Hello. I’m Berkok. I like to eat, think and write.
The reason I named this publication after my go-to morning drink is because I recently realised drinking decaf espressos is unusual. Some baristas and coffee shop owners have even made fun of me for my order (also an unusual experience, especially at 9am). Decaf espressos, they said, made no sense because it did not wake you up for the day.
The reason I enjoy decaf espressos is exactly the lack of their functionality. It is purely for the taste of coffee that one subscribes to. So I thought why not name my newsletter (a blog disguised as an e-mail), “decaf espresso” and journal how I try to increase the number of tasteful moments in life.
I’ll be writing about food in all its forms from recipes to tech, about how to navigate life in London, about how I make my life more decaf through small habits and honestly, about whatever I have on my mind that day as long as it will add something to someone else. You will find recipes, maps, guides, recommendations but also questions that I have no answer to, ideas that are just fun to think about while looking at the view behind your screen, and memes - lots of memes.
Subscribe and let’s see where this goes.
