Hello and welcome to 6 Minute English.
I'm Dan and joining me today is Casper and Hay Casper.
Hey Dan!
So Casper and do you prefer a brew or a cup of joe in the morning?
Ah well, if you're referring to whether I prefer a cup of tea,
which we sometimes call a brew or a cup of coffee,
sometimes called a cup of joe,
I prefer my coffee in the morning.
I only drink coffee when I really need to wake up quickly.
Hmm and why are you asking Dan?
Because it's part of this 6 Minute English.
Coffee, I see.
So how do you take it then Dan?
Well, I'm an instant coffee kind of guy and I like mine with a dash of milk.
How about you?
A dash of something is a small amount of something,
especially liquid.
Personally, I prefer freshly ground coffee beans and I like my coffee dark and strong.
