Kaffetur 34 / Coffee Tour #34: Jonas Reindl, VIenna (Austria)

Who wouldn’t love sipping a perfectly prepared pour-over, while basking in the sunshine and gazing upon a pretty spectacular cathedral? Continue reading Kaffetur 34 / Coffee Tour #34: Jonas Reindl, VIenna (Austria)

coffee at its finest

Coming off a school break and getting back into routine can be tough. And it’s particularly tough when it comes on the tail-end of a visit from the grandparents. Continue reading coffee at its finest

KAFFETUR 33 / COFFEE TOUR #33: INDEPENDENT GROUNDS CAFE, WOODSTOCK, GA (USA)

It’s back! We know it’s been a while – a really long time, actually – but we finally have a new installment of the coffee tour. And it’s a good one!

(See more on our sister blog To Be Told)… Continue reading KAFFETUR 33 / COFFEE TOUR #33: INDEPENDENT GROUNDS CAFE, WOODSTOCK, GA (USA)

Kaffetur 32 / Coffee Tour #32: Nømad, Barcelona (Catalonia~Spain)

The purpose of our trip was to visit friends. It really was. Which means no planned coffee shop visits.

Well, technically I didn’t plan any.

But then again, whenever I travel, I mark a couple of locations on my favorite offline map app – you know… just in case! Continue reading Kaffetur 32 / Coffee Tour #32: Nømad, Barcelona (Catalonia~Spain)

Kaffetur 31 / Coffee Tour #31: Faro, Rome (Italy)

P1090733It has one of the longest and most unusual names of any shop we have visited so far. But Crooked Nose & Coffee Stories (hereinafter CNACS) turned out to be a lot more than a funny name in a quaint little Lithuanian neighborhood. Continue reading Kaffetur 29 / Coffee Tour #29: Crooked Nose & Coffee Stories, Vilnius (Lithuania)

Kaffetur 28 / Coffee Tour #28: Coffee Inn Roasters, Vilnius (Lithuania)

A discount airline with a big sale to a country we’d never visited, taking with us nothing but a backpack and very few expectations.

P1090664Sometimes that’s the best way to approach travel, and maybe other things in life as well. Minimal plans and minimal expectations often result in maximum surprise.

And last week’s quick visit to Vilnius (Lithuania) definitely surprised us, in a very, very good way. Continue reading Kaffetur 28 / Coffee Tour #28: Coffee Inn Roasters, Vilnius (Lithuania)

Coffee Art

Last summer, we had an afternoon layover in Amsterdam, so we took the train into the city for a few hours. And we popped into Urban Outfitters. Not for the reason that most might visit it, but because we happened to see something about coffee. Continue reading Coffee Art
