What's your preference?

What's your preference?...coffee, tea or me?...lol
No seriously! Do you like coffee, tea or coco? There are so many choices these days! Do you like a latte, cappuccino, espresso, regular coffee, ice coffee, coffee shakes, mint tea, green tea, herbal teas, Earl grey, chamomile or a rich cup of cocoa? Do you like to add raw sugar, brown sugar, regular sugar, sugar cubes or sweetener? Do you like milk or cream or do you like it black? Do you like whip cream, caramel, mocha, flavour shots or marshmallows?....yummy!...so many options!

I like a tall mild coffee with cream and brown sugar. Sometimes I take it with a shot of hazelnut and occasionally I treat myself with whip cream and caramel. In the Summer I love coffee shakes.

I am Canadian and I live in Toronto. There's coffee shops on every other corner. We have a number of chains here...Starbucks, Tim Hortons, Second Cup,...just to name a few. Seems as though people have their favourites. My favourite is Tim Hortons but I prefer the atmosphere in Starbucks. Tim Hortons does not provide a comfortable place to sit down while Starbucks does. I've had coffee in many countries and each place I've had coffee has been a new experience. In Indonesia my coffee came in a pot and there was mud at the bottom. The coffee was excellent! In Thailand the coffee is served strong and in a small glass. I use to burn my fingers on the glass and if I hadn't had anything to eat, the coffee would upset my stomach. I remember having coffee on a trek into the jungle in Thailand. The guides cooked up some coffee on an open fire and it tasted burnt.

Where have you had coffee?
