I see. But isn't it a bit too noisy?

All right. Would you make coffee yourself when you are at home?

Which country makes the best coffee in the world?

I agree. I heard in the western countries, almost everyone likes coffee. Is that true?

No, we don't, especially the old people. But more and more young people fall for coffee.
