SwissWater Decaf

On Saturday, I visited a new cafe and curiously discovered "SwissWater Decaf" on the list. Curious? It actually is the brand of a Vancouver-based company, who is using water instead of chemicals for decaffeination.

What has that to do with Switzerland? Nothing, except that it was somebody in Switzerland in 1930, who was the first to use water for decaffeination.

French Vanilla

Today, I went to Tim Hortons, the legendary Canadian coffee chain, and ordered a "French Vanilla". I was curious what I'm drinking and asked whether it contained any coffee, but ufortunately, nobody at the counter knew. However, the very friendly lady even went to the back office and the chief finally knew that their drink does contain coffee. And by the way, if you have a sweet tooth, is actually really good.

German accent

I'm afraid, I have to work on my accent. This morning, I ordered a Coffee Latte and was getting a Toffee Latte... Where is your accent from?

My first Starbucks cup

If you ever wondered why anybody should buy one of these ugly Starbuck coffee cups - because it is the only coffee place around, many people go there everyday and if you always take a plastic cup, it's making it even worse. By bringing your own Starbucks cup for a daily refill, you make not only Starbucks but even the environment happy. Or at least your conscience.
