Cappuccino and espresso - 4 months of illy coffee beans
Looking back, surprising V. with Folger's instant was probably not a great idea. But V. did not run away. (She did make me write "illy is the best coffee" over and over on the chalkboard, though.) - he said. He can learn, it's taking few sips but apparently he can - she said.
