Grammar
Coffee or coffees
Hi, I think in a vending machine, you can buy different types of snacks. Does this sentence with the word 'coffees' is natural since it is expected that you will see different types of coffee? Is 'different types of coffee' correct or does it have to be 'different types of coffees' in this sentence?
Vending machines sell many different products; mainly drinks, confectionaries, coffees and tissues.
Can I write like this? Using the phrase 'on the bottom' or 'at the bottom' confuses me sometimes.
Once you put money in the machine, you can get your snack at the bottom of the machine.
