The surprising truth about "Dead Eye Coffee" – and what our Amsterdam workation taught us

September 25th, 2024 - Our K&A Days in Amsterdam were an incredible blend of productivity, team bonding, and exploring the city’s unique charm. Here’s a quick recap of what stood out:

Coworking at Ruby Luuk Workspace: 

From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. The team was incredibly accommodating, making all the admin and logistics effortless, so we could focus on what mattered most – our work. The bright, thoughtfully designed space gave us room to think, collaborate, and get things done.

Dinner at The Lobby Fizeaustraat: 

After a full day, this restaurant was the perfect spot to relax and enjoy some amazing food, just a short walk from our hotel. A welcoming atmosphere, five-star dishes, and a chance to reflect on the day made it a highlight.

Amsterdam adventures:

- Cruising through the canals gave us a whole new view of the city – a true must-do

- Watching the sunset from the Lookout Tower was an awe-inspiring way to wrap up a busy day

- And in between, we made time for some important internal discussions – from refining our application and onboarding process to planning for the Christmas season. It was a valuable opportunity to align as a team and set our sights on the future

Now, about that "Dead Eye Coffee"... As we shared our caffeine habits with a friendly Uber driver, he was shocked to hear that Christoph starts his mornings with three espressos. For those not in the know, a "Dead Eye Coffee" is essentially a regular coffee with three shots of espresso – and while Christoph might not mix his caffeine quite that way, it turns out he’s been living the "Dead Eye" lifestyle all along. The rest of us? A bit more moderate.
