Description

*Coffee Secrets* is a book that discovers hidden coffee hotspots located throughout the eight provinces, far removed from the bustling city of Seoul with its ten million inhabitants. Author Yang Seon-hee, who runs the online magazine *Coffee Times*, spent over two years personally visiting and reporting on more than 100 coffee houses to carefully select 22 establishments that represent South Korea. You can encounter coffee houses where they hand-drip brewing is done using beans hand-picked and roasted, as well as places where a warm voice announces that your coffee is ready.

Just seven or eight years ago, there weren't this many coffee shops, and people who drank the same coffee at places like Starbucks or Caffe Bene were nicknamed "doenjang-nyeo" (materialistic women). Nowadays, however, coffee shops are packed so tightly that there is one every other house. It no longer feels strange to see office workers holding a cup of takeout coffee in their hands after lunch. As one of those office workers myself, whenever I hit a slump in my work life, I often think about

Coffee seems to be enjoyed in truly diverse forms. In South America, people primarily enjoy drinking coffee mixed with milk, known as "Café con leche." In Italy, people enter pubs—which can be found anywhere—and pour a generous amount of sugar into an espresso, gulping it down in one go. As such, coffee has been loved in various ways across diverse regions for a long time. Each culture possesses a coffee culture suited to its own history, to the extent that it is impossible to say what is right

A place where the charm of coffee shines through. When I was young, the coffee adults drank looked incredibly delicious. I don't know if there is any basis for this saying, but because of the belief that drinking coffee makes you less smart, I couldn't drink it during my childhood; and precisely because I couldn't drink it, it became a favorite beverage I craved even more. There was a time in high school when I would fill a thermos with instant coffee mix to study in the library and drink

Coffee Secrets~ I was initially intrigued simply because it is a book about coffee. In the past, I thought instant coffee mixes were all there was at best, but nowadays, even those instant coffees come in such a wide variety that it is fun to choose. Last time, I drank a single-serve drip coffee. Although it is quite expensive compared to coffee mixes or other instant coffees, I enjoyed it even more because the subtle aroma filled the room when I tore open the packet and brewed it. Come to

I like coffee. That doesn't mean I know a lot about it. If you asked me why I like it... I think I would hesitate. That is because I believe coffee is quite subjective to me. Isn't coffee a story? Coffee and people. Coffee is a dream, a memory, and a fragrance. It is the story of the person who makes it, and the story of the person who seeks it. Surely, there is also a story behind the old-fashioned dabang coffee, with its sweet blend of sugar and creamer. At “Coffee Bikyeong”, they serve

Sharing coffee means becoming friends. Upon encountering poet Yang Seon-hee’s *Coffee Scenery*, having not been able to go out for a proper outing in a long time, I felt as though I had traveled through her book to coffee-filled scenic spots all across the country. The book fully captures the poet’s passion for people, nature, and coffee, and her exceptional writing skills make me feel happy and enchanted, as if I were meeting a lover. I want to make time someday to go on an outing with a loved

Do you happen to know? Among Director Lee Myung-se's films, there is one titled *First Love*. As you can see in the photo, it stars Kim Hye-soo, who still possesses a youthful beauty; personally, I believe it is the Korean film that best captures the essence of "first love." While the film's setting is set in the past, the overall atmosphere is dominated by the wistfulness of longing for the past. The colors of the creatures and the setting are muted. It feels like discovering an old photo

'Hello!! This is Geonnyang^^' 'Coffee Scenery: 22 Roasting Houses Nationwide Where You Can Taste the Coffee of the Gods' I used to have a strong perception that coffee was a tea that made my heart race and gave me a headache, but after brewing my own beans recently, I found it to be clean and refreshing, and I finally understood why people drink it. Especially when eating cake, the drinks I usually have are so sweet that my mouth feels numb afterwards, but drinking it with coffee was great
