What Does Your Favourite #Coffee Say About Your Personality? @Nespresso #SouthAfrica

Hi Friends, 

Research has shown that drinking coffee is good for your health. Not only does a couple of cups a day reduce your risk of a heart attack, but even the aroma of a coffee can also make you feel less stressed. But, did you know that the type of coffee you drink can reveal a lot about your personality? A recent study conducted by California State University on 1,000 coffee enthusiasts assessed what types of coffee people typically drank and associated those habits with numerous psychological traits and personality profiles. So, what does the way you take your coffee say about you?

Black Coffee
Black coffee fans are simple, straightforward purists with a clear sense of what they want. People who opt for an Americano tended to be more pragmatic, patient and minimalistic. Of all the participants in the study, black coffee drinkers are more likely to be introverted. They are calm and conscientious but may be prone to moodiness. Your signature Nespresso range:​ Lungo

Espresso
Espresso drinkers are characterised as bold, intense and well-travelled. The character of these coffee lovers tended to mimic the properties of the espresso - strong and complex, ostentatious and assertive. Espresso drinkers are self-assured, hard-working and tend to challenge leadership. They are also more likely to have a fondness for travel. Your signature Nespresso range:​ Espresso
What Does Your Favourite Coffee Say About Your Personality? @Nespresso #SouthAfrica
Cappuccinos and Lattes
The key characteristics of these caffeine aficionados are trendsetting, adventurous, perfectionistic and sensitive. If you have a taste for sweet, frothy coffee varieties, you are more than likely to be extroverted. These creative, honest and motivated people will try anything once and are excellent friends but can be perfectionistic and lose interest quickly. Your signature Nespresso range: ​Ristretto

Flavoured Coffees
People with a penchant for flavoured coffees have been shown to be creative, imaginative, impulsive and prone to stress. They are daydreamers, artists and inventors. Like most creatives, this group tends to be whimsical and impulsive. Sensitive in nature, these coffee drinkers are people-pleasers and can be indecisive. Your signature Nespresso range: ​Variations
What Does Your Favourite Coffee Say About Your Personality? @Nespresso #SouthAfrica
Decaf
Key characteristics of decaf coffee drinkers are cautious, observant and pedantic. Why opt for a decaf? Aside from sensitivities to caffeine, this group reported that they enjoy the taste of coffee but not the effect. This indicates that a decaf drinker tends to seek control - both over themselves and others. These keen observers are confident and know what they want. While composed, decaf drinkers are likely to obsess over the finer details and are prone to worry. Your signature Nespresso range:​ Decaffeinato

Whatever your personality or preference, Nespresso has the perfect coffee to match your taste. Capsules can be purchased from all Nespresso ​boutiques and booths nationwide, or online at www.za.buynespresso.com and through the Nespresso Club​ on 0800 637773.

Starbucks Expands its Footprint to #CapeTown @Starbucks_SA

Hi Friends, 

Starbucks has affirmed its bullish view on the South African market with a bold expansion into Cape Town, scheduled for later this year. This was announced by Adrian Maizey, owner and CEO of Rand Capital Coffee, the custodian of Starbucks in Southern Africa.

“We remain committed to our expansion strategy and vision, which is to provide all South Africans with an extraordinary experience and offering, from both a customer and partner perspective, despite the Covid-19 pandemic.” Maizey refers to Starbucks employees as ‘partners’ in line with the company’s global policy as the term fosters a sense of equality and shared vision, and is consistent with Starbucks’ mission to inspire and nurture the human spirit – one person, one cup and one neighbourhood at a time.

Maizey says that Starbucks’ launch into Cape Town was initially intended to happen in June. “When Covid-19 hit we had to place the initiative on hold, triggering several hard decisions that impacted all partners, and a mass round of lease renegotiations across the country.

“Fortunately, we have resilient partners and we are grateful to those landlords who share our vision and commitment to contribute to the South African economy, and who have worked closely with us to help ensure our expansion was only delayed and not cancelled. It is during such a time of crisis that the importance of collaboration between all stakeholders for the greater good, is most apparent,” says Maizey.

With several leases now in place in the Mother City, and investment initiated in the requisite supply chain, which the company has now brought inhouse, Starbucks Southern Africa is now embarking on building its Cape Town team. Rand Capital Coffee’s expansion journey will initially result in at least 50 permanent new jobs, with the further employment of local artists, construction contractors, and artisans.
Starbucks Expands its Footprint to #CapeTown @Starbucks_SA
Behind the strong Starbucks brand, says Maizey, is its employees. “Our business is strong because of our store partners who have shown up in support of one another and our business in tough times. They will be the ones who take Starbucks South Africa to the next level, and who will be the drivers behind the South African public’s growing passion and enjoyment of this incredible brand.”

On the subject of store design and experience, Maizey says the Cape Town stores “will offer an experience consistent with the values and store atmosphere that Starbucks is known for globally, designed to reflect the most beautiful city of them all.”
Starbucks Expands its Footprint to #CapeTown @Starbucks_SA
Adds Maizey, “We are humbled and delighted to introduce the Starbucks Experience to customers in Cape Town and hope our store will become not only a destination for an exceptional coffee, but also a gathering place for the local community. We look forward to sharing our deep pride and enthusiasm for coffee, brewed and served by a world-class team of passionate, knowledgeable partners with Capetonians and visitors to the city.”

