Last month, we asked our readers two questions. Here are their responses.
What’s your coffee order and why?
“I prefer hot chocolate.” —Anonymous
“My go-to coffee order is a decaffeinated mocha latte. Hear me out. The decaf comes from medical purposes- I take medicine for ADHD every day and it really doesn’t mix well with caffeine. I’m an absolute sucker for chocolate. Chocolate truly is the way to get to me, so I will get mocha. Oh, and also- hot coffee. It could be July, and I still wouldn’t like the watered-down taste of iced coffee. Hot coffee all the way. Might not be popular, but that’s my go-to.” —Jacob Perelman
“Mocha latte.” —Shuma and Nari
“I used to be the girl who drowned her coffee in sugar, craving the comfort lying in its sweetness. Yet as I have gotten older, my taste has transformed. I now embrace the simplicity of a hot coffee with 2% milk and no sugar. No more masking the bold flavor – it’s about savoring the genuine taste. A simple cup of coffee has now become a reminder that sometimes, the richest experiences come when we strip away the unnecessary layers.” —Julia Weissman
“My coffee order is hot black coffee (yes, no milk or sugar). This allows me to enjoy the actual taste of the brew. For some reason, I’ve just never really liked adding anything that dilutes my morning cup.” —Luchia Ceriello
“The evolution of my coffee order was quite unusual for someone that is not yet an adult. At the ripe age of six, I tried a sip of my mom’s coffee and adored it but it wasn’t what you would predict a six-year-old would enjoy. No sugar, no artificial flavoring, and no syrup. It was just coffee (certainly decaf) with milk; the order that the average forty-year-old may have. Through the years, I have become more adventurous with what is included in my coffee order as I wildly include hazelnut or maybe even vanilla.” —Keira Krisburg
What crime would you commit if you knew you could get away with it?
“I would want to sneak onto a plane, and fly to Barcelona to get a break from school and go to a soccer game.” —Henry Haas
“Catch Me if You Can check forging. I would love to have unlimited money.” —Anonymous
“Steal all the money.” —Anonymous
Thank you for these wonderful responses! Keep an eye out for the January prompts!
