I've got a few photos if/when you get started. :-) I used to put sugar in coffee but now I savour the rough, bitter taste... especially with a really good brew. Although a splash of milk for me please! @John – Yes, I’m pretty sure that would be a really popular site. I’ve got a few photos if/when you get started. :-)

That is what we do when we travel, we walk from cafe to cafe. We also take photographs of all of our travel coffees to remember our trips. I was thinking of creating a website with photos of coffees from around the world. Do you think that would be popular? I would definitely agree with Andy, that the UK is a lacking in decent cafes and restaurants for that matter. My favorite city in the world for unique cafes with personality is definitely Budapest. The quality of restaurants and service are also amazing. And for the record, drip coffee doesn't compare to espresso made in a high pressure machine. You need the caramelized brown foam to have a really good cup of joe. Also, if you put sugar in your coffee than you don't really appreciate what good coffee is. :-) That is like putting sugar in a good glass of wine. <abbr><em>John Bardos’s last blog post..<a href="http://jetsetcitizen.com/jetsetcitizens/interview-with-thailand-based-nomad-cody-mckibben/" rel="nofollow">Interview with Thailand Based Nomad, Cody McKibben</a></abbr></em> My wife and I are huge coffee fans!

Velvet lounge chairs and a newspaper in Hong Kong? Tick. Typical Starbucks haunt with fantastic Kiwi food before a day of adventure? Tick. Tucked away writing on a wet dreary day in Edinburgh? Unfortunatley, tick. :) @ Dave & Deb - You two are well travelled so you deserve a good cup of brew. Extra shot? @Jonathan – It is one of those things I do *everywhere* I go.

When we have been on the road roughing it for awhile, I just love it when we pull into a city and find a great little café to relax in. However, some of my best coffee experiences were in the Sudan and Ethiopia at little shacks on the side of the road. They really knew how to make a great cup of coffee. <abbr><em>Dave and Deb’s last blog post..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/theplanetd/HwKP/~3/4nNlQL9mITQ/" rel="nofollow">A Week in Review 2</a></abbr></em> I do love a good café.

There is nothing quite like sitting in a boutique cafe and enjoying a quality cup of coffee. One of the best things about being a freelancer is being able to take the laptop and go out to enjoy a coffee in quirky surroundings - that first sip always seems to help the ideas flow.
