time for getting warm & cozy - with new gorgeous cups & mugs by Bastion Collection NL
December it is! It stays dark long and gets colder at night, the sun still makes it through for some hours during the day to make a nice walk in the park or at the beach… perfect timing for a delicious cup of coffee, cappuccino, latte, tea, hot chocolate or s’mores.
I am a total coffee lover and addict and after our trip to Costa Rica I find it even more important. The world of coffee over there was just magnificent and very educational. We visited many coffee farms, but this one coffee farmer “golden beans” impressed us the most. What we tasted there was sensational. I had no idea about the whole sience behind coffee making and it was pretty eye opening. So when our good friend and witness told us he is finally opening up his online coffee platform - beanzz - we were super excited to taste all those special coffee he has chosen to offer over the last year. And there it was… having great coffee makes you in need of a good coffee maker, so I thought we might as well get our first real espresso machine with porta filter… new project for Christmas to figure out how to use it… with all the new regulations in place due to Corona we have plenty of time :)
But in my case there is more to it than “just” the right coffee and the right machine… It has to be served in a beautiful cup or mug to entirely fullfill my own perfect moment.
Do you remember when you were in a nice cafe with delicious coffee served in gorgeous cups? Didn’t it just tasted so much better? I would say it absolutley did!
Now of course you could say, it would have tasted the same out of an ordinary cup. I disagree, speaking for myself there is so much more to the perfect experience than what’s inside… the outside/packaging plays a big roll for me. Drinking any of your favourite drinks out of a beautiful cup/mug will have an affect on you, maybe subconsciously, but it will have one.
Therefore when I saw those cups and mugs from Bastion Collection I just had to have them… along the way I figured that they were actually Dutch which was even a better fit. As always I tested some myself and had many of those “perfect moments” how I call it and I just had to buy some more to give them to my closest friends. And very fast I figured they would fit greatly in the me & mia assortment and here we are…. you can buy them now also!
I chose the cups and mugs in all kind of sizes which I simply loved the most. Whether you buy one for yourself for the perfect moment every morning or if you want to gift it to someone you like or love - I hope you will enjoy your favourite hot drink out of them as much as I do and that it creates that smile on your face as it does with me!
Ciao
Your me & mia team
