Spent most of the weekend lying horizontally and honestly no complaints

(the vanilla and sea salt matcha from Jenki has me in a chokehold)

In good company on this dreary Saturday afternoon 🌧☕

I don't tend do specific coffee reviews a lot nowadays, but i HAD to share this absolute banger.

I've had this as both a filter (as it proudly says on the bag), but always one to be difficult, I've also ran it through the espresso machine - a little longer of an extraction than your usual 'spro, and it's been divine. Similarly to a coffee I sampled with the Concious Coffee team back at the Manchester Coffee Festival, sampling a 'funky' bean on espresso really does knock your socks off when done well.

I wholeheartedly recommend grabbing a bag of this if there's any left, or exploring the other options in their UK online shop (apparently 'FEB10' will give you 10% off teehee) - I've yet to have a bad coffee from the Conscious team and you're supporting a phenomenal independent brand that pushes the boundaries in specialty coffee, AND are absolute cuties whilst doing it.

late night baking: TikTok taught me you can prove bread in an instant pot and hey, it was phenomenal

brb slathering butter on the entire loaf

If I submit this to the danish embassy do you think they’ll give me a visa

Stayed up late to watch the Grammys yesterday. Today I have an early night.

My hot chocolate game is going strong.

oh look it's like i've regenerated

(nearly a decade's difference between updating my blog aesthetic and I promise you my mental health is exactly how you think it is)

*shouts to the void* hellloooooo tumblr!

long time silent lurker, mid-time "I'm coming back I promise" then disappearing again

short-time "hell yeah i always feel good when i visit this website why do I leave"

i fear i've needed an excuse to move back to tumblr for awhile now and given the state of all other social media, I think it's as good a time as any.

give me time to get back into it then I'm sure you'll be fed up of me :))

'ello tumblr

i've been housebound for 3+ weeks after a dodgy knee injury, and am spending too much time back at a desk.

clearly signing back into my tumblr is a priority.

who's still active on here????????????? let's be friends.

You don't know how long I waited for all the old people to move so I could take this photo.

Hello world! My current view:

[every time I log back into Tumblr I realise how much I've missed it]

My day in coffee: travel edition.

(Seriously though how cute is that waiting room? Made the delayed trains way more worth it)

Really depends on the time of day.

AM: flat white or short cappuccino

PM: filter coffee

It’s been over a decade since I started this cute tumblr blog and I’m still sat in coffee shops drinking coffee tippety tapping on my laptop

(albeit my taste in coffee is much better nowadays)

This weekend saw the sun make a cheeky cameo in what has been one hell of a long winter.

Headed out to Richmond upon Thames and picked up a silky smooth oat flat white from a fav, Kiss the Hippo. It was so tasty that the strawberry coffee notes mixed with oatly made me reminisce of strawberry milk.

Counting down the days until spring at this point. I miss getting coffee to go and exploring.

I feel a little out of sorts writing this but having worked for 10 years in coffee now, alongside the news that tumblr is making a resurgence, I’m hopping back online.

I’ve reinstalled tumblr on my phone and bookmarked it on my MacBook. Super excited to be back in the space where it all started after all these years. I created this space when I was 14 (a whopping 13 years ago) when I wanted to get into coffee. I’m now top of my game in my career and have an abundance of opportunities, arguably all down to this page and the community that supported me. Massive thank yous to you all.

Last thing to say I guess is: Hello!!
