How to incorporate coffee into your daily routine

Updated: Dec 4, 2022




Probably you are one of those many wondering why coffee should be included in your morning routine in the first place. Why drink coffee anyway?

Here are some of my reasons

1)Waking you up and getting ready for the day. The caffeine in coffee is a stimulant that acts to block out sleepiness. This way, you can focus on your tasks for the day and stay alert


2) If you do not like to eat a lot in the morning but want to keep full, latte and cappuccino are for you! The milk and syrup of your choice that you add into the coffee will keep you full till the afternoon.


3) Socialisation is a key part of life for people, and Coffee helps to facilitate that. If you are not into having coffee at home, or if the timing prevents you from having coffee at home, you can have it outside or at work with friends and colleagues.


4) Take a break away from the office setting. You can pair Coffee up with work meetings by having the meeting at a café. Change in locations can help to promote creativity.


5) Coffee consumption also offers a variety of benefits to both your physical and mental health. For instance, it helps to reduce the risk of liver problems, as well as provide antioxidants to your body. It also reduces the chance of depression. Not only does coffee provide short term benefits, but it also provides long term benefits. Indeed, many of them are benefits of long-term coffee consumption.


6) However most importantly, preparing or drinking Coffee can be a form of therapy. As we mentioned earlier, it is meditative to prepare your own cup of coffee. This is especially if you hand-grind your coffee bean! The key is to focus on making the coffee, using each of your five senses. Focus your eyes on what you are doing, feel your hand as you perform each task, take in the aroma of the coffee, listen to the sounds such as grinding, and finally, feel the coffee on your tongue as you drink it. This is easier said than done. As your mind will be easily distracted, you have to gently remind yourself to focus on the current experience.


Even if you don’t like coffee in the morning, you can have it in the early afternoon! The post-lunch fatigue can be crushing, but you can mitigate that by drinking Coffee. Just don’t drink it too late, as you might find yourself unable to sleep at night!



So, there are many reasons to drink coffee. But what is the case for preparing rather than buying that nice hot cup of coffee? After all, making it is not so easy!


The case for this is simple. People value the things they create by their own hands, that is, personally. Also, you will have a chance to experiment with different brews! It is a great thing to be able to finally perfect your brewing technique and be able to taste the difference, all the result of your own careful learning, concentration and hard work!
