Tristan

In the past, Guangzhou famous music DJ, studied in France for three years, and wrote a travel essay "the Beach of the Future". The coffee country that has just visited this year is Cuba.

The most commonly used coffee cup: 3oz's espresso cup

Recommended coffee shop: when I was studying in Paris, I most often went to two left bank cafes-Shuanggero and Flower God. Recently, there is a new film about Beaufort and her lover, which is filmed in the Cafe of Flower God. In Guangzhou, I will build Cheris on sixth Road, which is not a special place for coffee, but the perfect time is afternoon tea, because there are very authentic French desserts.

People who follow Tristan Weibo are mostly for the purpose of reading travel notes-I often think so, but the last sentence that impressed me most on Tristan Weibo was "No work, No death". This year he left for a short trip to Spain, Iceland and Cuba, without even a suitcase to be checked, or even an iPhone photo for the entire trip.

"how are you going to introduce me? Fashionable white-collar workers or best-selling writers? " Tristan, who had just returned to work, asked me. Then he showed up at the Trojan Cafe dressed in black and sunglasses, with binoculars around his neck-and at night he went to the Grand Theater to watch the flamenco dance. In any case, Parisian patients usually have endless topics about cafes.

The days of studying in Paris are the days of spending time in cafes, to say the least, the frequency of going to cafes is high. "but I often drink and go standing up. In a cafe in Paris, a cup of coffee standing up costs 1 euro. Sitting down costs more than two euros, which is twice the price. In spite of this, there is still no takeout of coffee in Paris, and there is no way to drink a large cup. For the French, a cup of coffee is standard black coffee without sugar and milk, without so much trouble. "

It really started in Paris to make coffee a part of life. Be sure to drink coffee in the morning and have a cup after dinner. There are coffee makers in every office. There are several kinds of coffee in some offices. Coin-operated ones, such as capsule coffee, are more expensive, but they taste better. Tristan also has a lot of coffee machines at home. "there used to be a Philips Senseo, which looked good, but you had to use a standard coffee bag and you had to carry it back from Europe. It was too troublesome." After discovering that there was no trouble with handmade coffee, he began to switch to a small mocha pot and believed that the best cup of coffee was made by himself. At home, he makes a cup of black coffee every day and drinks it in an espresso cup.

"I want to emphasize that I am not a coffee player, but a coffee drinker." I once tried to be entertained at a friend's house and spent more than two hours making him a cup of coffee, which drove him crazy. "not to mention the fact that it's not delicious."

"to put it colloquially, I don't drink coffee." Coffee time must be in a good mood. He often recalls the open-air cafe in Paris, which is unique to Paris. As long as there is a little sunshine, everyone has to sit out. There was an old French lady who dressed herself up and sat there drinking coffee. "there are two very important things about drinking coffee in Paris, that is to look at people and be looked at."

It turns out that the sunglasses specially worn by Tristan also have the story of a cafe. In a coffee shop on the New Bridge in Paris, he once encountered such an unforgettable scene, "when I was sitting waiting for someone, I was facing the backlight, so it was necessary to wear sunglasses." There are two people in the script, very vividly, I have been hiding behind the sunglasses to read.

In China, the most unforgettable memory of the cafe is the time of carving in Beijing 11 years ago, where he remembers the wall full of books and a lazy cat. Cats are important for cafes, says Tristan. You need some emotional bond to stay there, and then go back next time. In the Trojan Cafe, there happens to be a cat. If you are lazy, the large cup of coffee has already cooled down.
