At a roadblock deep in the night, our bus is stopped. Everyone is sleepy. Men in uniform look intently at passports and our faces. Then they only take our passports and do not return. The bus has to wait and wait.

The Boot Coffee Game is always exciting, because the winners are chosen blind. It was pure coincidence that Mrs. Van Stralen is from Baarn and has been drinking Boot's coffee faithfully for years. "When we go somewhere for coffee, we always check to see if they serve Boot Koffie there," said Mrs. Van Stralen. She is clearly a real aficionado!

The weather is lovely and time to go outside. Personally, I like to drink coffee outdoors. A moment of rest and enjoyment in nature. Sometimes you can get a cup of coffee at a catering establishment, but more often there is no possibility to drink (good) coffee in these kind of remote places. That's why I always bring my own coffee!

Early this month was the anniversary day at the coffee shop in Baarn; Boot Koffie exists 50 years! 50 years ago it was already extremely unique to start a business in coffee that puts quality and the farmer's life first. The anniversary was celebrated grandly with various activities, such as (coffee) bag races and a coffee roasting demonstration (what a wonderful smell!).

On Thursday evening I was a spectator at the Coffee Show in Job's coffee room. A coffee bar in Leusden where you can normally go for breakfast, lunch, a cozy drink and.... of course a good cup of coffee. Job's was transformed into a theater on this evening.

My opinion? Go see this for yourself. This is for everyone who likes coffee. For young and old. In any case, I enjoyed it, to the fullest!
