12. 0:37going to talk about coffee for some of
13. 0:39you this might be a really important
14. 0:41topic that depends on how much you like
15. 0:44this drink let me first talk about my
16. 0:47relationship with coffee I'm not an
17. 0:50everyday coffee drinker and I don't need
18. 0:53coffee to feel awake or productive in
19. 0:57fact sometimes caffeine can be hard for
20. 1:00my body to handle if I drink too much of
21. 1:03it I might feel anxious or just bad
22. 1:06throughout the rest of the day so as you
23. 1:09can see I don't need coffee in my life
24. 1:12however on the other hand I really like
25. 1:14warm beverages it doesn't matter if it's
26. 1:17coffee tea hot chocolate apple cider or
27. 1:21any other hot drink I've always loved
28. 1:23these types of drinks so even though I
29. 1:26don't need coffee I actually do like
30. 1:28drinking it I often order coffee when I
31. 1:31eat breakfast at restaurants and I even
32. 1:34drink it at home sometimes but I know
33. 1:37many people who are dependent on coffee
34. 1:40and who couldn't imagine starting their
35. 1:42day without it okay let's talk about the
36. 1:45differences between coffee in different
37. 1:47parts of the world in the US it's really
38. 1:50common for people to drink a full cup of
39. 1:53coffee they fill up their mug and add
40. 1:56sweeteners like coffee creamer or sugar
41. 1:59I remember that my parents always had
42. 2:02different flavors of coffee creamer like
43. 2:04vanilla or hazelnut and they would add a
44. 2:07lot of this until their coffee was sweet
45. 2:10and often times they would refill their
46. 2:12mug and drink a second cup of coffee in
47. 2:15the morning however I know that in many
48. 2:18European countries this isn't normal in
49. 2:21some of these countries it's more common
50. 2:24to drink espresso shots these shots are
51. 2:27really small compared to the coffee that
52. 2:30many Americans drink they're usually
53. 2:32more concentrated too so the flavor is
54. 2:35much stronger honestly I've only had one
55. 2:39or two espresso shots in my whole life
56. 2:41so I don't have much experience with
57. 2:44this I prefer drinking full cups of
58. 2:47coffee because I like to savor the drink
59. 2:50this means that I like to drink it
60. 2:51slowly and enjoy it for a longer period
61. 2:54of time how about you do you prefer
62. 2:57drinking full cups of coffee or do you
63. 2:59like small espresso shots okay let's
64. 3:02talk a little bit about cafes in many
65. 3:06countries cafes are for more than just
66. 3:08coffee sure there are many people that
67. 3:11just order their coffee to go but a lot
68. 3:13of people spend time at coffee shops to
69. 3:16work hang out with friends read or just
70. 3:19relax a lot of cafes have good Wi-Fi
71. 3:23nice music and comfortable seating
72. 3:25personally I love working at cafes it's
73. 3:28a nice change from working here at my
74. 3:31house I feel a lot more inspired when
75. 3:33I'm in a different environment and when
76. 3:35I see other people around me where I
77. 3:38live it's common for people to bring
78. 3:40their laptop to the cafe and work while
79. 3:43they're drinking their coffee and I
80. 3:46think that coffee shops are also
81. 3:47comfortable places to just relax and
82. 3:50enjoy a nice drink okay that's all for
