RE: Contest | 25-Word Comment - Monkey Business | Coffee Time
Coffee time?
There's a day in my life that I spent a whole day for a coffee time and I really had 7-10 cups of coffee! I moved from one coffee shop to another every 3 hours to meet different person, communities/organizations. When I was young, I used to see --Tea Break-- in the list of agenda of a meeting or event. But later, it was replaced to --Coffee break--. For us, Acehnese or Indonesian, making an appointment to meet at a coffee shop also mean coffee time.
What happens during the coffee time? if it's in an event, it means smoking time and having a cup of coffee with some cakes then a chit chat with other participants, sometimes it's a continuation of unfinished discussion, sometimes it's a chance to joke around and exchanging news too.
Coffee time, it's a way to get to know new contacts and to arrange another time to have a cup of coffee outside. "ngopi yok" or let's have a cup of coffee is a common invitation we heard amongs close or not so close friends. After I got married, I purchased coffeemaker and spent my afternoon with hubby having a cup of coffee each (different beans source) as a way to enjoy our quality time. But sometimes, I will ask him to take me out to meet my friend who stopping by at our city and of course it happens at a coffee shop.
Taking coffee with friends is a good idea but no to smoking . It will hurt you later. But I saw a lot of women smoke and drink coffee and even liquors. I just love coffee this year 2024, it helped me to keep myself awake. Just like last night , we had party in the house of my boss brother, I drank a cup of coffee before going there. Without that cup of coffee, I could not stay with the party.
You smoke?
I understand why those you meet drink 1 cups because you do the talking but why do you drink that much?
It's here for sure the same at offices and meetings and the hair dresser offers coffee or tea but I never visit one way too expensive and drinking tea served in a coffee cup is disgusting.
With us many make coffee at home. It's way cheaper than going out and have some drink served you don't like. There's no choice in beans just in how it is prepared.
Thanks for sharing your cup of
teacoffee.Could you sleep after all those cups?

😁 it's not a cup of coffee like you have at home. I'm kinda of person who loves to improvise my own coffee taste. I would have a sibgle or double shots espresso, then asking for a lemon or coconut water, I'll mix them together.. just like a bartender🤭.
To tell you the truth, in my hometown, you will recognize people who order one cup of coffee and sit at the same place from 8 am to 6pm before he ordered another cup😁. I need 2 cups or more depending on what topic I discussed with people I have an appointment with.
Can I sleep? Sometimes, no matter how pure and strong the coffee i drink, I'll fall asleep as soon as I touch my bed. But many times, after a cup of coffee milk or cappuccino, I can't sleep for 36-48 hours. So, it's not about the caffeine issue for me.
We're close to the coffee plantation and many friends also owner of the Cafe abd coffee plantation, so.. fresh coffee is available at the coffee shop, besides what we seek in coffee time is actually information, the vibes and the fun being with the circle.
A place named coffee time in Medan, North Sumatra, where's no visitors in the morning, all coffees served in a plastic/paper cup (take away style), I spend 3 hours here waiting for the time to flight back to Jakarta with my hubby. We have an argument a day ago and we came to an agreement after a cup of coffee 😁
I don't have coffee at home, although we have instant and coffee beans (my son) which we use for tiramisu and the beans covered by chocolate are great too (it doesn't come with a smell).
People make all sorts of coffee at home and there are hundreds of coffee machines espresso, capicino, you name it. If I would drink coffee I will go to @ibesso since he's making it the old fashioned way and that's how I like it (and Italy and him which also helps to swallow it and keep my nose closed thought he'll be fine if I drink ginger tea or rooibos and he drinks the coffee and I keep hem company - I watch there's nothing to speak).
The photo you show looks great. What is lemonade Madness? I believe the Chocolate antibody is worth a try. I don't like red velvet although I once tried a cake and it wasn't as bad as thought but it's more about chemicals than natural ingredients.
I'm not a coconut fan although I like the coconut cookies (sticky) which you rarely see those days (like most of the food and drinks we had during my childhood).
It sounds that the coffee doesn't really affect you and the fact you can't sleep has to do with something else.
The place (back to the photo) reminds me of something I saw in Malom in Hungary. It looks inviting enough.
Thanks for sharing, coffee in plastic of paper covered with plastic is dangerous for the health. will they serve if you bring along your own cup? Plastic and paper also changes the taste but I guess a coffee adict won't notice it just like an alcoholic will drink straight out of the bottle or wine out of plastic bottle or cheap tetra pack.
