Follow my Coffee Moments throughout the Day

Personal Journey

There’s something magical about the different coffee moments that I experience throughout the day. Each one offers a unique experience with his own function. Let me take you on a journey through my typical coffee-filled day, starting from the moment I wake up.

Start of the Day with an Espresso

There’s nothing quite like the brisk embrace of an espresso to kickstart my morning. Especially now in the summer time as the sun peeks over the horizon, the smell of that perfect shot of espresso. The intense aroma fills the kitchen, even before the first sip. It’s a moment of pure energy, that prepares me to face the day with a big smile on my face.

Tip: For the best espresso, invest in a quality espresso machine and don’t forget to preheat your cup to keep your espresso warm longer.

After Breakfast Cappuccino with Oat Milk

Once breakfast is over, it’s time for a cappuccino with oat milk. The creamy texture of oat milk complements the robust flavor of the coffee, creating a harmonious blend that’s both satisfying and comforting. I love to add my collagen powder with this cup. It’s my mid-morning treat, a moment to pause before starting the day with work related tasks.

Tip: To achieve the perfect froth with oat milk, use a frother. I personally use the Nespresso Aeroccino, it is perfect for hot or cold froth. Barista-quality oat milk brands often froth better and have a more neutral taste that doesn’t overpower the coffee.

Iced Coffee on a Hot Summer Day

When the afternoon sun blazes high, an iced coffee becomes my refreshing drink. There’s something about the chilled coffee hitting your taste buds, a mix of caffeine and cool relief. Whether I’m taking a break from work or just need a cool drink to start my next meeting, this icy beverage is my go-to summer delight.

Tip: Brew your coffee strong for iced coffee to avoid dilution when the ice melts. Cold brew is an excellent choice, providing a smooth, less acidic taste that’s perfect for hot days. I love to finish the recipe with some caramel sirop of Monin.

Espresso Martini as a Dessert

As the day winds down (especially to celebrate the start of the weekend), I love to indulge in an Espresso Martini. This cocktail is the perfect blend of sophistication and relaxation, a delightful way to end the day on a high note, and so easy to make at home. The rich coffee flavor combined with the smoothness of vodka and the sweetness of coffee liqueur makes for a decadent dessert drink.

Tip: To make an excellent Espresso Martini, use freshly brewed espresso, quality vodka, and a coffee liqueur like Kahlúa. Shake it well with ice to get that beautiful frothy top.

I’ve learned that throughout the day there are many recipes you can experiment with when it comes to coffee. From an espresso to start the day with to a luxurious end with an Espresso Martini, these moments are more than just about drinking coffee—they’re about enjoying these little moments and stand still. By incorporating these coffee rituals into your day, you can create your own special moments and enjoy the rich flavors of coffee in diverse, delightful ways. Happy sipping!
