RE: CLOSED - Coffee Conversation: Event 70

OMG! I haven't seen a cup like that in a long time. My grandma's next door neighbor had one of those--or really similar--, but it had olive green engravings. They were thick and a little heavy; I was seven perhaps,when they served me coffee in that cup, and I felt that I was no longer considered a little girl because they gave me a cup that wasn't plastic, hehe. Nice memories.

Your mom's cup is a beautiful cup, now yours. And your little girl might inherit it ❤️

Thank you. It is also a very heavy mug, it is not light at all, it has a strong material, I imagine that's why it has lasted so long. I hope to be able to give it to my daughter someday 🤗♥️☕

We already had coffee with milk on a daily basis since we were 6 or 7. How old were you when you started drinking coffee? I'm curious 🤭

Well, I don't remember the exact age, but Cuban children drink coffee with milk at breakfast, it's normal, so I remember that as a child I drank it quite a lot. And my grandmother when they brewed coffee in the afternoons would sometimes give me a sip because I asked her for it. But I owe you the exact age hehe, although I guess it would be about eight years old.

Similar stories in Venezuela. It was never an issue in my house or at my grandparents' 😁

Cubans love coffee as much as you do.
Well, what I didn't clarify very well is that when I was little it was usual to have coffee with milk for breakfast. Now with the economic crisis it is more complicated to get both, but it is still customary.
