✕Common Mistakes
Este café es buenísimo.
Using ‘es’ (ser) would describe an inherent quality, while ‘está’ (estar) talks about the current taste. Both are possible, but ‘está’ is more natural for a just‑tasted coffee.
Este café está buenisimo.
The accent on the í is required; without it the stress falls on the wrong syllable.
Esta café está buenísimo.
‘Café’ is masculine; do not use the feminine article ‘la’.