Starbucks began in 1971 as a roaster and retailer of beans, ground coffee, tea and spices, with a single store in Seattle. Today the company connects with millions of customers every day with its own special taste and offering that has seen the company grow to more than 30,000 retail stores in 80 markets.

About Starbucks
Since 1971, Starbucks Coffee Company has been committed to ethically sourcing and roasting high-quality arabica coffee. Today, with over 32,000 stores around the globe, the company is the premier roaster and retailer of specialty coffee in the world. Through our unwavering commitment to excellence and our guiding principles, we bring the unique Starbucks Experience to life for every customer through every cup.

Coffee Connoisseurs are Going Back to Coffee’s Birthplaces #ArabicaEthiopiaHarrar #RobustaUganda @Nespresso

Hi Friends, 
 
For centuries, people across the globe have sought out the wondrous experience of drinking coffee. Coffee has always been so much more than a simple beverage: it is a social experience entrenched in the culture. The celebrational quality of coming together to enjoy a coffee moment and sharing stories, music, conversation and camaraderie is a beloved ritual enjoyed by people from all walks of life.

Now, in an age of contemporary coffee culture, Nespresso is treating coffee lovers to a taste of where it all began. Embark on a journey of discovery to the mythical origins of coffee with two new Limited Edition coffees, Arabica Ethiopia Harrar and Robusta Uganda. Bursting with myth and flavour and immersed in folklore, these Limited Editions take inspiration from the birthplaces of coffee, Ethiopia and Uganda, and the mystical discovery stories around these regions.

THE MYTH OF ARABICA
The Curious Goats
Transport yourself to the ancient highlands of Ethiopia, where the story of Kaldi, a young goat herder begins. He sat in the shade one afternoon and watched over his goats. In the heat of the day, Kaldi drifted off to sleep and left his goats to wander off into the wilderness. The goats discovered and started to eat some red cherries from the bushes.

When Kaldi awoke to find his goats gone, he hastily went in search of them. He found them leaping and dancing around the mysterious bushes. He picked up a cherry and tried it for himself. He too felt elevated and began to dance alongside his goats.
Coffee Connoisseurs are Going Back to Coffee’s Birthplaces #ArabicaEthiopiaHarrar #RobustaUganda @Nespresso
A passing monk was extremely suspicious of the situation and decided to burn these mysterious cherries. Soon after he threw them in the flames, delicious aromas started to rise. Enchanted, the monk brushed the beans out of the fire, crushed them up and combined them with water to make the captivating drink we now know as Arabica coffee.

Arabica Ethiopia Harrar is a delicious espresso with notes of ripe fruits, fresh flowers that boasts a remarkably velvety body. Best enjoyed as an Espresso or a Lungo. Intensity: 5

THE MYTH OF ROBUSTA
The Unity Bond
To discover the alleged birthplace of Robusta, we are in the bygone land of Buganda, now known as Uganda. Here, the precious Robusta coffee beans were part of a sacred ritual that united families. A single coffee cherry would be split and two people would each eat one of the two beans from inside. From that moment onwards, the spirit of the bean would connect both families and descendants for eternity in a pact of friendship and loyalty.
Coffee Connoisseurs are Going Back to Coffee’s Birthplaces #ArabicaEthiopiaHarrar #RobustaUganda @Nespresso
Nespresso believes that the journey of coffee is just as important as the taste and that the heritage that inspires the coffee of today should be celebrated with every sip.

Robusta Uganda is surprisingly sweet and undeniably intense, rich in cacao notes. Best enjoyed as an Espresso or Ristretto. Intensity: 10

Arabica Ethiopia Harrar and Robusta Uganda will be available for a limited period from Nespresso Boutiques and Booths nationwide, as well as the new Booth at Mall of Africa, and through orders from the Nespresso Club on 0800 637773 or online at www.buynespresso.com.

Zuko Discovers True Meaning of Sharing Not On #SocialMedia #ShareGenerous @Mugg_and_Bean

Hi Guys,

While double-tapping a perfect photo, placing a flattering filter over a moment and securing an admirable number of ‘likes’ online is certainly gratifying, can it really compare to the warmth and generosity of human interaction in the real world? Experts agree that while social media may have its place, it is no substitute for the joy of sharing generously of one’s time and attention.

Mugg & Bean is a brand known for giving more, evidenced by their giant muffins and slices of cake, their bottomless coffee and hot chocolate and unhurried, relaxed atmosphere. This season, they are on a mission to bring the real meaning of sharing and generosity back to our everyday lives. “In today’s digital era, the very definition of sharing is becoming lost in the clutter of ‘likes’, filters and perfect camera angles,” says Mugg & Bean Marketing Executive, Jacquie Schultz.

