I don’t know many people who don’t like coffee! Do we all need a little caffeine to get the morning started? No, not all, but most of us do! I absolutely love coffee and can’t imagine a day without it…

Coffee (kawa) is consumed everywhere, all around the world. People in Poland love coffee and there are so many different ways to prepare it!

We like it strong (mocna), weak (słaba), black (czarna), white (z mlekiem), frothy (z pianką) instant (rozpuszczalna), Irish (z dodatkiem whiskey), freshly-brewed (świeżo parzona) oraz ground (mielona).

Coffee can be piping hot/ steaming (bardzo gorąca), tepid/ lukewarm (lekko ciepła) also iced (mrożona).
