Coffee meme found at White Thoughts
Your first cup, when do you drink it?
We have strict priorities to be observed in this house. First bathroom (usually accompanied by two lady cats), then cats’ breakfast must be served. Then I usually put the coffee on so it can brew itself while I take the dog out. I get my coffee a.s.a.p. after that.
How many cups a day do you drink?
Unless I go out and have any extras in a cafe, I ration myself to three.
Decaf or real?
It’s not really coffee without the caffeine.
Sugar, milk or cream?
(Soya) milk only.
Your favourite way of brewing?
I do agree that the Moka Express stovetop coffee maker produces excellent coffee and, they are the most common here in Spain still, but in practice I find them a bit of a fiddle and tend to use an electric filter coffee maker instead. I wish I could find another single cup version.
With whom do you prefer to enjoy your coffee?
Me!
Your favourite brand?
Cafe Coronas. It’s 100% natural, distributed in Tenerife and it’s cheap.
Where do you prefer to drink your coffee?
No particular preference.
What does your favourite cup look like?
A plain white mug.
Espresso, Cappuccino or Latte Macchiato?
This is Spain, coffee does come in many varieties, but we don’t really go in for all these fashionable names and variations. People also don’t seem to have set preferences and rather, drink different types of coffee at different times of the day; cafe con leche (coffee with milk) for breakfast; a small, black espresso after a meal and so forth.
Favourite occupation while drinking coffee?
None in particular, but it does follow that I normally bring my coffee to the computer when I begin what passes for work each day.

What no Cortado in tenerife?
Oh yes, plenty of it and cortado leche leche is one of my vices. Actually, I was thinking of it when I wrote varieties and so forth, but I just decided not to complicate the issue for the visitors from outside who won’t have heard of it.
ok, I know nothing about the islands so I wondered if you were a cortado free zone
Oh we are definitely a cortado zone out in these remote islands. You mentioned what we call “cortado natural”, with normal milk. Do you also have “cortado leche leche” with the thick, sticky condensed milk in it too? That’s the local passion in the cortado department.
