Being one of the world’s biggest coffee lovers, I just had to compile a round-up of the best coffee crafts and DIYs.
Being British you might assume my favourite drink would be tea but its actually coffee! I only drink tea when I’m hungover which only happens a couple of times a year. So I only drink about 2 cups of tea a year. Whereas I probably drink 5 to 6 cups of coffee a day.
I mostly drink strong black coffee, but I’m not fussy about my coffee. I will drink it at any temperature from hot to ice cold, I’ll even drink it lukewarm. Even though my preference is for black coffee, I will drink it with milk and with a shot of liquor in it if on offer. As long as it tastes like coffee I’m happy.
I regularly catch up with friends over coffee and have at least 5 loyalty cards for local coffee shops. There’s even a coffee kiosk on my daily walking route to the gym. I stop for one every day after my workout.

That's spooky! I've been collecting tea themed crafts for a round up for a little while now! Tea is my thing, I'm afraid I only like coffee in a coffee cake or a coffee cream (yes, I'm the weird person who likes coffee creams!) That said I can appreciate the loveliness of these coffee themed crafts, even if I can't appreciate the beverage!
