A type of coffee traditionally consumed in Portugal and Spain is raising concerns among specialists. Marisa Baqué, a Spanish specialist, is one of the voices expressing reservations about this drink.

According to the article, there is a particular type of coffee that the specialist considers "should be banned," demonstrating a quite critical position regarding it.

The issue arises in the context of traditional Portuguese and Spanish consumption, where this type of coffee maintains a significant presence in the culture of both countries.
