Significado
The act of consuming coffee.
Contexto cultural
In Budapest, cafes are often called 'cukrászda' if they focus on cakes, or 'kávézó' for coffee. Drinking coffee is a slow process; you are never rushed to leave. The phrase 'the black soup is still to come' refers to the historical moment when coffee was served to Hungarian guests before they were imprisoned by the Turks. Hungarians traditionally prefer strong, dark espresso (feketekávé). Large, milky coffees are a more recent Western influence. Traditional service includes a glass of tap water. This is to cleanse the palate before and after drinking the coffee.

Accusative Case
Don't forget the '-t'! It's the most common mistake for beginners.
