coffee
Barista's hot specialty
Coffee is the roasted and ground seeds of a tropical shrub, brewed into a bitter, caffeinated drink.
The beverage is so central to daily life that coffee can mean a cup of it: I need my morning coffee.
Coffee also names the social occasion: Let's get coffee sometime.
As a modifier, coffee describes a medium brown color.
A coffee table sits low before a sofa.
