Regular coffe drinker here ... usually with friends, rarely alone.

Anyways, normally a machiatto ... a big cup goes here at about 1$ (a small one goes at about .75$, of course, the prices are like that if you know where to go) ... and that's the good stuff. The fact that Italy is just on the other side of the coast has absolutely nothing to do with it.

Although, according to the Americans I've talked with, the stuff popular here is strong enough to melt through a table. Just the way I like it.

Putting milk into an espresso would send an Italian (a real one, not an ersatz American-Italian) into fits, and they would know immediately that they were dealing with a North-American.

I don't drink coffee very often, but there's nothing that beats the pure joy and enlightenment of a cup of coffee, with milk and sugar, on a sunny sunday morning, sitting at the breakfast table with you lovely girlfriend, both still wearing you pyjama.

Ah, life's beautiful!

Do I like coffee? Yup, there's traces of blood in my caffeine-system!

Probably due for a heart attack by now, but get through cups and cups in the day. Milk (never cream), no sugar - gave that up 20 years ago and now find sweetened coffee totally undrinkable. Instant coffee at work (can't spend too much time away from the desk, you know....) but the perc goes on as soon as I get home of an evening.

Tea really doesn't do it for me (looks around to check he has genuine British genes....) except the occasional green tea when I'm in a worrying about health phase

Capuccino is the cream of coffees, best experienced in a gentle Tuscan evening at a pavement cafe whilst all the local beauties are promenading. But it'd have to be a damn fine view to justify $3 a cup.

I'm terribly grumpy in the mornings, so have to have at least two cups of coffee before my first conversation of the day

So much so that at one place of work, early morning visitors to my office made me coffee to bring in with them. Now some may accuse me of abusing the gullibility of my co-workers, but it worked

Seconding Beirut's approval, now that's a man who conquered the world with all its wealth. May you be together for long

Good Lord, show me a day.

Thank you guys

.

Best part of it : I'm going to marry that lovely girl next week, on saturday. I hope for a long life with plenty of sunny sundays, hopefully blessed with some nice children in the nearest future possible.

If there's one thing I'm willing to learn my yet to be born children, then it is to enjoy those simple but o so beautiful things as a cup of coffee on a sunny sunday morning in good company.

Wow that was great news to hear, Andres. If it wasn't coffee, we wouldn't be hearing that, right?

So that in addition to my previous wishes, may you have healthy kids that are as much to found a football club.

Life can only be handled when you can enjoy a cup of coffee to its fullest.
