[EBS입트영 5/16] Mastering Coffee / 좌충우돌 커피숍 메뉴 정복

Mastering Coffee / 좌충우돌 커피숍 메뉴 정복

 

To me, coffee is like a friend I want to get closer to but can't work up the nerve to approach.

I tried an iced Americano out of curiosity because people I know drink it at cafes.

But it was way too bitter for me. 

I wondered how people could enjoy a drink that tastes like oriental medicine.

 

Still, wanting to drink coffee, I trained my palate with caramel macchiatos.

And by now, I've finally come to understand the true flavor of a cafe latte. 

 

When i first visited coffehouse chains, I used to order like I didn't know what I was doing.

It's still not much different, but at least I can customize my order. 

I need to remember to order a tall, grande, venti, or trenta size without getting all mixed up.

train my palate 미각을 길들이다 

finally come to understand 마침내 이해하게 되다

n't know what I was doing 미숙하다 (Not know what one is doing) 

get all mixed up 헷갈리다
