Yesterday I managed to insult my father-in-law. I was not trying to, but I didn’t drink the coffee he made for me. First of all it was too hot – he is a firm believer that coffee should be served at nothing less than a scalding temperature.
Worst of all though was that it was instant coffee (but its moccona he says - somehow this makes it all ok).
Now my in-laws are people who know quality stuff – after all they gave me my Faema Family. But making coffee just seems too much effort, even in a plunger so they have reverted to using moccona.
I Just Can’t Drink It!
I Won’t.
Not on a train, not on a plane not with sucrose, not up my nose, I do not like it, Kim the gruff, I do not like that awful stuff!
Does anyone have any polite refusal strategies that they have successfully used to decline a coffee type beverage that you know you just cant drink?
