This episode is about ordering coffee and tea. I think I’ve had a little too much coffee this morning, but we’ll go ahead and start the dialogue now. Let’s get started.

Jermaine: I’d like a decaf drip, to go.

Drew: Would you like our light or dark roast?

Jermaine: I’ll just have whatever’s freshly brewed.

Drew: Are you sure you don’t want to try an espresso, an Americano, or a latte?

Jermaine: No, just a decaf coffee.

Drew: Sure, no problem. Would you like it hot or cold?
