Coffee Lover Interview/Questionnaire

My blog, coffee and camera!

1. What time of day do you usually drink coffee?

It has to be in the morning, shortly after waking up. Usually an espresso or a double one. Then I tend to avoid too much caffeine for the rest of the day but if I need, another espresso or lungo may be drunk around early afternoon or just after lunch.

2. How many cups of coffee do you drink per day?

1, max 2. Very, very rarely 3

3.  Do you prefer going out for coffee or drinking it at home?

Definitely at home. I go out for coffee only on the weekends.

4. What is your favorite coffee drink?

Espresso is the “true” coffee for me and the one I drink the most. I enjoy the occasional cappuccino or macchiato. But if I had to choose one type to drink for the rest of my life, it will surely be espresso.

5. When drinking coffee do you prefer drinking it instantly and quickly or taking your time and enjoying it?

Sort of both. I don’t gulp it down as it would disappear otherwise but I never drink it so slowly as to make it become tepid or even cold. I attempt to savor it and taste it well each time if I can. I try to drink it all at a hot/warm temperature, so I can take around a minute to drink it all (for espresso) or

5-6 for a longer drink like a cappuccino or a lungo.

6. What’s your primary reason for drinking coffee?

I love the taste. Even if it had no caffeine benefits from it would still be one of my favorite drinks. The fact that it also wakes you up and increases your focus is simply a great bonus.

7.  What do you take coffee with?

Nothing, most of the time. I prefer to focus on the coffee alone and most of the coffee blends I believe don’t mix well with most kind of food. When drinking coffee out I may have it with a cake or a croissant. Otherwise, I drink coffee 

separately from anything else.

8.  Do you currently own a Coffee Machine at home?

I own 2. A Moka pot and a Nespresso machine.

9. How often do you visit Coffee Shops?

Since when I bought the Nespresso machine, much less often. Perhaps once a month, or less. Before it was once every  10-15 days.

10. What is your favorite Coffee Shop?

I find it hard to choose a favorite here as I find all of them serve either mediocre coffee or add too much sugar to it, even when specifically asking for no sugar. I usually go to local cafes rather than bigger chains and if I have to name a specific one I would say Tektura in my city, Krakow. 

They have an amazing blend for cold brews too!
