“Plane converted into coffee shop for those who really miss traveling” by Yahoo! Sports
Commercial flights in Thailand are temporarily banned as the country battles its own Corona virus pandemic.

I wonder if they serve Thai iced coffee.

New Quiz Result Page
The best quiz is one where you find out more about yourself in the end. And that is what we wanted to achieve with this update. We modified the quiz result page to improve visibility, clarity of choice and to expand the choice the user has. We improved the layout and UI but also added a version of the “All Coffees” page below the main result. Of course with the correct filters selected to reflect your choices in the quiz. Convenient, right? Give her a whirl!
Coffee Recipe of the Month
Thai Iced Coffee
The summer might be over but there’s something innately human about wanting to hold on to good things even though time passes. So we bring you a final iced coffee recipe for the year. And since we mentioned that Thai airplane café this recipe links perfectly with the theme of this newsletter. Maybe we already miss our vacations, maybe we couldn’t go to that perfect beach vacation because of the pandemic. Either way this Thai iced coffee will certainly make you feel like you are reclining on a sunbed in a sunny beach resort somewhere in Asia. Pure bliss!