As patrons of Mugg & Bean well know, the simple act of meeting over a bottomless cup of coffee or an indulgent meal invites meaningful conversation, whether it’s between friends, family or business associates – people being generous with their time, sharing real face-to-face connection. This generosity is something aspiring musician Zuko discovered first-hand, when the brand’s marketing team staged a birthday surprise, which realised the true sentiment of birthday wishes her friends sent her for her birthday.
Zuko Discovers True Meaning of Sharing And It's Not On #SocialMedia #ShareGenerous @Mugg_and_Bean
By secretly bringing her family and friends together so they could surprise her and wish her in person while she was on, what she thought was, a normal Mugg & Bean commercial shoot, Zuko experienced the power of true generosity of spirit and sharing. “The rush of warmth I felt when my family arrived in-person to wish me happy birthday cannot be described. I hadn’t seen them for many months and I had to pinch myself to believe this experience was real,” says Zuko.

“When we engage with social media it’s very easy to think that we are maintaining our connection with our loved ones, but the fact of the matter remains that we are simply keeping tabs on them. By ‘liking’ or even ‘loving’ their posts we are not actually engaging with our friends. For me there is nothing like face-to-face human interaction,” adds Zuko.

The poignant moment was captured and turned into a television commercial to convey the importance of reconnecting people in the real world. To further support the local flavour of the advertisement, local award-winning artists, Majozi and Tresor’s latest track The Woods was used as the catchy tune.

“At Mugg & Bean we’re passionate about bringing back the kind of sharing that shows the real meaning of sharing and generosity, which leaves the world feeling more wonderful,” concludes Schultz.

It would seem that Mugg & Bean certainly has a point. Perhaps it is time to welcome a touch of real sharing back into our daily lives. Be part of the movement and #ShareGenerous, so that together with Mugg & Bean, we bring back the true meaning of sharing!

A Memoir - This Month Last Year - June 2015 www.thelifesway.com #TheLifesWay

Hi Guys, 

June in 2015 was the happiest month of my life as I was getting good response as I won the Mission Samsung Blogger Challenge. I got some amazing new gadgets to review and my blog pageviews started rising to cross 100,000. The weather is awesome during this time in Johannesburg but I fell sick with viral because I didn't took care of myself. With something new brewing up and with a lot of hope, I carried on in June 2015. 

1. Product Review - @HuaweiZA MATE7 - Android Phablet - http://www.thelifesway.com/2015/06/product-review-huaweiza-mate7-android.html - I loved the phone/phablet and took some great pictures in Drakensberg using the same. This year also I will be posting the review of the new Huawei Mate 8 in June. I loved the performance of the smartphone and the brand has really taken the world in its arms. 

2. @MercedesBenz_SA #BOKEH Fashion Film Festival - Johannesburg - http://www.thelifesway.com/2015/06/mercedesbenzsa-bokeh-fashion-film.html - Mercedes Benz has their second Fashion Film festival in Joburg and like the previous year, this one was awesome. I sat in the AMG car to reach from the parking and it was simply awesome. The goodies bag too had a Merc pendrive and Keychain. This event is definitely grand year after year.

3. Celebrating Winter Solstice Collection @JCLeRoux - http://www.thelifesway.com/2015/06/celebrating-winter-solstice-collection.html - GC communications invited me for this awesome launch of new products from J C LeRoux and I simply enjoyed the evening with my friends. The goodie bag was a blanket from the brand and I simply loved the same. 

4. Coffee And Chocolate Expo 16 – 19 JULY 2015 #Jozi @montecasinoZA @Coffeechocexpo - http://www.thelifesway.com/2015/06/coffee-chocolate-expo-16-19-july-2015.html - I got this invite from the MonteCasino to be the guest for the launch of the event. Chefs had to make vegetarian food for me but it was super delicious. Also I made some new friends there which are still there for me after a year. Thanks to TsogoSun for inviting me to the event as I took some awesome pictures at the event. 

5. @MicrosoftSA Art Exhibition #SeeTheBigPicture @SandtonCity - http://www.thelifesway.com/2015/06/microsoftsa-art-exhibition.html - Microsoft was one of brands that I loved last year and they loved me too. I posted a lot of reviews and attended several of their events last year. This year I have not been involved with any of their launches which I am surely missing. Looking forward to refresh the relationship with the brand. 

This year I am working on building my posts to reach 1000 and cross 1Million in pageviews which I am sure I will be in the coming months. I have some new ideas to push my blog further so that brands invests their time and money in me. I am also thinking of starting on SnapChat as its already most trended social media channel now a days. Till that time I believe in the best for everyone!

Right Angle makes all the difference

Hi All,

Sometimes in life somethings doesn't seems right unless you see them from the right angle. I was browsing through some of my mobile snaps and found this one really interesting. Check it out! 










This picture will come to the eyes as an everyday coffee template used by all the cafe houses and it will not recognize the beauty of the same.












Seeing the same coffee from this angle not only makes the brand visible and also the leaf design is visible clearly.












In the end, Whatever angle you see the cup of coffee, it doesn't matter as you have hot coffee to drink & that is always tempting!

Cheers!!!
