Do we choose to drink coffee because of the caffeine burst? Do we choose to drink coffee because it is socially cool and acceptable? Do we choose to drink coffee because it tastes good? Does the price of coffee bother us or is it acceptable because of the benefits we gain. How do you make a caramel macchiato? What would you recommend?Is it too sweet or too bitter? What has the least amount of calories but will taste good? Do you have something that doesn’t taste like coffee but will give me the same effects as coffee?
