C
the / the

D
the / a
Solution
1. An/A' is used as an indefinite article for a thing or person when the reader doesn't know which one we are referring to out of many nouns. It states the random nature of the subject.
2. 'The' is used as a definite article for a thing or person when the reader knows which one we are exactly referring to. It states the specific nature of the subject.
Option C is correct as 'The' refers to a particular type of coffee which the listener is unaware of. The kitchen also states the uniqueness of the subject. Option D is incorrect because 'A' is used with singular countable noun that are random in nature. A kitchen implies any single kitchen. Option B is incorrect as both the blanks require articles to give meaning to the sentences. Option A is incorrect as the first blank requires an article to give meaning to the sentence.
