le café

‘so,’ asks becky, ‘if a coffee is un café and a café is also un café, how do you know which one you’re taking about?’
the french glance at each other, shrug frenchly.

the french love their coffee. it’s a habit, an institution, the closing punctuation to a meal. something consumed from a tiny cup while you stand at the counter of a brasserie or sit on a cane chair smoking, your dog at your feet. (I LOVE french cliché!)

but it’s also nearly always bitter and/or grainy, made with a grimy espresso machine, or served at home from a lukewarm percolator. 

(but sometimes there's a time and place for this style of coffee)

not long before I left for my holiday, my friend hannah posted this link on my facebook page.

  1. Pity I had to give up coffee a few years ago. :-( I love it, but it keeps me awake, even if I have one first thing in the morning. I do sometimes still have an iced coffe(bet they would sneer at that in France) because it don't get me back in the habit of coffee drinking, but just not the same as a lovely, hot aromatic cup of java!
