You can learn a lot about someone's coffee habits. How much sugar, how much milk. How much... whiskey.


    - Shall I put rum in the coffee?
    - Sure.


> - Shall I put coffee in the rum?

FTFY


So it turns out I love espresso, but I don't drink alcohol. Does that put me in the "freak of nature" category?


No. You're wonderful. But... don't tell anybody we said that.


Who drinks plain coffee? Latte, espresso, chai - single or double shot - soy or low-fat, the list goes on and on!


I'd say about half the people in the Netherlands drink their coffee "gewoon" ("just")! Add too much milk and it's officially "verkeerd" (wrong). As in, coffee machines in petrol stations have a "koffie verkeerd" button, presumably for foreign truckers from far off lands where they spoil their delicious hot beverage with... (blegh) milk.


Speaking of spoiling delicious beverages with milk, have you heard what the English do to their tea?


If you have tea that strong you are going to want to temper it with some milk.


If you drink good coffee it's amazing all by itself.


Our whole team interviewed a guy at a local restaurant over lunch. Normally the interviewee would order something simple because we'd be grilling them pretty hard... but this guy ordered the yak. What did it mean?!!?
