I should probably drink less coffee, but I do love it. Sometimes I can feel it make my heart race. I have 2-3 cups in the moring and usually another one around 3pm to motivate me for the afternoon. I find if I drink coffee in the afternoon, I’m much more likely to close all three rings on my Apple Watch.
Are you tired of hearing about Paris yet? (Apologies in advance) Our hotel had an in-room espresso maker. Espresso is not satisfying for me. My husband enjoyed it, but I like to sip on hot coffee for an extended period of time. (That’s why I really like my Ember smart mug.) While in Paris, I took the tiny French elevator down to the lobby each morning for a “coffee long” from the fantastic machine they had there. It made everything from espresso to cappuccino, with “coffee long” being the closest thing to American coffee. I typically made two trips to the lobby each morning, as I need at least two cups of coffee to get out the door in the morning.
While sipping my coffee longs, I enjoyed these incredible views from our room – Room 802.

There is no such thing as tired of Paris! I’m like you. Espressos are fine, but I prefer a cup of coffee. Well, cups plural. Nothing like a cup of coffee and a fresh baked French pastry…. Heaven.

My wife and I had a Paris trip planned earlier in the year that we had to postpone. So it’s nice to see your photos! We were looking forward to the French bakeries every morning… yum.

Oh, I hope you get to reschedule soon! The croissants ARE so good when warm. The best ones we had were at Le Petit Cler on Rue Cler.
