There is a Starbucks 300 meters away from the office building.

I have been a gold card member for a long time.

Coffee has long since replaced lunch breaks.

The extra large cup is enough for me to handle in one go.

The Christmas season is very happy every year. My favorite Toffee Hazelnut Latte is on the shelves from November until January, and I can drink it every day.

I'm famously addicted to coffee.

I like to browse the refrigerated section of large supermarkets and look for a variety of different ready-made refrigerated coffees.

In the city where I live, there are no convenience stores like 7-11, and there is no refrigerated coffee that can be bought everywhere, which seriously affects the happiness index of my life.

The last time I drank was a can of latte wrapped in red plastic from the open-shelf freezer of Auchan. I can’t remember the name. It tasted pretty good. It cost more than ten yuan a can. At least it was more professional than the instant one I brewed myself.

I have a coffee machine at home, De'Longhi is fully automatic.

For a long time after we got married, my husband would help me grind a cup of latte with plenty of foamed milk every morning, put it into my pretentious Starbucks tumbler, and bring it to work to drink.

Okay, I am self-deprecating. In fact, I don’t mean to pretend to be petty bourgeoisie at all. I just like this kind of lifestyle, which makes me feel a little bit of fashion in this third-tier small city, although this trace is a bit shallow.

When working in public institutions affiliated with the government, most of them have the old-fashioned style of old cadres. When we meet and sit down for a cup of green tea, it is still the worst kind.

If a leader comes, the office will serve him some fine tea. Generally, unknown people like me have no right to taste it, and even if I drink it, I won’t be able to make a fool of myself.

I have been in this unit since I graduated from college and haven't moved anywhere for many years.

Twice, I was appreciated by the senior leaders of the higher-level departments and wanted to recruit me. However, I offended my direct boss at that time and was forced to go back. Later, I was told that they thought you were incompetent and they didn't want you anymore.

I was so angry that I couldn't calm down for a long time.

Now I have long been bearish, and I am not in a hurry to rush forward. I just take it one step at a time. It is important to live a good life. My salary is only a few yuan, and I have never thought about reaching out for something I shouldn't want, so it is the same everywhere.

Sometimes it’s scary to think about it. After working for so many years, I have no skills and no experience. I’m like a novice in the workplace.

Thinking about what I would do if I lost this job one day?

Last year I followed the trend and tried to open a small cafe. I thought it would go well and I would devote myself to it. After all, it is something I like so much. I always have some spiritual sustenance after boring work.

Still not working, I am considered a professional compared to amateurs, but I am just a rookie compared to professionals.

At that time, I was busy decorating the store. When I was very tired, I found out that I was still pregnant. I was weak and couldn't take care of both ends. In the end, I lost a lot of money because the store couldn't open and I couldn't save the child.

Still blame myself.

Maybe there is only a recreational life of drinking coffee, and there is no life of making money from coffee.

I remember the first time I drank coffee was when I was nine years old. I went to my aunt’s house to visit my newborn cousin. My aunt made me a cup of Nestlé Instant. I forgot the taste. I thought it must not taste good, otherwise I wouldn’t taste it at all.

No impression yet.

Later, when I was in the fifth or sixth grade of elementary school, I bought Golden Flavor cereal and it came with four packs of Nescafe coffee.

I have been drinking coffee on a large scale since I was in the third grade of junior high school. In order to get into the best high school in the area, I studied hard and would not sleep if I could. I went to the supermarket to buy Nestlé Instant 12, which cost 9.5 yuan.

Drink. Later, my dad bought me a big bucket of it, which cost more than 60 yuan. Every night I drank it and he drank some too. He likes to drink sweet water.

I drank until the price rose from 9.5 yuan to 11.5 yuan.

When I was in high school, I drank Maxwell occasionally.

Later, Nestlé and Maxwell both had extra concentrated versions, but I still think the original taste tastes good.

It was even crazier during my senior year in high school. I bought a whole bucket of Nescafe black coffee from my residence. It was no longer the three-in-one before, without sugar or creamer. I just drank it bitterly, not for anything else, but for myself to not suffer.

In the middle of suffering, what is the best thing about people?

I went to the North for college. Those were the four years when I was the most indulgent and ignorant. There was nothing to remember. The most I drank was the coffee in the cafeteria, so I won’t talk about it.

I have been drinking Nestlé for many years after working. I am very loyal to the brand.

Later, I went on a group purchase on Taobao with my colleagues. We put together a large box of delicious food and sent it back. The most I bought was coffee. At that time, I found a lot of choices, including Vietnam, Yunnan, Malaysia, and Thailand.

, Korean, Japanese, and all over Asia.

After so many years, I have gradually become immune to coffee. What sustains me when I am sleepy is not caffeine, but the satisfaction or pleasure that drinking coffee brings.

I don’t know what else can surprise me in my ordinary working life. The only thing that makes life colorful is coffee. It makes me feel that I am still connected to the world outside this small city and makes me feel alive.

It must still have some quality.

I bought a lot of mugs and coffee cups, changing them one by one according to my mood.

When there was no Starbucks in this city, I would occasionally go to business-style chain coffee shops like Shangdao and Cross-Strait to order something and drink. I always felt silly, sitting alone in a booth and reading a book.

The waiter was also dumbfounded and confused. What was this person doing?

It made me very uncomfortable and I stopped going after a few times.

I bought an American coffee maker and a manual grinder, which was the cheapest.
