Through the Grinder

The setting feels so vivid and inviting—I'm curious whether it was inspired by a personal passion or a love for cafes. Did the environment influence the plot as well?

The story had such a warm vibe, but I found myself wanting a bit more tension. Was this slow pace intentional to build atmosphere or character development?

The descriptions of coffee and baking are so detailed and mouthwatering—I'm wondering if the author has a background in food or just a love for it?
