Did @kotenoke win it? I didn't really know what to do with the first clue i.e. there wasn't a question. I just tried a few random coffee related things.
Suggestion: Can you please specify in your next one if it is lower case or all capitals? Since you switched it the first couple of times I was a bit lost on that.
Thanks for the fun of riddling!
I mention it but it is below the prize, I'll drop it down to the clue level
I must be blind - old age... 😂. I'm sure I tried CAFE but who knows after the umpteenth try - LOL
It was cafe :)
This was indeed a fun task. I tried so many other words less obvious than cafe:
shop, drip, iced, bean, home, java, seat, area, site, spot, and so forth
