12:30pm you walk from lunch to your favorite cafe. You’re welcomed by your favorite baristas, pay your usual amount. Its expensive for coffee but its worth it because there is little to no line and they give you better espresso, attention, and a service than any of those places that serve lines of lattes to go.
They hand you your espresso even before you pay, mention a few tasting notes you might enjoy in the espresso and ask you:
‘how’s your day so far?’
While you chat about your life and their’s. They hand you a different espresso to try that should taste beautiful in a different way than the first. You accept, taste, and discuss whether it tastes as they described.
You sip the shot while finishing the conversation and ten minutes after you’ve walked in you are off to work.
Its like a healthy cigarette break. You see an acquaintance and catch up on some life, imbibe in something that makes your life 1000x more luxurious. Take a deep breath and head back to work with more energy and feeling more relaxed than before.
Its quick, its simple, its expensive, but its one of the best parts of your day so it’s absolutely worth it.
It’s what I dream about.
