Dear coffee addicts on Steemit,

Coffee is said to be the most widely consumed beverage in the world aside from water. But we all know that coffee is more than just a beverage, it is part of a lifestyle, a moment of pleasure and feeling of being at home. Nothing better than a cup of coffee for a coffee junky. :)

This contest is targeted to all the coffee addicts out there. We all know that everything gets better with a cup of coffee in our hands! Coffee can make us feel happier, just smelling it can ease our minds and reduce our stress levels.

So let us honor our daily coffee by hosting and participating this contest!

The following advice is optional, but following it will certainly give you a push forward!

• Submit pictures of coffees on more than 2 consecutive days!
• Make sure that you make every coffee somewhat different - this makes it more interesting.
• It is a big bonus, if one can see you on the picture and if you show some emotions!
• Use different types of coffee! Use different types of preparation, different plant milks, add different spices to add some specialness to it.
