"The Taste of Memories
Grateful for being able to drink my favorite coffee whenever I want"
📷 NIKON CORPORATION NIKON D750
Comment by Kou.
I was moved not only by the photo but also by the words "Grateful for being able to drink my favorite coffee whenever I want." It was delightful to see the recognition that drinking coffee is not taken for granted but is a happiness. A cup of coffee exists on the thoughts of many people, from the coffee growers to the transporters, and I believe this gratitude brought about this beautiful photo, leading me to select it.

"Coffee at Camp"
Comment by Kenta
Considering the concept of the project as a tool to share community with family and friends, the image of drinking coffee at a camp, not alone but with several people, felt wonderful. The rising steam suggests that the coffee is about to be ready, and the idea of drinking coffee in a chilly environment often makes it taste even better. It looked delicious and made me want to drink it. Holding a warm coffee while chatting also came to mind, and as summer ends, such a season is approaching. Coffee made by someone else feels more delicious due to the thought put into it, and as someone who usually makes coffee, I found it very appealing. Thank you.
We will send a wonderful gift from Allpress Espresso, recommended by Kou, to toshi_cc, and from FUK COFFEE, recommended by Kenta, to shinbee.
*We may contact the winners to ask for personal information such as addresses from the cizucu team.
Summary
How was it? Many works were submitted this time, each with different approaches. Some used latte art to appeal visually, while others expanded olfactory imagination with steam or gas domes during dripping. Some focused on creating spaces using coffee tools and cups, while others depicted people, sparking imagination about the situation of drinking coffee. The individuality was evident, and just looking at the submissions was enjoyable.
Through the contest, some may have realized the high affinity between coffee and photography, which they casually drank every day. We look forward to your participation in future contests💡
