Author's Confession by @neruel

Tears fell as I expressed my ideas, emotion surged and everything was like a blizzard that exalted my will.While I was capturing every word, I was having a lot of fun is that I was accompanied by that coffee I bought. I published the article and the uproar began, but then I signed my letter of resignation from my position as editor-in-chief of one of the most important media outlets in the country.

The Coffee Crusher by @grindan

I've tuned the sink on to refill the kettle, staring past the plants on my windowsill at the birds beyond, when I realize my sink is half full! Get. It. Together. Coffee needs to happen now! It's already 7:30 suddenly, and I really need to get to the office by a quarter after 8 if I'm to clean up Fig's mess before it gains legs. Now, where the heck is my coffee grinder?

Saving The Day by @diikaan

The vapour emanating from the cup almost made me teary and grabbing the cup from Pete's hand, I felt like hugging the life out of him. " no, he'll think me gay if I tried it" I thought to myself as I took a big gulp, then another.

How My Broken Coffee Grinder Led to a Man Being (Happily) Spellbound by @deeanndmathews

I was desperate. I knew I shouldn't have been, but none of us had time to prepare for 2020 emotionally, professionally, and socially. We put together coping rituals as we could, and we needed them. I put on my mask and picked up a new bag of beans – I was willing to make a trade wherever that sound led me.

The dog, the old woman and Martha's decision. by @jetta.amaya

I didn't think much about it, I left my house as if possessed by a dark force. And I headed next door, where my neighbor Betty lived, a poor, lonely, bitter old woman who had never said hello to me in all the years we had been neighbors. I knew one of her back windows was broken, so I slipped in through there.

I woke up late, with a feeling of foreboding and no coffee by @chacald.dcymt

I arrived at the store and the clock on the cash register read 8:05 am and I bought the coffee and a chocolate bar to have that delicious mixture that I love. I paid and Mrs. Yuank started asking me about the cat, about the dog and I dodging her words, I could get rid of her, but it was 8:10 am.

The Coffee Professor! by @simplifylife

This was going to be a bold move. But desperate times call for desperate measures and this was the very definition of a desperate time! Because once I am in the ward already, it was going to be nearly impossible to sneak out for a cuppa till lunch break and a groggy me is not a very nice me!

Crazy Is Another Word For 'Without Coffee' by @deraaa

I can't not have coffee. So what now? "Think Diana. Think!" I slap my hand against my forehead. I could feel my nerves already rattling. I don't know how long I stayed in the kitchen just staring at my empty cup and faulty grinder but it was long enough for it to click.

The Day I Saw Him Again by @universoperdido

It just kept repeating habitual and sarcastic words about my life after I separated from John, my ex; like things about my job and the details of my new apartment. One day, I discovered that I could calm that voice with coffee. Somehow, this drink managed to keep my thoughts in order and keep John's voice in my head quiet.

➤ A gloomy solution by @susurrodmisterio

It is time then to have a good coffee to lift my spirits and get ready, later there will be time to sleep I said to myself, it was at that moment when my world of thoughts crumbled to pieces, my coffee mill was empty, I checked each of the kitchen shelves and discovered that I did not have a single coffee bean.

The screwed up morning routine. There must be sacrifices! by @mdosev

I’m really screwed. The nearest shop opens no earlier than 8:30, which is about half an hour after my work shift starts. I have two options… First one is to have a day off, the other is to find a way to fix the grinder with something at my reach. Let’s check the kitchen for adequate solution. I’m sure I’ll be able to fix the grinder some way or another.

A new beginning by @irvinc

During the first months things went quite well. We lived in a house with a big garden. Every morning I could have breakfast with Jenny and savor her exquisite coffee. We took long bike rides and drank beers watching movies on the TV.
