Italian efficiency when it comes to coffee should be studied.

In Italy:
- Walk into a bar and look at the guy
- Un caffe
- 30 seconds later it’s ready
- Shoot it
- Leave €1
- Walk out

In the US:
- Join a line
- Wait
- Order coffee
- Answer 12 questions: Size? Milk? Roast? Sugar? Temperature? Colombia beans? Name? How do you spell it?
- $12.34
- Ask for a 20% tip. Click 5 times on a ipad to have a custom tip
- Tap phone
- ask where to send the invoice
- Wait again on a different line
- Someone call a name that sounds similar to mine
- get the coffee
- too hot, can't drink it
- finally at temperature

taste like shit

[Balkan & Beyond @BalkanAndBeyond]

In the West, coffee is a 5-minute fuel stop. In the Balkans, it’s a 3-hour therapy session, a business meeting, and a family reunion. ☕️
If you’re invited “na kafu,�� it’s never just about the caffeine. It’s a sacred social contract.
Here are some things you might not know about the Balkan coffee ritual:

☕️ Someone would call it "Turkish coffee", but it's not. While inherited from the Ottomans, the method is different. In the Balkans, coffee is often added after the water boils, creating a richer foam. It's called domestic (domaća) or homemade.

☕️ The Art of 'Ćejf' (Pronounced 'Cheyf'): This is the soul of the ritual. It’s a concept that doesn’t translate to English. It means the specific pleasure of dedication to the moment; savoring the coffee slowly, oblivious to the world, and just being. Rushing is the ultimate sin against Ćejf!

☕️The 3-Cup Rule: Traditionally, you don't just have one. The first is for welcome (Razgalica), the second is for conversation (Razgovorica), and the third is a gentle hint that it's time to go (Sikteruša, literally, the "get lost" coffee).

☕️The Sugar Cube Snobbery: You don’t just drop the sugar in. Real connoisseurs take a bite of the sugar cube (or rahat lokum) first, hold it under the tongue, and then drink the potent coffee through it. This balances the bitterness perfectly.

[Chess Feed @chess_feed]

When you start a chess game, you have 20 moves available (16 for pawn and 2 for one knight). After completing the first movement you have more than 40 different possibilities. And 8900 in the third and 197740 in the fourth. In the 40s there will be 10 puissance 40 possibilities. Number corresponds to the number of atoms in the universe. This is what make chess more magical.
