Fetch your pitchforks, I don’t drink the stuff
We'll just keep that quietly to ourselves here. Just, don't go announcing such blasphemy in the coffee community, you could ruin our reputation!
^🫣^
Neither, it's vile.
Love the smell, but the taste is awful.
I shared that opinion for the first 35 years of my life. It turns out I just hadn't tried good coffee (espresso). There are so many ways to have coffee too.. I did a bit of experimenting, started out with lattes with a couple of sugars and moved on to stronger brews over a few months. I'm not pounding triple shot long blacks or anything but I do love me a nice cup of Joe these days.
Never ever touch instant coffee. I'm not even sure how people call that stuff coffee.
I also thought beer was disgusting until I was 26.
Rather like that coffee icecream with the choc almonds in it
Coffee gelato is my go to. I hate coffee as a drink unless it’s sugary Starbucks gunk!
I only use it when very sleep deprived and struggle at work. I get shaky and heart palpitations
I can do it, but my stomach hates it when I drink coffee.
Instant works is cheap and put tumeric pepper honey and soy in it tastes not bad. I gave trying to have fancy coffee at home years ago. Saved a fortune on buying average stove top stuff. It's still not a huge step up from instand imo compared to the great stuff you can get everywhere in Melbourne.
I still have some perculator coffee and a moka pot of course for when people come over.
I don’t dislike it, but it makes me feel peculiar. Basically just don’t see what all the fuss is about and can’t be bothered.
same here. Can't even stand the smell. Don't @me with "but you haven't tried the right blend of cat crap organic hippie toe-picked steam froth!" I hate coffee and it's not going into my mouth,.
The civet stuff is just……. I do not look in the litter tray and think “tasty”
Look, I like Starbucks coffee. So I too am villainised.
(I honestly don't care how people drink their coffee, live and let live.
