Coffees/kinds of coffee

Hello everyone,

Which sentence sounds better?

- Mocha is one of my favorite coffees.

- Mocha is one of my favorite kinds of coffee.


Wouldn't "kinds of coffee" sound better if we are referring to the actual coffee variety, rather than the drink itself?


Thank you.

Gene93 Wouldn't "kinds of coffee" sound better if we are referring to the actual coffee variety, rather than the drink itself? It depends on the setting. "kinds of coffee" is more explicit, but "coffees" means the same thing and would be more commonly heard in informal settings.
