      Hi knighto! I absolutely love the taste of coffee to be honest, so it is my go-to hot drink especially if I am working away in the office. I have mine with a bit of milk and no sugar. Not everyone likes coffee though, it can taste bitter. Some people might drink it because it gives them a ‘boost’ – caffeine can boost your alertness when you are feeling tired to keep you going! In general, that means it could help you focus better on work and feel more awake. It can have some negative effects though so it’s always important to mix up your diet and not rely too much on it!

      Thanks for your question 🙂
