Brewing a Great Year: Caffeinated New Years Resolutions for 2018

Welcome to 2018! With the old year fully wrapped and tucked away, it is time to start filling up that new diary of yours with some exciting fresh ideas. Here are five New Year’s resolutions for coffee lovers to get the new year off to a great start.

Make the Most out of your Coffee Break

We often need to remind ourselves to take a break and have a bit of ‘me-time’. Use your coffee break at a cafe for just that: catch up on your reading or to have a laugh with a friend.

If you have got an older relative, think of inviting them for a cup of joe and a chat and use this time to create priceless memories. It’s such a nice way to stay connected with others. Pressing pause, dedicating time to things you like, or treating yourself to small things are essential to maintaining our mental health and balance in personal and work life.

Travel to an Award Winning Lifestyle Store with a Coffee Flair

The new year is also a great reason to try new places. There is no better way to start your 2018 trips than by visiting a unique lifestyle store such as Fabiani in Longford. Get inspired by local and international designers, catch up with the latest trends, and soak up the creative atmosphere.

Such trips let you discover regional gems and dive into local art and cuisine. Before heading back, stop by Mudshot @Fabiani for a cup of Coffee Culture’s Lamotta blend of speciality coffee beans. It’s a lovely treat to finish your Saturday trip.

Like Lattes? Welcome the Café Cortado

Do you like white coffees such as flat white or latte? You will love a cortado. The cortado is definitely on trend for 2018. This petite coffee drink of a Spanish origin consists of single espresso shot mixed with roughly with the same amount of foamed milk. In the Cuban version, it comes with heated sweetened condensed milk. It is similar to the Italian macchiato or the French noisette. The Cortado definitely sounds like a delicious warmer for cold January days.
