There's no place like home
For years now, I've been using every moment to walk around the city and drink coffee, hot chocolate or beer in one of my favorite cafes...
I don't need any reason for that. I can go out for coffee with friends, but also alone. If I had to give a reason to go to the café, the most common would be this: "It's a nice and sunny day, let's go for coffee" 😀
I often published pictures of those cups of coffee, Espresso, Mocha coffee, Latte coffee, Macchiato coffee, black domestic coffee, as well as pictures of the places where I drank them...
But this Saturday, I decided not to go out to cafes.
Surely you remember the magical sentence from the title of this post, spoken by Dorothy when she was about to return home in the Wizard of Oz fairy tale.
Dorothy is absolutely right.
It's nice (sometimes) to enjoy good coffee in your own home.
We got this little coffee wizard Dolce Gusto a long time ago.
We experimented with the choice of coffee, bought various combinations of cartridges for short, extended or coffee with milk...
And somehow we found uor favorite selection.
Cappuccino or Caffe Latte when we want coffee with milk, and Espresso intenso when we want a short coffee...
Yes, it's nice to go to a cafe or restaurant on a good occasion, when we meet friends, celebrate birthdays, various anniversaries.
But sometimes it's also very pleasant when you drink coffee in your own home, in the company of your life partner, with a TV program or a movie, music or with a book...
And before drinking coffee, there is a choice of coffee that you drink at that moment and the preparation of the same.
We made coffee, and then we watched a movie (Elvis from 2022 for which we've been looking for free time for a long time, since it lasts over two and a half hours). After watching the movie, everyone picked up book and read a few sheets :-)
A real enjoyment on Saturday afternoon.
@galenkp I'm sorry I missed the topic for this week's story, I hope I won't be punished for saying how I enjoyed it at home today instead of enjoying myself in a café :-)
Why this is perfect, with the right tools and good coffee at home then you are all set. I want to experience this way of making a coffee. I don't really visit a cafe, I mean never, but I want to try to once in a while but I also want this kind, like yours.
It has happened to me many times that in the cafe where I order coffee for the first time, I get coffee that is not tasty. Or that in the cafe where I drink coffee all the time, I get coffee with a different taste.
The reason, as the waiters say, is either the coffee supplier has changed or the grinding method has changed. In any case, the taste is different.
This coffee from the Dolce Gusto cartridge always tastes the same.
There is still one cafe where Moka coffee has been the same taste for 15 years. Now I remembered that I had not been in that cafe for a long time. I'm going today, so one day I'll write something more about the same :-)
