃槅).
Caf茅 fr铆o para el calor
Aunque este a帽o inici贸 con temperaturas un poco fr铆as, ya el clima tropical est谩 record谩ndome que gran parte de este a帽o ser谩 caluroso. Y en realidad, as铆 fue esta semana: muy calurosa. Como suelo ir al gym en las ma帽anas, despu茅s que termino mi entrenamiento, el calor y la sed me golpean con fuerza. El caf茅 es una de las bebidas que m谩s me ayuda a tener energ铆as suficientes, as铆 que invit茅 a mi hermano a beber caf茅 fr铆o para recuperar 谩nimos y llegar sin cansancio a casa. Visit茅 una cafeter铆a peque帽a, la cual es la 煤nica que sirve caf茅 fr铆o en esta parte de la ciudad. No hay muchas opciones para visitar en el peque帽o poblado donde vivo.
La atenci贸n fue agradable y por suerte no hab铆a ruido y mi hermano y yo 茅ramos los 煤nicos clientes. Me gusta relajarme bebiendo mi caf茅 en silencio; y as铆 fue. Logramos refrescarnos mucho.
Caf茅 americano en el atardecer
La semana termin贸 con un caf茅 americano; admito que no estoy acostumbrado a beberlo mucho, pero necesitaba un caf茅 ligero antes de regresar a casa. Esta vez lo beb铆 al aire libre, pues el ambiente estaba agradable y la tarde, que ya acababa, era muy fresca. De cortes铆a me dieron una galletita, la cual estaba deliciosa. Volv铆a visitar Like Coffee, pero esta ocasi贸n me qued茅 en las mesas del exterior del local. A pesar de que hab铆a muchas personas, todo pod铆a percibirse muy tranquilo. Creo que todos los que ah铆 est谩bamos quer铆amos relajarnos y pasarla bien con algo de caf茅.
Esa tarde fue muy especial, a煤n m谩s porque mi caf茅 americano me gust贸... pocas veces saben como prepararlo (馃槄).
Caf茅 y m谩s caf茅. Mis d铆as est谩n llenos de esta bebida y no hay nada mejor que disfrutar del caf茅 en situaciones no tan planeadas, pero igual de maravillosas. 驴A d贸nde ir茅 ahora? No lo s茅, pero mientras haya caf茅, nada puede salir mal. Eso es lo que verdaderamente le da sentido a la vida.
