I do indeed like coffee.  At home it is generally made from home ground 
beans in a cafetiere.  There are a plethora of coffee shops in the UK, 
which I rarely use.  Rumour has it some of them actually manage to serve 
something palatable that has a resemblance to coffee.

Coffee is the default beverage, with or without a meal, although weekend 
evening meals are usually accompanied by a glass of grape juice <winky 
thing>
