Coffee

Writing about my addiction (I am probably drinking a cup while you are reading this)

👓 💬 This is what I say to my barista | My personal orders for the last socially acceptable drug in excess

I find a person drinks coffee for a reason. It could be for taste, for form or for function. Personally, I drink it for function. Hence, my choice of coffee has three forms and functionalities (feel free to try any and all).

Regular Coffee with 2 milk/cream (The Double-Double without the second double)

This is the go to order. Straight coffee with a bit of dairy to tolerate the harshness of the coffee. Every coffee place has it ready to go. Choose your favourite coffee bean and roast at your favourite coffee shop (or any shop).

☕

This is the coffee you pick and go. The No Fuss. You had a decent nights sleep but still need that mandatory caffeine fix.

Americano

Let us step it up a notch. An Americano has a VERY strong base of espresso. To be exact its 2 shots of espresso then hot water immediately to create a creme layer on top. Remember to add dairy, because it’s strong (if you are the type to take it straight consider yourself a caf-fiend).

☕

This is the one you take because you have slept 5 hours finishing an essay or meeting a work deadline.

Blackeye/Regular Coffee with 2 shots of espresso

After having this you are not sleeping for a day. This is the coffee you need to fight in a war. All jokes aside. Keep this drink handy for times of dire need. It’s an absurd amount of caffeine. Ask for your regular coffee order and then the excess shots of espresso.

☕

This is the one where you haven’t actually seen your bed for a few days because you were studying/working. Or you argued with your significant other for the entire night. Or you partied all night till 5am. Or all of the above.
