Grab a virtual coffee with colleagues

In recent weeks, we have all had to adjust to new ways of socializing. Work meetings are being held via video conference. Brunch with friends means pulling up your laptop or tablet instead of a chair. And family meet-ups happen on cellphones instead of in person. Social distancing has certainly inspired us to seek safe and creative ways to stay together.

Here’s something that can enhance the experience. A delicious cup of coffee.

We all have a need for personal connection, now more than ever. What better way to meet, talk or share a laugh than over your favorite dark roast? Made just the way you like it. Regular or decaf. Cappuccino or espresso. Hot or iced. And with your favorite kind of milk.

Transform your work coffee break into a work from home coffee break.

Missing the office water cooler? Grab your cup of joe and use the break time to catch up with co-workers from your laptops. It’s a great opportunity to trade tips and tricks for juggling kids, school work, how to stay healthy, and generally keeping boredom at bay.

Stuck at home is no reason to feel alone.

Stay at home orders have left many of us feeling isolated. But coffee can be a great ice breaker to reconnect. Renew old friendships. Reach out to relatives near and far. Catch up with college friends who you haven’t seen in years. Or join one of thousands of online groups whose members share the same interests you do.

Here’s the bottom line. For many of us, coffee has always been a great way to start the day. Now, it can be one of the best ways to help us get through it.
