+1 Makes it herself, which is very Gen Z. She picks up all the ingredients at various ethnic shops and experiments. |

| I think I have a child on the young edge of Gen z at 13. She drinks a lot of flavored sparkling water and non caffeinated Frappuccinos. Occasionally a sprite or a fancy soda if a restaurant we go to makes its own sodas. |

Our 20 year old DD does the same thing. Makes her own bubble tea and matcha and coffee/espresso too. |

| Boomer here and I just quit drinking coffee. Very happy with that decision. No energy drinks either. |

| My daughter is Gen Z and she's never been a coffee drinker. She went through a fru-fru Starbucks phase which involved colors and whipped cream and a ton of sugar, but now she's a water or coconut water type. |

| Just curious - why are multiple NYC people following DCUM? |

- we lived in DC when we had little kids - much of the content is not DC-specific - there is no longer a similar site for NYC |

| Yeah, very few of them. |

| My HSer and her friends definitely drink coffee. DD has a cup at home every morning and buys it when out as a treat. |

| Gen X parents only drink an occasional coffee but only as a splurge and only when it’s practically a dessert (eg, mocha). Gen Z kids hate coffee and tea. May drink an energy drink after sports but not usually We don’t own a coffee machine either so that probably helps. They tried bubble tea with friends but that didn’t click with them either. My boomer parent said I’d eventually become a coffee drinker as an adult but never did despite being allowed coffee with milk and windmill cookies as a kid. I seriously do not understand the coffee/tea thing where people say they can’t start without it. How did this happen? |

Cold brew is delicious |

Haha. Sometimes I go to bed and think I'm excited to get up tomorrow morning to have coffee. I love coffee and so do my Gen Z kids. One drinks Americanos, the other drinks lattes (we have an espresso machine at home). |
