Coffee and changing tastes

I have a favorite coffee. It's called Mocha and I've only had it a few times a while back in England. I saw it by accident, simply because an acquaintance ordered it in front of me, and I was immediately: What is this?
This acquaintance of mine is not one of those people who will say: Hey, I'm drinking something nice here, try it too. But I'm curious and persistent. I ordered this Mocha, I changed my order, the bartender had already made me an espresso, but he said, No problem, we're canceling the order.
And so I ended up with this wonderful Mocha.
Which isn't really coffee, or at least not pure.

As I've written before, my tastes change a lot over time. Even when it comes to something I've been using for so many years. I cannot say that today I drink coffee the way I drank it 20 years ago, nor 10 years ago, nor even 5 years ago. Because my tastes just change. I don't know if it's because of age or something else.
For example, if I used to drink my coffee with milk, that's not the case anymore. I just can't stand the taste of milk anymore and café con leche is no longer an option. I remember the last café con leche I had exactly 4 years ago in Spain. I forced myself to finish it, that was the tipping point after which I never ordered that type of coffee again. Since then, I only drink espresso in restaurants and Turkish coffee or cezve coffee at home - brewed and boiled in water on the stove.
There is a coffee machine at home, but don't think I like the coffee from it, lol. I also used to drink coffee from a moka pod years ago that I mixed with milk, cinnamon and coconut oil, but that is no longer an option either.

Coffee aside, I discovered a few days ago that I no longer even eat duck meat, among other meats I don't eat. I also don't eat milk, as I said. It's as if over time I'm becoming more and more picky about food and more and more often I say: I don't eat this, I don't eat that. I really don't know what's wrong with me. Yes, I was fastidious as a child, but over the years I have always resented the bias of some people when they start flaunting their reluctance to eat one thing or another or whole food groups. Until I started becoming one myself.

So coffee mocha is with chocolate and steamed milk, at least now I see that this is so. How I liked that coffee back then, I don't know. The milk as a flavor just didn't take over the whole drink. I also don't like very sweet things and would rarely order chocolate or cocoa. But here, mixed with coffee it turns out to be a perfect combination for me. So no matter how my tastes change, there will always be a product I like. 😄

steem.jpgSoul's Detour is a project started by me years ago when I had a blog about historical and not so popular tourist destinations in Eastern Belgium, West Germany and Luxembourg. Nowadays, this blog no longer exists, but I'm still here - passionate about architecture, art and mysteries and eager to share my discoveries and point of view with you.

Personally, I am a sensitive soul with a strong sense of justice.
Traveling and photography are my greatest passions.
Sounds trivial to you?
No, it's not trivial. Because I still love to travel to not so famous destinations.🗺️
Of course, the current situation does not allow me to do this, but I still find a way to satisfy my hunger for knowledge, new places, beauty and art.
Sometimes you can find the most amazing things even in the backyard of your house.😊🧐🧭|

Do the tastes change or you get bored of having too much of something? If that happens to me, I take a break.

I have always liked my coffee only one way since I was kid. It's pasta sauce that I keep changing every 2-3 years.
