“Not without my coffee,” says Ileana D’Cruz in a recent Instagram post and we can see many of us nodding our heads in agreement. These magical beans seem to have us hooked. We all have our own favourite style of making it – from the humble and delicious filter kaapi to the more exotic cappuccino. This is clearly a drink which has gotten us addicted. From dates to meetings, nothing seems to be complete without a cup of strong or weak, hot or cold coffee. Think of Monday mornings for instance. Would you be able to survive the blues without a cuppa to begin the day? No, right? Or can you?
