Reading the course materials for this class I saw that Czechs regularly drink tea or coffee for breakfast, but when I came here, besides being disappointed with Czech cuisine, I was disappointed with it’s coffee. Back home, I’m used to drinking a big black cup of coffee every morning, and without it I’m just not the same person in the morning. So when I first went to a coffee shop here I was little upset that there was no such thing as “regular” coffee, only espresso, lattes and mochas were on the menu. Closer in the center of the city there are a few Starbucks, which seems like the only place where I can get an American coffee, but near my apartment there is a place called Café Fresh, and the people who work there don’t speak English so I wouldn’t even know how to order a black coffee. I’ve gotten accustomed to their foamy lattes just because there’s nothing I can do about it. I miss being able to grab a coffee on the go and one of the things I am excited about when I go home is being able to have my coffee. I think the Czech Republic is more into their beer than their coffee, and here bars and pubs are more of the Czech style.
