Day 20 - Coffee

I got inspired by the "30 day not-so ordinary ordinary items challenge" but as I love giving things a personal twist, I decided to change the format a bit for myself so it suits me better. I've adjusted it to the 30 pictures - 30 stories challenge. But some days you will see that I also use not-so ordinary ordinary objects.

Feel free to join the challenge at any time if you like.

Publish one picture a day during 30 days and write a story about that picture. This can be anything, any object in the home, a person, scenery or a pet. I'm going to share a diversity of pictures and challenge myself to step outside of the box.

You may have read before that I value my coffee a lot. I'm very picky in terms of the right coffee. It has to be a strong coffee for me. Not that I always drink the strongest coffee but it can't be not strong coffee as I rather throw that away after one sip.

We bought a L'or Espresso machine when we moved in here and from day one I actually have a few favorites, of which one is the one that I stick to constantly now. It's actually because it remains the best option to my opinion as well as we both love drinking this one. We had this huge box of coffee cups gifted with the machine and we tried a lot of them. Some were ok, others were not our thing at all.

Then we started ordering 1 or 2 new flavors every time we ordered coffee cups to make sure we'd try them all and not miss out on any better flavors because it was easy to stick to the same one, but not guaranteed that this was actually our number 1 choice unless we had tried them all. I yet have to try quite a few today, but I truly won't order any of them if they aren't at least 7, preferably even 8 in strength. Our go to is still "Sontuoso" and I yet have to find a better option after all these boxes we consumed by now, lol.

The great thing about this favorite is that it's actually one of the few cups that you can buy at every selling point so we rarely bump into stock problems and this also means we can tag along with the deals on the L'or espresso website as well as the weekly groceries who recently had the 4x3 offer. I bought 12 packs at once whenever I see these deals.

I now drink the coffee with completa coffee creamer, but I also love it with frothed milk as shown in the image above. Too bad that we had to send back our milk frother from Lidl and now have one from L'or Espresso which doesn't actually delivers frothed milk as good as the Lidl one. Funny thing is with the nespresso cups it's the other way around, I don't like those from Lidl while I love the L'or cups. Oh well, luxury problems, right?

What's your favorite coffee and how do you drink it?
