Blogevent: Coffee Recipes and Giveaway

This is an unusual blog post, I am hosting a blog event about coffee! I am inviting all food bloggers to take part in this all throughout of October. I am asking bloggers to publish recipes that do contain coffee/espresso as one ingredient. It can be instant coffee, strong espresso, coffee, or reduced coffee syrup. Whatever form or shape you use coffee in, feel free to join this blog event in October 2025. It doesn’t matter if you are thinking of something savory or sweet, if you add coffee to a sauce or have it as the main ingredient, as long as you use it in your recipe, you can take part. Additionally, there will be a giveaway. I will randomly select one winner among the participants and gift this person 700 grams of coffee of his/her choice (can be two varieties) from the online shop Pacandé. Pacandé is a coffee roaster based in Munich, Germany and they only sell Colombian coffee beans. I personally love them so that is why I felt compelled to gift this to one winner. I have to say, since I visited a coffee place in Colombia in 2027 and saw with my own eyes how to harvest, dry and roast coffee, I drink each cup of coffee differently. I am more aware and I enjoy it more.

The pictures you see here stem from the journey we did in 2017 in Colombia. I got to see how coffee is grown in Colombia, we went to a coffee plantation close to Armenia, Colombia and saw how coffee beans are harvested, dried, and roasted. I can definitely tell that I drink coffee differently now. I pay much more attention nowadays where my coffee beans are from, if they were traded fairly, and I have been trying to reduce my coffee consumption. Instead of drinking coffee endlessly, I drink each cup savoring it. Did you know that October 1 is the international day of coffee? I didn’t until now. For that reason I thought it would be great to celebrate coffee all throughout October with other food bloggers. Please see the details below for the blog event:

If the winner is not based in Germany, I will figure out how to go about this, but hopefully this is not the reason for you not to take part in the blog event
