I remembering seeing my parents everyday making their own coffee every morning before heading to work. They take their mugs spoon in some ground coffee, add sugar and maybe some cream. I figure this must be something only adults drink since not once have they offered me a taste. One day, when both my parents were gone, I decided to make my own drink. I felt like such a big girl because I'll be drinking coffee for the first time. I got a mug and added 2 spoonfuls of ground coffee, spoonful of sugar and spoonful of cream. I slowly add hot water and began stirring. It smelled really nice. I took a small sip so that I don't burn my tongue but that one sip was enough to make me gag.
Why didn't anyone tell me to put only 1/4 (or 1/2) spoonful of ground coffee. I seriously thought it'd be the same as making my own Milo or Ovaltine chocolate drink. Needless to say, it took a while before I decided to drink coffee again. 11 years old seemed liked the right age to retry.
Now I drink 2-7 cups a week. Not to stay awake or keep the withdrawal symptoms away. It's just one of my favorite hot drinks. However, despite this classic coffeeholic habits of mine, I actually do not know what the difference between some coffee drinks are. I don't necessarily feel (taste?) that one has a stronger taste than the other. Drip coffee all taste the same to me. Latte and cappuccino do too, except I think cappuccino is foamier.
So I'm really glad to see my sister post this:
It gives me an idea now. Plus this is the first time I heard of doppio. Kinda cool but I'm not sure I'm ready to try it. I do know I am a latte person.
