Usage notes

• The word ко́фе used to be prescriptively masculine (after earlier ко́фий (kófij)), although informally treated as neuter: “горя́чееко́фе”. Since September 2009 it is officially accepted to be used as either masculine or neuter, the later usage, however, may still be frowned upon by some people.
• Since the lack of declension may be inconvenient for some people, the diminutive forms of ко́фе, кофеёк (kofejók) or the dated form ко́фий (kófij), are occasionally used. Some ostensible case inflections are more common than others, e.g. the instrumental form ко́фем, but such inflected forms are non-standard and rarely used even in informal speech.
