This blog is a mildly caffeinated blend of honest coffee reviews, remote work survival tips, and the odd bit of tech chat for people who work anywhere but an office. Whether you’re sipping an espresso in a high-street chain or trying to connect to dodgy Wi-Fi in a countryside café, we’ve got you covered.

Espresso is a 25–30 ml concentrated coffee shot, rich in flavour and topped with crema. Discover its origins, how it’s made, and how to order one right.
What is a Long Black?
A long black is espresso over hot water, not the other way around. This method keeps more crema, richer flavour, and a stronger taste. Learn its origins, recipe, and ordering tips.

A macchiato is a short espresso with a small splash of milk or foam. Learn the origin, how to make one, and what to ask for to avoid getting a milkshake.
What is a Cortado?
A cortado is an espresso drink “cut” with warm milk in a 4–5 oz glass. Learn where it comes from, how to brew one right, and what to ask for to get it correctly.
What is a Cappuccino?
A cappuccino is a classic espresso drink with equal parts steamed milk, espresso, and thick foam. Learn where it came from, how to make it, and what to ask for when ordering.
What is a Flat White?
