    Default what's the difference?

    Dear friends,
    I'd like to know the difference between "I like black coffee" and "I like my coffee black"
    thanks

    My opinion:

    "I like black coffee" - in general

    "I like my coffee black" - I put an emphasis on the idea that I like coffee black only.
