How do you like your coffee?

[spotanjo3]

Not sure, regarding Portugal I've mostly heard of the good cheap coffee from people from Spain and Portugal.
I myself have been multiple times in Spain and Italy, but not in Portugal.
(Yeah, I should visit Portugal some time... but not in Summer, South Europe is a PITA in summer, I remember melting down in Madrid and Palermo)

In Spain I think I don't really move like a tourist, not really. In Italy probably a little, but still I got great coffee for 1€.

Now, regarding Germany...
I live in Germany since 7 years ago, the places I go are not tourist areas, the shitty coffee at expensive prices is the one a local gets.
If you go to tourists areas expect coffee to be probably more expensive and still shitty.

PS: My suggestion, don't visit Germany for the coffee. Just come here for the beer and sausages. (and in that regard, don't expect good food either because it just does not exist, the beer is good though)

I understand. You should visit Portugal.

By the way, where were you before you moved to Germany ?

By the way, I hope one day I will visit Germany. Love Europe. Its in my blood. No worries.. I always go to my country and Europe for the beers and wine, lol. I am not into sausages.. Too greasy but thanks.

I am originally from Argentina, though I have Spanish dual citizenship due to my mother being from Spain... and that makes staying here easier really.

That's cool! Hope you enjoy your staying for 7 years in Germany. Do you speak Germany very well ? I bet there are several McDonald's and Burger King, no ?

There are many McDonalds and Burger Kings, but if you ask me I would say the most popular junk food here is Döner Kebab, by far. You could probably find a Döner place on every corner.

Regarding German... I wouldn't say I speak it very well (I am starting to believe I will never speak it like a native, I think I kind of sound like an idiot when I speak), but I do speak it good enough I guess, just like your average Joe that forgets all the time that verbs go at the end of a Nebensatz and keeps using the English/Spanish verb order.

I can't stand plain coffee without milk and do not make coffee at home. I usually visit a coffee shop and order some Latte.
Coffee is kind of lottery for me. I may get some energy after drinking it or vice versa feel totally sleepy.

Cool. Never heard of Döner and is it better than McDonals and Burger Kings ? LOL!

Do you have family in Germany or your family in Spain nor Argentina ? Curiosity. And what made you want to live in Germany instead of Spain (your mom)?

Doner Kebab is great, but it's probably like 50% fat.

I have family in Spain and Argentina, but not in Germany. Here I have a couple of friends and not much more.

As to why I decided to stay in Germany instead of Spain, I would say work: it's easier to find well paid work and move forward in my field here... but I admit I feel much more at home in Spain, that's perhaps the reason I go on holidays there so often.

PS: super derail.

I understand. Well, enjoy your staying in Germany. And Spain. Cheers.

Black as my heart.

I can relate to this, although i only drink black coffee on the second Thursday of March.
Every other day i just drink a dark roast with a bit of sugar.

 

[mariopepper]

always with milk. I hate black coffee without nothing

 

[Alexander1970]

When i drink coffee i like it
with milk (hot and foamy) and sugar and not to "heavy".

 

[fiis]

Not a caffeine drinker, but when I need to get work done, 6oz of regular black coffee with some milk to balance it out. Thats it

 

[bitjacker]

I have been putting star anise in my coffee (break it up and put it in the k cup thing you can use grounds in) the last few weeks. Its actually a good sweetener if you want to avoid sugar.

 

[DeoNaught]

I use a Espresso pot, which is like three shots I think? I put maybe like a half cup of Rice milk, instead of regular milk, has a little sweetness to it, but other than that no sugar

 

[aos10]

Any coffee with foam on it, like cappuccino or anything like it, hate Arabic coffee (even if i am Arabian), it any non sweet with milk coffee.
But if i have to choose between tea or coffee, i will choose tea, or mate.

BTW, this is "Mate":

I don't drink coffee. It makes you useless without it. Total addiction. It also makes vaginal fluids taste like shit.

See, I don’t really agree with that. Most days I drink, in excess of, 5 litres of coffee - nope, that’s not an exaggeration, I actually do. All freshly ground from beans, I have a bean-to-cup machine which is just awesome. I also get most of my beans from a little artisan place which freshly roasts the beans on the actual day they send them to you, so you’re getting the best you possibly can, unless you roast your own - which I am considering.

But I can go days without having a coffee at all and it doesn’t put me up nor down. So this coffee addiction, need it to function nonsense is just that, nonsense.

Maybe if you have an addictive personality, but I don’t, as the dozens of stories I wouldn’t be allowed to put in print would attest to

Hello.

No Coffee drinkers anymore ?

That's enough to kill a man.
Some people don't seem to be affected by caffeine, I guess you're one of them. But there is definitely truth to the addictiveness of it. It can affect your sleep quality if you drink a lot of it or drink it late in the day, which means you never get a proper nights sleep, so every morning you rely on coffee to wake up, plus, you get a tolerance to the caffeine which means you need more of it to wake up.

The Irish way.

I had this do to long time ago,it was one of my former jobs as waiter.....in front of the guests....
Also the famous "Rüdesheimer Coffee".
