Sometimes a new experience or a day off is just what is needed to refresh us and give us a new perspective. We've compiled a few ideas that don't cost much, can be done without traveling far, and are very enjoyable (especially if you or your loved one enjoy coffee).
-
Host a coffee tasting party: Invite some friends and family over and try a variety of different coffees. You can taste them side by side to compare flavors and choose your favorite. Trying to save a few dollars? Ask them to each contribute one of their favorite coffees to the party.
-
Visit an independent coffee shop: Support a small business and try a specialty drink or roast from a local coffee shop. While this is an obvious choice, we suggest branching out, and visiting a shop you may not be familiar with. You can always pop in at your favorite at the end of your day.
-
Make your own flavored syrups: Create your own syrups at home by simmering equal parts sugar and water with flavorings such as vanilla, caramel, and add spices like cinnamon. You'll be amazed at the flavors you can create.
-
Recreate an old fashioned coffee break: Invite a few friends over and brew one variety of drip coffee. Add a retro bowl of sugar cubes, and a pitcher of creamer, plus a box of donuts from the corner bakery. You'll enjoy catching up on the latest scoop in everyone's life.
-
Enjoy the simple solitude of coffee and a good book: Find a quiet nook at your local coffee shop, library, or studio. Grab a cup of coffee and enjoy an hour of solitude while you savor your favorite brew. You'll feel refreshed and invigorated.
