You like coffee? Coz I do.

I know my drink of choice is a little basic, but adulting is so complex in so many other ways.

Hey,

Today's newsletter, is a little snippet into my life, specifically my coffee.

 I first tasted coffee when I was 21, and it was a McDonald’s caramel latte, with a gazillion sugar sachets, since I hated the bitterness. Haha.

4 years later, and my taste has improved… slightly.

I have found out you can buy coffee that is roasted to give a particular taste. My favourite is something with a hint of chocolate. This means it tastes sweeter, with less sugar (good for my pancreas), and it’s way cheaper to make my own coffee at home, than a £5 Starbucks latte.

 

I first started with Pact Coffee. I loved their ‘House Blend’ which had hints of milk chocolate. I also got a free cafetiere with the, too! It’s a small one, but still practical. I subscribed to their service and paid £8.95 every time I ordered a bag of 250 g of coffee. They have a mixture of pods, ground coffee and beans, and it was easy to pause the subscription. I was with Pact for 6 months.

I left Pact for Rave in Jan 2024. I really liked that they highlight their efforts to contribute sustainably, since the coffee industry is not that great on the planet. They offer similar products as Pact, and for my chocolate smelling 200 g of coffee, I pay £9.07 on the subscription.
