Questions & Answers about Voy a tomar un café solo.

Why use tomar instead of beber or tener?
While beber is perfectly fine to mean 'to drink', Spanish speakers very often use tomar (to take) when talking about having a drink or a meal. You cannot use tener here, because tener only means to physically possess or own something, not to consume it.
Doesn't solo mean alone? Why is it translated as a black coffee?
Yes, solo literally means alone. In Spain, if you order un café solo, you are asking for a coffee by itself with no milk added. This is the standard way to ask for a black coffee or espresso.
How does voy a work in this sentence?
This uses the verb ir (to go) followed by a and an action word (tomar) to talk about the near future. Just like in English, saying voy a tomar translates exactly to 'I am going to have'.
