Cada día, lo primero que millones de personas alrededor del mundo beben es una taza

de café en la mañana. Bueno, y no solo en las mañanas, también muchos finalizan su

almuerzo con un taza de café o la toman en la mitad de la tarde para continuar con sus

labores.

Para muchos otros, el café es como un religión, lo beben cuando tienen sueño, cuando

están tristes o cuando se sienten felices; también, lo toman si necesitan pensar con claridad

o si se quieren relajar. En fin, si te gusta el café, siempre encontrarás una excusa para

volver a él.

Pero, recuerda, el café es como un idioma, y cada quien encuentra la forma de expresarse como quiere.
