Signs - Coffee and another birthday

Interesting coffee signs - the first from a Portuguese cafe in Porto, and the last 3 photos from the Concept Cafe at Curtin University in Perth.

I'm not a coffee drinker, preferring herbal teas. In fact I haven't had a coffee in over 18 years, all due to a very strong Brazilian coffee that I drank while visiting a friend of my Mom's. After a short while, my blood pressure must have shot up because I started shaking. Mom and I went home and I went to bed to rest. The result was that even though I love the smell of coffee I can't make myself drink it at all 😕.

For other signs from around the world go to Tom's blog.








And I almost forgot...
Today is my Dad's 87th birthday.  He's still a very active and agile person, loves to sing, dance and his photography hobby.
And yes, our family seems to have a lot of birthdays in March.

      Some people say that Grace. Jose doesn't consider his dinner finished without his espresso.

    Great Coffee Lovers post ~ I gave up coffee for a time but I'm back on again ~ I do like herbal teas too, it's just missing the kick!

      Thanks, I had to get used to no coffee, and it no longer bothers me :)

    I love the smell of coffee and do drink two cups a day. Your experience with Brazilian coffee is strange but maybe it was just too strong. I can't drink espresso because it makes me feel weird so I gave it up. Cool signs, Sami and have a great day.

      Thanks Bill. The Portuguese drink a lot of espressos, my husband has at least 4 or 5 a day.

      The coffee drinkers are the majority, hence all the signs. Thanks Tom.

    Before I go on my tirade about coffee, I want to wish your father a very happy birthday.

    I absolutely LOVE the coffee signs. They are all well thought out and to the point.

    One year I was on vacation and traveling. I failed to get coffee when I should have and woke up the next morning with the worst, most incredible headache I'd ever had. At the time, I took a couple of Advil, which didn't help in the least. I had NO idea my headache was one of being deprived of caffeine. I stopped for coffee and had several cups. It wasn't 30 minutes later and my headache was gone. That was when I learned I had this true addiction.

    I drink coffee 24/7. I drink it right before I go to sleep. I have no trouble falling asleep after I have consumed a cup of coffee. I fear I will always be as addicted as a crack or heroin addict. Thankfully, my addiction is legal.
