RE: CLOSED - Coffee Conversation, a commenting initiative to #WINHIVE

I'd say I am a dawn coffee drinker. This doesn't mean I will turn into a vampire or anything if I drink coffee in the evening. No, I do drink my fair share of coffee in the evenings too especially when I'm out with my wife or meeting friends.

But the reason I say I am a dawn coffee drinker is because, just the mere thought of morning coffee takes me back to my early years in med school. Classes used to start early in the morning. It was hard enough to get up as is, but I'd still make myself get up 30 minutes earlier than I needed to, just so I can make myself a nice cup of fancy coffee. It was like that whole process of making the coffee and enjoying sipping into the cup standing out on the 7th floor balcony that watched over the lake while the rest of the campus slept - it was my time of the day!

It's hard to explain the serenity of it, especially when the rain used to patter on the lake!

Wow! That's hard to beat, really.
There's something satisfying about rising early when the rest of the world is asleep. Doing so in such an environment doubles the magic of it... AWESOME 🙌

Yes! I find it hard to convince many people of it, but those who can turn this into a daily habit, days become so much more productive it's almost miraculous! With a strong cup of coffee to kickstart the day - that's just recipe for awesomeness!

That's true!
I know that I'm in optimal health when I wake up at 05:30 every morning. That's more achievable when i can get to bed by 21:30. That has not happened in ages 😅

Ditto! Milly

I already imagined the whole panorama, the silence, the sunrise and the lake, beautiful and of course the cup of coffee...cheers!

I like sunrises and coffee. I love it that you made time, under difficulty circumstances, to truly enjoy your coffee…it’s so damn special. Isn’t it?
