      Valentina, I love how you’ve taken coffee beyond just a morning pick-me-up! Those coffee-infused dishes, from desserts to steaks, sound incredible, I’m especially intrigued by that balsamic coffee flank steak. Definitely inspiring me to experiment with coffee in the kitchen beyond the usual cup!
