May I ask what your favourite coffee is?

Almost all kind!

The least favorite is brewed coffee I think. But my favorite would be cappuccino during cold days and cappuccino freddo during summer. Favorite (and for me the best!) espresso is Illy. I also like Lavazza.

If I am at home I prefer Nes. That's how we call it in Greece. Basically is Nescafe but we don't just add hot water and stir. We put the coffee, sugar and a little hot water and we stir it with a coffee mixer until you get foam. Then you add the rest of hot water and milk (if you want). It looks like this http://oi60.tinypic.com/v6kzn9.jpg And during summer it's frappe. Same procedure as "Nes" but you add cold water and ice.

That's great! I work in a coffee shop and I make so many cappuccinos and espressos every day. Maybe you'd like mine too

that instant Nescafé looks yum! I will try it like that
