The Morning Ritual: Celebrating Coffee on International Coffee DAY

That first sip of coffee in the early morning signals the start of a new day, a cherished ritual in my daily life. As soon as I open my eyes, the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee fills the air, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere that gently calls me to begin the day. If you’re like me, you probably can’t imagine starting your day without a cup in hand. For me, it’s a sacred moment. I switch on the coffee maker, trusting its familiar hum to bring me to full wakefulness. Whether it’s a shot of espresso, a brew from a French press, or a drip coffee, each method brings its own unique touch to the coffee’s character. As the beans are ground, the aroma that fills the kitchen reminds me of the deep connection I have with this daily ritual. The morning light filters in through the window, and as my anticipation grows, I wrap my hands around the warm cup, savoring that first, blissful sip.

Every October 1st, we celebrate International Coffee Day, a time to recognize and appreciate the hard work of coffee farmers, producers, and roasters who make our love for coffee possible. These skilled professionals—including sommeliers and baristas—work together to bring out the best qualities in every bean. Whether it’s the bright acidity and fruity notes of Arabica, or the bold intensity of Robusta, each type of coffee has its own unique story. By supporting sustainable and fair-trade practices, we can ensure these workers are fairly compensated, as their dedication is the backbone of our coffee experience.

Today, I invite you to awaken not just your body, but your senses too, by exploring all the ways coffee can be enjoyed. Whether you’re savoring an espresso, a latte, a cappuccino, or an Americano, each cup is a chance to indulge in something special.


So, let’s celebrate by visiting local coffee shops and supporting the businesses that keep these traditions alive, fostering a deeper connection with the people who grow and produce the coffee we enjoy every day. Take a moment to truly savor each sip, turning it into a ritual that not only energizes you but also nourishes your soul.

Beef and Pork Burger

  Spending weekends at home, watching a good movie, is one of my favorite ways to unwind, especially during my period. On those days, the emotional wear can be noticeable, and I often feel fatigued. It’s common to seek something that alleviates that anxiety. While many women turn to ice cream, chocolates, cookies… I do too, but first, a juicy burger! There’s nothing like enjoying a well-prepared burger in those moments. The combination of fat and flavor really makes me feel good and helps ease the anxiety. It has become my comfort food, perfect for those days when food turns into a refuge. This recipe is designed for four people, so while it’s one of my special meals, it’s also ideal for sharing. Ingredients: • For the burger: • 500g ground beef • 500g ground pork • 1 tablespoon ground cumin • 3 cloves garlic, minced • 1 teaspoon salt • 2 tablespoons mustard • 1/2 cup beer • For the toppings: • 4 slices of Dutch cheese • 4 slices of Gouda cheese • 1 large tomato, sliced • 1 onion, ...

HISTORIA DEL CAFÉ

Kaldi y sus cabras locas. . De seguro te levantas a primera hora de la mañana, te diriges a la cocina y colocas de 7 a 21 gramos de café en la cafetera para así obtener tu primera dosis de cafeína matutina, pero te has preguntado alguna vez ¿cómo llegó el café a nuestras vidas? No existen datos concretos que demuestren a ciencia cierta la verdadera procedencia del café pero su historia, tal y como la describe una antigua leyenda, se remonta al siglo XI en las zonas más fértiles d’Abisínia, actual Etiopía, donde también se sitúa el origen del árbol del café. Dice la leyenda, narrada y en ocasiones transfigurada, pero preservando siempre su esencia, que el descubridor fue un pastor de cabras llamado Kaldi. El pastor, sorprendido por la actitud fuertemente estimulada de sus cabras cuando pasturaban por las colinas, acabó por descubrir que la causa de la agitación de su ganado se debía al consumo de unos pequeños frutos rojizos de unos arbustos cercanos. Intrigado, los pr...

Si eres de las personas que les encanta viajar pero que no pueden vivir sin café, ya no tendrás que empacar la estufa, mucho menos prender leña, pues ha llegado la Bripe. Una pipa de café que te permite preparar tu bebida en cualquier lugar que te encuentres, ya sea remando en el río, de excursión en el campo o simplemente tomando el sol en la playa, ya que este dispositivo es portátil y muy, pero muy ligero. Capaz de preparar una taza de café en menos de tres minutos,la Bripe está hecha de cobre puro e incluye una base de enfriamiento y un núcleo interno para una elaboración más rápida. Además tiene un filtro de acero inoxidable diseñado para todo tipo de moliendas de café. ¿Cómo funciona?
