My son Bay is really into coffee, and he picked up this limited edition bag of beans. I am waiting for him to open it so I can grab a cup or two of pour-over. The design on the bag is pretty cool, right?
I spent an hour at the café catching up on my blog today. I was planning to go to a coffee shop, but Mariko suggested I try La Madeleineis, a cozy French bistro. What a great idea! I ordered a coffee and was so tempted by all the delicious-looking savory pastries, but I managed to resist this time. Next time, I might not be so strong!
I’m trying to cut back to just one cup of caffeinated coffee each day, so I make a pot of decaf to get me through the workday. I think it tastes great! It’s also comforting to have a hot cup to sip on throughout the day.
One of the perks of working in the office is easy access to the coffee machine. Actually, we have a coffee machine at home too, but it’s not as fancy as the one at the office. Our home espresso machine, which grinds whole beans for each cup, is far superior to the pods in the office. All that being said, I guess the office coffee machine isn’t really a perk.
I broke my old Hario decanter the other day, so I ordered a new Hario V60 Pour Over Starter Set. It’s such a nice size, and even comes with a pack of filters. It’s cute too! I love it.
