COFFEE CONUNDRUMS
Ordering 'a coffee, please' won't go down well in most
Kaffeehäuser

will uncover a long list of choices, and a little time studying the options is advisable. A good coffee house will
serve the cup of java on a silver platter accompanied by a glass of water and a small sweet. The selection of cof-