The best time is to go is also in the morning if no one is around. 😁
P.s. an argument in public... what did you add to his coffee?
🤦 He wanted me to pay for a kilogram of good coffee beans, but i proposed to purchase half of it because we couldn't afford it. But the way i told him was bad and he's mad at me. We have to shorten our stay at my hometown because of that😓
Lemon madness 😅 it's not safe for those who intolerant to acids. Lemon juice, lime juice, sprite/sodas, ice and mint leaves also lemon slices.
I'll add sprite to my coffee sometime, but without pepper.. it doesn't taste good for me
I only heard of a German (elderly) friend adding lemon to her coffee she said because of the flue but hated the taste. We don'tadd sprite or whatever to coffee only sugar, whipped cream, some chocolate, haselnuts, milk, whipped milk, creamer or whipped cream (or allo. Aaaah, I forgot to mention the alcohol. It's added to it or served next to it. I guess for the cold winter days to stay warm and if it doesn't help it's just alcohol.
In the old days they even gave it to babies to keep them silent and let sleep them over night (sugar was added to it).
People have acid allergies? It's not good for the teeth and stomach.
P.s. sorry you had to leave earlier but your husband should be old enough to understand that you can't buy what you cannot afford and 0.5 kilo is better than nothing and one won't die if drinking one cup less or a smaller one.
Oohh... I forget to tell you that once I was known as a source information about how to get "cannabis coffees" in town🫣😆 cannabis is forbidden in our country, but my hometown also famous for our squirrel tails cannabis products.
A late friend was selling this kind of coffee grounds. He got the cannabis to mix with the coffee from a contact in military. I used to buy this kind of coffee for gift and never had it for myself 😅 so I dunno how it tastes.
All I know, everyone who had it will ask for more😄. After my friend passed away in 2020, I have no other source to get the cannabis/ganja coffee.
I like my coffee mixed with lemon, with nutmegs, cinnamon, ginger, pepper, star Anise, cardamom, fermented sugar palm's sap or Kupi ie jok. And most famous one amongst the old males coffee lover is "kupi nyen", coffee mixed with half ripped areca palm's fruit (they say it's work better than Viagra 🤦) crazy good marketing 😁
I know where to get the fermented coffee whatever they say cold-brew thingy something (I know they add real beer or wine in it😉) while many people won't talk about it publicly. Because it's forbidden too.
Whoooaa.. I can talk about coffee time forever😄😅 who ask me to have time to spend with so many people unexpectedly during coffee time?
Oohh.. you don't know that having a good coffee beans/ground from my hometown is a luxury for us. So he got too excited and I was harshly shouting at him in front of the seller 😓 I didn't tell him that we have a budget limitation for coffee before. It's all in the past. Coffee time is a perfect time to start a fire and building peace too.
🍀♥️
El café es una bebida deliciosa y difícil de rechazar, pero siente tazas de café es mucho. Pero en su caso fue algo diferente, el tiempo y el momento hicieron que la disfrutará.
Exactly 🤗 but it's all in the past🤭 I'd prefer fruit juice now
Pasti disan juga lahir banyak gosip yang terbaru dan terlama.
Minum kopi bersama sangat asyik, bisa menghabiskan waktu berjam-jam
Banyak hal bisa terjadi di atas meja kedai kopi, dari sekedar membahas berita koran sampai menyusun program. Saya ingat betul bagaimana saya mendapat cerita tentang rumah-rumah yang diberi tanda silang merah oleh tentara di Gampong Meureue, Indrapuri adalah dari hasil saya bersosialisasi di warkop. Meski orang-orang heran melihat perempuan datang sendiri dan langsung pesan kopi pancong.
Tidak ada yang mendekat bertanya kecuali pemilik warung. Tetapi begitu saya mengeluarkan roti sele samahani dan samsu lalu saya peutaba pada yg lain (ada 3-5 laki2 dewasa, dan saya yakin 1 diantaranya adalah intel 😁) mereka yg menatap curiga, pelan2 mulai banyak cerita.
Itu adalah salah satu momen coffee time yang tidak akan terlupa.
pengalaman dan cerita yang terus dikenang sepanjang masa, beginilah warung kopi tempat yang lengkap di penuhi oleh berbagai kalangan, bisa dijadikan sebagai rumah, bisa juga sebagai kantor.
modalnya cuma rokok, semua bisa mendekati kita sebagai teman untuk berbicara.
Ngopi yok.. jangan main steemit mulu!
