Have you ever gone to a cafe and experienced something like this?
"What coffee should I have today?" I thought, standing at the entrance to the cafe and looking at the various options on the menu.
I like the smell and taste of coffee, but I don't know much about different types of coffee.
The menu has so many options that it's hard to choose. Cappuccino, latte, Americano, mocha... I've tried them all, but I just can't find a flavor I really like.
