One Shot of Espresso in The Morning - Morning Coffee Is Not About Romanticism But About Pragmatism

There is a legend for coffee connoisseurs in Indonesia and perhaps in this world. We often hear, every great figure in this world has a connection with a cup of coffee and a coffee shop. All stories are almost the same, the point is when a cup of coffee gives ideas and inspiration to do something. In addition, I also believe, a cup of coffee can unite people.

In the past, people came together and met in coffee shops with thoughts and ideas. Currently, at Hive Blockchain, we are united through the Cinnamon Cup Coffee Community with various quality coffee content from around the world. Every week, there are also interesting challenges that we can take part in. Like this time, this Community through the Coffee Conversation segment NO: 2, invites us to think and write about “how do you feel after drinking your first coffee in the morning”

Coffee and I are inseparable. Since my first coffee taste when I was eight years old. This black drink has always accompanied my life until I was an adult like now. If I try to count, every day always drink 3-4 cups of coffee throughout the day. Am I bored? no really, I enjoy every cup of coffee in every moment, especially a cup of coffee in the morning.

The first coffee on this cloudy Sunday morning, made me try to enjoy every moment that happens in this life and the Double Shoot espresso this morning stimulated my mind to move to find a solution.

I don't know what happened to me. My first coffee this Sunday morning was a double shot of espresso which I drank at a coffee shop near my house. In fact, I have a lot of coffee stock in my house but why should I go to the coffee shop this Sunday morning? I am a pragmatic person. When I saw the ad on my Instagram timeline, about the IDR 8K (0.55 USD) promo for every cup of espresso at the coffee shop at 8-10 am. I immediately took out my motorcycle and headed there.

The coffee I drink every morning is never the same every day. It depends on my mood, my laziness, and my stock of coffee beans. However, espresso is the coffee I enjoy the most. Maybe, if a week there are seven mornings, there are three mornings I drink espresso as the coffee I choose. However, these few days have been drinking espresso in a row.

Espresso is the most bitter coffee dish and not just anyone chooses this coffee to start the morning. But, if you want one sip of a drink that will wake you up, energized and full of inspiration. Maybe, you can taste the coffee I drank this morning. I experienced this, it's been three days I need extra enthusiasm to start activities and work and this has helped me a lot. Because of that, I'm a little sure the revolutionaries drank this bitter espresso to become brilliant.

I've heard a popular quote about coffee "Your Coffee Describes Who You Are". when you prefer a cup of black coffee without sugar and milk, then your personality character will be tougher, firmer and principled. If you prefer coffee and sugar, it is said that you are more flexible with circumstances. However, I don't think it applies to me.

I don't have a favorite coffee variant, I like all forms of coffee. The important thing is that the coffee is still fresh, well processed and also comes from farmers, not instant coffee. So that quote doesn't apply to me. An overview of how I feel about my coffee this morning. Maybe, can explain how pragmatic I am.

Choosing espresso for the morning, may be suitable to describe the circumstances of my life as a grown man who is bitter and full of problems. This bitter espresso is also drunk only one gulp (one shot) without having to taste the bitterness for too long. Like the life we experience too, we should not be too long to grieve and complain because it will pass if we are wise to go through it.

Hello @isdarmady
Nice input on this #CoffeeConversation.
I like your analogy especially the last paragraph about the bitterness of espresso being had in one gulp just like how we should see challenges in life.
🙌

Coffee is an absolute blessing for me.

hello @millycf1976 thank you for stopping by
I also hope to get creative ideas too to be able to participate in the spillthebeans contest.

Yup, that seems to be the right analogy. Some people who try espresso for the first time only focus on the bitter taste and don't think about how it tastes. It seems that when humans are faced with problems, many can only complain without being able to go through it or take lessons from them.

Have a good start this week with a cup of coffee and a burning spirit.

I would gladly enjoy having my morning coffee in a coffee shop, but my responsibilities around the children almost make this impossible. It’s more likely that I and my wife will find some time in the afternoon to visit such a place. However, one day the time will come and I will be able to enjoy my first coffee in a different place than home 😁

I can feel it, I think in a few months I will also not be able to go to the coffee shop in the morning to get my first coffee, because I am also expecting my baby.

I think, if you go on vacation outside the house with your family, of course you will get a different coffee feel and it can make people become more intimate moments.

This is not applicable to me in terms of personality lol! Sometimes I drink coffee other than black too.

Coffee at 8 years old? You really started young :)

hello @leeart thank you for stopping by
it seems we are the same, can't be described with a cup of coffee because we can enjoy any kind of coffee. ha ha

yup, I still remember every afternoon I stole a sip or two of sweet coffee from my grandfather. Of course, at that moment I only drank it because it was sweet, not because of the quality of the coffee.

Hi there @isdarmady, 😃 just like you, I don't have a favorite coffee variant. I can drink mine black with or without sugar and milk. It all depends on my mood.

A shot of espresso is a strong drink this Sunday morning. It will certainly energise you. 😃 I hope you enjoyed it. Nice post.

That's right, people like us choose coffee based on our feelings and mood that day.

I agree, our coffee shows our personality a little bit.
I love the place you sat to enjoy your coffee, must be a sanity.

That theory may have some truth to it, especially when the coffee you drink is the same and consistent. I have a few friends that I can describe from the cup of coffee he drinks.

this place is really cool. I love coming to this coffee shop.
