The Magical Fruit

The Oromo people would customarily plant a coffee tree on the graves of powerful sorcerers. They believed that the first coffee bush sprang up from the tears that the god of heaven shed over the corpse of a dead sorcerer.

Cup for heating water, water heating coil, and instant coffee from Verve. It's extremely meh, but so so much better than the coffee pods offered ๐Ÿ˜

This is my first time going instant! I'll say that it has a distinctly 'instant' flavor, but it's not altogether bad once you accept it for what it is. I went with verve because of a Wirecutter article that had it highly ranked. The other option I considered is an instant coffee from cometeer you have to keep frozen for up to 3 days before use. It seemed too fussy for me initially, but I think I'll give it a try next time.

I've really enjoyed the few Cometeer options I've tried. Definitely heading away from instant and towards filter in terms of flavor.
