Seems like ages since I last blogged on here, well time has certainly flown while I've been hard at work on the 2012 collection of bathroom furniture designs (sneak previews to come soon!).
As we all know, bathroom and interior design are my main passions in life, but another one close to my heart is coffee, the little beans that pick us up in the morning and comforts us when we're down. Having come across this post on Money Saving Expert I knew I simply had to enter and give it a shot, so here goes..
This is my entry for the Casa Espresso coffee lover competition.
Why I love Coffee.
Effect on the Senses: I love the smell of it brewing, I love the feel of holding a nice warm cup of coffee in both hands on a winters morning, I love the creamy taste and the fuzzy feeling I get when drinking it, I love the way it looks and the art that can be skillfully created on top and the sound of hearing that mine is ready. Coffee really does play with all my senses.
Latte Art: We live in good times right now, because the art and skill of the Barista is growing immensely, even in Scotland. With both in the amount of people who practice it, and the level of effort that goes into a making our Latte's look good it surely adds to the likeability of this brilliant beverage.
Starbucks: Those who know me will know I hate most big global corporate powerhouses, but in all fairness to Starbucks they do put a lot of time and money into making us aware of Fairtrade coffee and how it improves lives around the world. OK, so it won't be their biggest selling range of coffee, but fair play all the same promoting it on a very large scale.
The Passion: I see folks that own their own restaurant, I know folks that run their own butchers and bakery's, but none of these share the same passion for the product they're selling than those involved with their own coffee shop. I like passion, passion is good for all concerned in the business world and there's certainly a lot of passion throughout the coffee industry.
The broad range of flavours: With so much variety in flavours and the huge amount of different roasts and blends available you could literally enjoy tasting a new coffee every day of your life. Although this is largely impossible for most people the fact that it conceivably could happen adds to the fantastic nature of the wonder bean. Variety is the spice of life after all!
