Hey guys, my name’s Simon and for me, coffee is that precious black liquid that makes me happy, productive and energized.
My deep interest in anything coffee really took off in 2018 and I quickly realized that I have a specific preference for drinks that are jam-packed with caffeine.
In fact – ‘highly caffeinated’ is what I’m all about when it comes to coffee.
This explains why I LOVE ristretto so much, which is a highly concentrated type of coffee derived from espresso.
But my relationship with coffee drinks wasn’t always that smooth.
In fact, it has been a rather weird one, to be honest.
That’s why I couldn’t be bothered with starting each day with a nice cup of Joe.
A few years ago I thought that I didn’t really need any caffeine to kickstart my day…
Okay, but… why?
Because I foolishly thought that caffeine is for weak and that I can be just as productive and energetic without it.
Sure, that’s definitely doable and I don’t deny that.
As I Grew Older I Started Realizing How Precious Caffeine Can Be!
Once family life, work and other real-life things got a firm hold of me, I realized that I need that extra bit of kick to the butt to keep going.
And that’s how it all started for me.
Coffee and caffeine became close friends of mine.
I even still remember the first coffee maker that I bought – a so-so Tchibo Cafissimo capsule coffee machine.
Sure, it was noisy and the coffee wasn’t anything to write home about, but it sparked my interest in caffeine-loaded drinks in general.
In fact, my favorite coffee drinks are those strong, highly-caffeinated types like the very eye-opening double espresso!
Currently, I’m using the lovely Nescafe Dolce Gusto Mini Me that I bought because it’s super compact, dead easy to clean and delivers great coffee in no time.
One thing led to another and I decided to transfer my love and passion for coffee by creating a coffee-themed website.
Not just yet another site about coffee though…
