Its a funny world!

 I was reading  some banter on Twitter today  between coffee bloggers and some  coffee sites getting rather hostile about the amount of coffee blogs out there reviewing coffee...... I started to feel quite guilty about what I am doing!! I had barely read a blog before February and I certainly did not  think I would ever have one of my own  or would  have guessed it  would be about coffee.. It started out so innocently and as a very spur of the moment decision so I hope it doesn't get taken out of context at all.

 I suppose I want to get it straight that in no means am I a coffee reviewer.. I hardly know the first thing about coffee...I had to google Ristretto yesterday when  I heard it used repeatedly and I had no idea what it was, I still don't quite know what a pour over,  clover  or syphon coffee is  or even  what they taste like and  I only recently found out that a cupping is a coffee tasting not something your Acupuncturist does to your back!! 

 I have always loved to drink coffee and this   resolution I have  set my self  this year has been the best  learning experience I've had in such a long time, my coffee knowledge in the last 2 and a bit months has improved ten fold  and I'm certainly so much  more  aware and educated about that little brown bean, who would have thought I would love it so much! Maybe its my next calling, you never know!  Coffee is taken so seriously in Melbourne and people are so passionate about it which is great and I have been able to witness the wonderful collaborative side of it  so  I certainly don't want to get caught up in anything negative!

My journey I suppose is to try these 100 (and more) places  that have already been critiqued and judged by an expert ... and  I am  just writing about my personal  experience I have  at these places.. I tend to not like to write anything negative.. I never really thought of myself as a glass half full kind of gal, but I'm seeing that I always try and see the positive in every one of my experiences, Take for example Market Lane, I was dying to go there, but my coffee did not live up to my expectations, This just makes me want to go there  again even more  and prove that one experience wrong!

This for me is a journey of distraction, I needed something really positive,  really easy and really  fun to do after a year of heartbreak and sadness.... This has been the perfect perfect escape....It is doing exactly what  I intended it to do... plus I am loving coffee even more (I can even handle three in a day..woah !)

So I'm going to keep doing what I intended to do while it brings me joy and happiness.... You cant take that kind of feeling for granted!

Until Next time xxx
