Where I first smelled coffee - at home, of course. My parents usually both drink a cup of coffee in the morning and one or two in the afternoon, as long as I can remember. They always use coffee powder, not beans - so nothing special. I tasted coffee some years ago and retasted it from time to time, but I still do not like it. Nevertheless, I like black tea (don't know what type etc.) with some milk and some sugar, of course not too bitter, so I only let the teabag swim in the cup for about a minute or so. Adults often say about coffee when I tell them I dislike its taste - don't know how to translate ... but it's something like "you'll learn to [like its taste] when you're older" if you think closer about it. quoting BP Jonsson:

Yes, me too. quoting Andreas Johansson:

;) How nice of you to want to prove that I'm not too small... I meant "tall classmates", yes. Most are between 1.75m and 1.80m I'd guess after paying more attention to that today.
