Coffee and more coffee.

Loving greetings to all my Hive friends, especially coffee lovers. I am glad to be on this week's STB as always sharing with you some coffee experiences and stories. In the wide and passionate world of coffee I have undoubtedly met people with strange and exaggerated habits regarding the use and consumption of coffee. So in response to this week's initiative I will tell you some of those stories.

To begin with I will tell you about my mother, an old lady who enjoyed 8 decades of life, drinking coffee since before she was born. Raised in a coffee plantation on the border between Venezuela and Colombia she was a coffee lover all her life. When she was older she loved to be served very hot coffee, I guess seeing the steaming cup that brought back the old nostalgia of the young days that would never come back. However, when it was time to drink it, he would put an ice cube in it, because the heat hurt his gums, already worn out by time.

I never understood him well, but I only had to understand him and know that soon after contemplating his steaming cup he would ask me for the ice cube to drink it.

Another person whose coffee habits amaze me is my dear @aly.squid, my life partner. She is capable of drinking about three liters of coffee a day, she doesn't bother to keep track of what she drinks at home. And if we go out and she is offered coffee she accepts it without hesitation. Likewise, if we go to a restaurant, he prefers to eat with coffee rather than with juice or any other soft drink. Even in pizzerias he enjoys his pizza with a cup of coffee, something that I find unusual.

And on a general level in the community where I live, people use the waste from ground coffee to fertilize their plants, even for pig feed. Another uses the ground coffee to put on a freshly made wound to stop it from bleeding. There is a lot of hope placed in the power of coffee in folk cultures, I myself did the wound thing once.

As I said at the beginning, the world inhabited by coffee lovers is vast and passionate. But at the same time it is fascinating to immerse oneself in it. I say goodbye for now hoping you enjoy my stories and leaving you a hug. See you soon.
