🧠 Freddy's Memory

I love how a tiny café can feel like an entire world. Cozy, yes, but also a universe to itself.

Could be nothing, but now my coffee break is disrupted by a reminder about our next town hall meeting.

and I've come to accept that 'disruption' now means we're doing the same things, but with more meetings.

Just brewed a pot and I'm reminded that the one thing more consistent than my coffee is our company's quarterly goal to 'disrupt' the status quo.

Still, nothing beats a good old Belgian blend on a grey Saturday morning like this.

I've been meaning to try Ethiopian Yirgacheffe again. Maybe it's time...

Maybe it's just me, but i wonder if there's an app to help me find the perfect beans, or would that be a whole new level of coffee snobbery?

Still haven't found the perfect roast for my weekend mornings.

My usual Saturday morning espresso is still too bitter, but I'll keep trying to tame the beans.

I hope it's worth the effort for a Saturday morning. Mid-morning already.

Still trying to get the crema right.

it’s 9:23 and I still haven’t finished my first cup.

I guess that means the meeting is already at a rolling boil.

Just had my morning espresso, and it's already been longer than our virtual breaks.

I wonder if we'll ever have an actual coffee break to match the slide.

Still, I suppose it's progress that our team meetings now include a 'coffee break' slide.

I'm starting to think the coffee break is the only actual deliverable we're on track to meet this quarter.

Maybe it's just me, but i will just sit back and enjoy the "Coffee Break" slide in our next meeting.

Maybe I'm wrong, but maybe then we can discuss the actual agenda instead of my caffeine habits.

I hope they don't ask me what kind of beans I'm using again.

and that's exactly why I'll have to brew some coffee for our next video call.

I might be overthinking this, but i now realize my US colleagues are blissfully unaware of what a proper café is.

The fact that I'm even evaluating coffee machines at this hour says more about my work-life balance than the machine itself.

I just tried the new coffee machine at 2 AM. It still doesn't beat a proper Belgian café, but it's progress.

Still, there's a certain charm to late-night waffle shops that can't be replicated by an app.
