In context

I like sharing my opinions, but politely. I usually start with 'I think' or 'In my opinion'. For example, 'I think this cafe is lovely, but in my opinion the coffee is a bit weak.' Then I ask, 'What do you think?' That way, it's a conversation, not just me talking. Everyone has different opinions, and that's interesting. What do you think?
