some secrets about my coffee love
- my dad did work for a coffee company for over 25 years
-I love the smell of coffee( thinking of my dad)
-only drink cappucino
-never drink coffee alone at home, only water
-I do drink coffee alone in the city
-'gezellig samen koffie drinken'....'gezellig' is one of the those words the Dutch use all the time. The dictionary says:'cosy,but that doesn't really cover its meaning and FEELING .. English speakers will not normally say that a cup of coffee is cosy,wheras the Dutch repeat this ad nauseam
enjoy your coffee and you can find more coffee love at spain daily

I love the smell too ... even if I don't drink coffee. Lovely post !!
I agree, the smell is pleasant ! I love the colors in your pictures, really nice.
i like your coffee love secrets very, very much. cappucino mmmhhh...and yes kaffee trinken is very gezellig. what a nice word.
The Dutch drink some of the finest coffee in the world. Did your dad work for a Dutch coffee company?
I would have to say that the color of your cups would be one of my favorite shades of green... lovely. The story of your dad sheds a little light on your love for coffee... nice.
Ja, idd "gezellig". Dat woord bestaat alleen in het Nederlands. Als ik "gezellig" in het duits wil zeggen, zeg ik het gewoon in het nederlands. :)
Groetjes, Nicki
Wish you many gezelling coffees in the city!
try the lingzhi coffe once with pure brazilian coffe beans,. they are amazing
oooooooh, of course i adore the word "gezellig" now. leave it to the dutch to have such an innately perfect word for coffee and other super-cosiness!

beautiful pictures and I love your story. I love the smell of coffee too! Even though I am more of a tea drinker.
I love the fond memories coffee brings to you of your dad and I love the green cup and saucer!! Enjoy... xoxo
I enjoyed this post. I love the last photo with the drips ... neat shot !
Like you, I love to drink water. That....and coffee.
And being Dutch....I think it is the summum of ´gezellig´ to have it with friends or my parents. ;)
The Germans don´t have a word for it too...but now like Nicky I just say gezellig! and they now what I mean....I think.
And....are you enjoying your long weekend?
your blog is so wonderful -- i love all the photos and vintage stuff!
Thanks for the corner view...
Gezellig, dat kennen ze hier in Zweden ook niet echt! ha,ha..... dat is ook een van de dingen die ik mis Hollandse Spontane gezelligheid. Groetjes
I totally agree. The smell is like heaven. Also that first picture is delightful and the green cup and saucer are so cute.
thanks!

Oh I love your pictures especially the first one. I love the green cup.

i love the shape of the green cup! and i find drinking coffee also very 'gezellig'!
The first picture - it looks delicious. The sound of a working coffee machine makes me think of my father. I loved to read your post.
