I have limited knowledge of coffee. It's a liquid form of coffee cake and is very popular with people. I am vaguely aware of the different types available because of my interest and commitment to popular culture. There's Latte for example, as well as double-latte, cappuccino, double cappuccino, cappuccino and egg, Expresso, Expresso and egg, Americano coffee double-bubble with egg. Basically, there are a shit-load of different coffees. A couple of years ago I came to the conclusion that I was missing out and walked into my local coffee shop to try and get involved.

But nobody can be totally sure it really went in. Too dark for that.
