Zagrebačka zora je bila hladna i svježa, a snijeg je lagano prekrivao ulice.

The Zagrebačka dawn was cold and fresh, and snow gently covered the streets.

Ivana i Klara hodale su ručno uglačanim pločnicima prema poznatoj pržionici kave s osmijehom.

Ivana and Klara walked hand in hand on the polished sidewalks towards a well-known coffee roastery with smiles on their faces.

Ispred njih, mali izlog ispunjen svjetlom i mirisima mamio je prolaznike.

In front of them, a small shop window filled with light and scents enticed passersby.

Ušavši unutra, dočekao ih je topao zrak i miris svježeg kave.

Upon entering, they were greeted by warm air and the aroma of fresh coffee.

Drveni pultovi bili su prekriveni šarenim vrećicama s uzorcima zrna kave iz raznih krajeva svijeta.

Wooden counters were covered with colorful bags featuring coffee bean patterns from various parts of the world.

Ivana je bila oduševljena.

Ivana was delighted.

Oči su joj sjajile dok je tražila savršenu mješavinu.

Her eyes shone as she searched for the perfect blend.

Petar, menadžer pržionice, stajao je iza pulta s rukama prekrštenim na prsima.

Petar, the manager of the roastery, stood behind the counter with his arms crossed on his chest.

Njegov osmijeh bio je pomalo nadmen, ali očito je poznavao svoje zrnce kave.

His smile was somewhat smug, but it was clear he knew his coffee beans.

"Dobar dan, dame", reče on, "što tražite danas?

"Good day, ladies," he said, "what are you looking for today?"

""Tražim nešto posebno", rekla je Ivana samouvjereno.

"I'm looking for something special," Ivana said confidently.

"Nešto što će impresionirati moju grupu za kušanje kave.

"Something that will impress my coffee tasting group."

"Petar je kimnuo.

Petar nodded.

"Imamo rijetke mješavine, ali nisu jeftine", upozorio je.

"We have rare blends, but they're not cheap," he warned.

Ivana je bila spremna za izazov.

Ivana was up for the challenge.

"Znam točno što tražim", rekla je i pokazala na zrna Etiopije Yirgacheffe.

"I know exactly what I'm looking for," she said and pointed to the Ethiopia Yirgacheffe beans.

"Ova mješavina ima cvjetne tonove s notama citrusa i meda.

"This blend has floral tones with notes of citrus and honey."

"Petar je podignuo obrve.

Petar raised an eyebrow.

"Znaš o čemu govoriš", priznao je, iako uz malu dozu skeptičnosti.

"You know what you're talking about," he admitted, albeit with a hint of skepticism.

"Ali su skupa.

"But they're expensive."

"Klara, praktična kao uvijek, uključila se.

Klara, ever practical, chimed in.

"Ivana, možda bismo trebale pronaći kompromisnu mješavinu koja je unutar našeg budžeta.

"Ivana, maybe we should find a compromise blend that's within our budget."

"Ivana nije odustajala.

Ivana didn't give up.

"Ovaj vikend je važno okupljanje.

"This weekend is an important gathering.

Ova kava će ih zadiviti", rekla je, a strast u njezinom glasu bila je neporeciva.

This coffee will impress them," she said, and the passion in her voice was undeniable.

Petar je vidio odlučnost u očima mlade entuzijastkinje.

Petar saw the determination in the young enthusiast's eyes.

U namjeri da je testira, ponudio je: "Ako mi opišeš cijeli profil okusa do kraja, dobit ćeš mali uzorak.

Intending to test her, he offered, "If you describe the entire flavor profile to the end, you'll get a small sample."

"Ivana je uzela izazov.

Ivana took on the challenge.

S glatkim riječima ljubitelja kave, opisala je bogatstvo okusa, težinu tijela i finese završnih nota.

With the smooth words of a coffee lover, she described the richness of flavor, the body weight, and the finesse of the finishing notes.

Petar je bio impresioniran.

Petar was impressed.

"Vidim da si prava znalica.

"I see you're a true connoisseur.

Ovo je malo za tebe", rekao je, pružajući joj vrećicu uzorka.

This is little for you," he said, handing her a sample bag.

"Ali izvoli i pomiješaj je s našom robusta mješavinom.

"But here you go, and mix it with our robusta blend.

Biće još bolje.

It will be even better."

"Ivana i Klara napustile su pržionicu s osmijehom i vrećicama u ruci.

Ivana and Klara left the roastery with smiles and bags in hand.

Osjećaj uspjeha grijao je Ivanino srce dok su izlazile van na hladni zrak.

A feeling of success warmed Ivana's heart as they stepped outside into the cold air.

Ivana nije samo pronašla savršenu kavu, već i stekla novo povjerenje u svoje sposobnosti.

Ivana not only found the perfect coffee but also gained new confidence in her abilities.

Naučila je kako uravnotežiti svoju strast i praktičnost, spremna za sve izazove koji slijede.

She learned how to balance her passion and practicality, ready for any challenges ahead.

Zagreb je toga dana osvanuo još malo svjetliji, a topao napitak čekao je da ugrije zimske dane.

Zagreb appeared a bit brighter that day, and a warm drink awaited to warm the winter days.
