    Plz don't laugh!
    Never bought a cup of coffee in my life. Ordered a take away one yesterday.
    Do you ask for milk to be put through it, do you order milk seperately and add it yourself? Does it cost extra? Does everyone drink it without milk?

    Depends on how you want it and where you've ordered it. Most places will provide milk separately that you add yourself. With take away, there's often a take away station with milk and sugar on it. It doesn't cost extra. Some people drink it black, some people drink milk, it's up to personal preference.

    you also have several other options in most coffee places.

    Espresso- strong shot of coffee with very little water, very strong and probably not for a coffee newbie. :)
    Americano - espresso shot(s) with hot water added which you'd put your own milk into afterwards to make a regular coffee
    Cappuccino - shot(s) of espresso with a some hot milk added and then a lot of milk foam/froth on top, usually with a sprinkle of chocolate powder on top
    Latte - like a cappuccino, but with more milk and less froth/foam and no chocolate powder.
    (and more...)

    you can also get various different sugar syrups to add to your coffee to change the flavour, like caramel or vanilla, but we're getting into the deeper end of it, so i'll stop there. :)

    personally, i like the strength of a cappuccino, but i'm not a fan of a lot of foam or the chocolate powder, so i normally order a large latte with an extra shot of espresso, so i get the best of both worlds. :)

    Thx guys. I ordered a coffee to take away from a place called the Coffee Pod opposite Cork City Library, Grande Parade, Cork. No no sign of any milk around and didn't want to look silly and ask for it!

    Why would you look silly? Lots of places put in the milk for you, rather than leaving it on the side, so you have to tell them you want it.

    Was it just a regular coffee? Did they ask you whether you wanted it black or white?
