Coffee · by Valeria López · 2026-10-06

Notes from a very normal lunch break with Coffee from my late summer notes

> Tiny progress is still progress.

That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through teh part where cafes stopped feeling new.

I know this is a tiny sample size, but after 10 attempts teh pattern is pretty clear. When I keep teh setup simple, I actualy follow through

That last line is excellent. The quiet Sunday version is even more interesting

I am saving this for the next time I overthink coffee. My friend tried it in Berlin and had the opposite result. A squeeze of lemon would probably wake it up

I agree with the goal and disagree with the method. This is more useful on a tired winter than on a perfect day. I would absolutely hover near the kitchen for this

this reminds me of something a friend in Nairobi mentioned. My friend tried it in Dublin and had the opposite result

I like the idea, but the setup probly matters a lot. I would love to see a follow-up after 6 weeks
