  • coffee, pussy and chocolate

    coffee, pussy and chocolate

    Doesn’t seem to connect – right? Well, coffee and chocolate, sure – but pussy? This is just a random trio of words that came up once – probably out of my own mouth. I said it without thinking (like so many things I say) – and then I thought, “Cool, I’ll write it down.” So…

  • balance

    balance

    Balance is movement in stillness. Flow can occur in the context of the collision of two opposites – night and day, life and death, etc. In nature and life, nothing is completely motionless – even what seems calm and enduring throbs with internal change and flow. It is these invisible processes that create harmony, serving…

  • it’s not really about that drink

    it’s not really about that drink

    Not exactly, not about the morning coffee itself – that’s just a pretext. It’s about peace, and peace comes from a sense of security, and that sense of security comes from something certain and familiar. Something that’s truly ours. I went to yoga this morning. I do yoga, but usually in the evenings, and today,…

  • morning coffee #1

    morning coffee #1

    Rising of the sun is, to me, one of the most beautiful, awe-inspiring, and yet completely underappreciated spectacles the human eye can witness. This morning’s wasn’t perfect – a slightly misty sky on the horizon delayed the sun’s appearance by a good six minutes. But still, the sight of that burning crest filled me with…

  • the essence of minimalism

    the essence of minimalism

    Sitting at my desk on a Saturday morning – watching yet another video about capsule wardrobes and endlessly postponing cleaning my own – Matt called. He said, „I’m writing a new article, let me read you the beginning.” He read it and hung up. And I started thinking – about coffee, because of the phone…

  • we don’t deserve Sicily

    we don’t deserve Sicily

    We landed, and I felt like my watch had suddenly slowed down. And no – I’m not talking about that subjective feeling we get when we catch our breath outside the city. Literally – the second hand’s movement was noticeably elongated. The sun was joyfully shining straight in my face, signaling that I should relax,…

  • La Cabra – masters of consistency and aesthetics

    La Cabra – masters of consistency and aesthetics

    The first time I stumbled upon La Cabra Coffee’s website and Instagram, I was captivated by their aesthetics. I was absolutely fascinated by their selection of photography, colors, and iconography that build this brand. Everything here feels in its place. On one hand, it seems like every element has been meticulously curated, but on the…

  • because I like it

    because I like it

    I’m going to the theater / cinema / for coffee… With whom? Alone. Alone? Why? BECAUSE I LIKE IT. Because I like it. Because I can. Because I want to. Because it’s nobody’s business what I do, where, or with whom. Because that’s my choice. That’s why I can enjoy a coffee alone in a…

  • words ruined everything

    words ruined everything

    Words. A paradox – on one hand, a force; on the other, a weakness. Words shape our perception of reality, and they are everywhere. Yet increasingly, they carry not only an informational weight but also a destructive one. Language, instead of connecting us, often divides. Miscommunication, hidden thoughts, and the multiplicity of meanings lead to…

  • drug you’ll take with (almost) anyone

    drug you’ll take with (almost) anyone

    Coffee is a drug. Maybe not in the classic sense (it doesn’t lead to severe health problems or social dysfunction), but its effects on the body and brain share many similarities with addictive substances. It’s time to stop pretending – this is not a substance that leaves your central nervous system untouched. There are still…

  • coffee doesn’t matter

    coffee doesn’t matter

    In the midst of the endless expanse, en route to the northern tip of Greece, the sun slowly dips into the sleek line of the horizon. The winding road leads through increasingly higher hills and elevations, warm, though no longer the typical Greek heat that makes it hard for a Southeast Polish European to breathe.…
