So my quest for the perfect Macchiato is so so so hard when you don't have the right equipment and skill:  

My lust for learning drives me to madness. I look at my counter and see shinny stainless steel. I smell the sent of fresh roasted coffee, and my boldness once again wells up inside of me.  The internet, with all its vast knowledge drives me to continue on my journey, But battle after battle my mind grows tired and doubtful.

She said: "I think you mean cold brew… Continue

Today I was delivered my Coffee from Square Mile from the UK. I was sooo pumped to try it! I must say that the label and description is perfect! 

 

I'm really interested to see how this Santa Lucia compares to Madcap's Santa Lucia. 

 

Madcap = amazing Gr, MI coffee bar. Check it

Currently I'm studying abroad in Spain. I've gotten used to stovetop espresso since that's all they have. I have some Santa Lucia, Naranjo on it's way from Square Mile from the UK. Unfortunately, my V60 cracked during the flights, but luckily it still works. I also desperately need to buy some new filters.

Mocha is a truly yummy coffee drink that I normally associate with cold winters. Nevertheless, there are many iced mocha… Continue
