I need at least a cup to get me through every day and 2 or 3 in rough day. The first thing that pops up in my head in the morning is "coffeeeeee". It's like my brain can't function without caffeine. Somehow I suspect that it is my brain is always trying to seduce me into getting caffeine. It's more like me feeding my brain with coffee than my actual need of it.
When I first started drinking coffee, I start with latte. Then I got into cap. Well, with my studyload and workload, normal cap can no longer make me awake. So I start having short black and before long I start having long black. Lately, I prefer strong cap with double shots. It can last a bit longer and I stay with one cup per day. Well, supposedly one cup a day. But in reality, I have to have at least two cups. I also used to have 2 sugar but now I stick with no sugar at all. It tastes even better, apparently.
I have literally been living off coffee. Bad move. One time I had an upset stomach for having too much coffee. But it didn't make me stop either because I feel like I'm snoozing out without having coffee. Now I understand why Mum always has to have coffee every day. It used to be me who telling her to reduce her coffee consumption, or even stop drinking it because she has diabetes. Oh wells . . . .
With the coffee-craving, I finally got to taste the coffee from one of the coffee shops in Victoria Market. It's called Market Lane Coffee. They claim to be a specialist in coffee roastery that sell only "delicious high-quality" coffee. Fancying the "delicious high-quality" coffee, I have always wanted to try it but never had the chance until today.
Mind you, it's a bit expensive for a small cup of coffee. The one I had was $4.50. It's not not as expensive as Brunetti, though. Or is it? Anyway, it is more expensive than the standard coffee price. The taste was so-so. A bit too bitter and there was a faint burnt taste in the coffee. I guess the skill of the barista is clearly the most important thing in making coffee. Because I've tasted a very good coffee from different coffee shops with less pricey. One of my favorites is the coffee from a coffee shop in my uni building. The barista makes a very nice coffee, despite the rush of making it because there is always a line of people.
I am still happy that I tried Market Lane Coffee nevertheless. Also, I like their tagline on the cups. It's somehow catchy. I would probably go back there to give it another try.
Now, now. I need to get back to my report. Awake, awake!
Until next post.
