A least I don't drink thin bean soup.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Don't bring soup into this. This is an argument between soggy leaf juice and burnt bean juice.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 8 months ago

Roasted bean juice, thank you very much. It's only burnt if it's from starbucks

[–] [email protected] 24 points 8 months ago

I prefer the term dirty bean water

Coffee literally tastes like burnt asshole.

I'm okay with people not liking tea, but the audacity of a goddamn coffee drinker to imply that tea taste worse than their brown bean shit-water is ludicrous

[–] [email protected] 21 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (2 children)

Coffee that tastes like burnt cellulose (not as you imply cellulite lol) has been left on the warming plate too long. It's like complaining that tea tastes metallic and bitter: sure, it does if you do it completely wrong.

If you want to make good coffee, you need to use beans that haven't been roasted too dark, then make it with the right parameters for good extraction, then put into a cup immediately and drink. Just like you shouldn't warm up tea for hours before drinking it.

Great coffee can be drunk without milk and gone cold and it will still taste like some kind of strange and intense and delicious cherry tea.

Enough cream and sugar and they both taste the same. That’s my strategy.

You might as well be drinking coca cola if you're going that way.

ITT people who think all coffee is like the Z-tier roasted-until-burnt held-until-stale blasphemy they serve at Starbucks.

ITT people who think all tea is the result of oversteeping a lipton bag in a cup in the microwave.

ITT people who think any random plant plus hot water is "tea" but are oddly specific about what is "coffee".

Coffee and tea are both delicious.

Energy drinks, on the other hand, taste like battery acid and bile. That's where your scorn should be directed.

[–] woelkchen 23 points 8 months ago (1 children)

What else would give you energy if not literal battery juice?

As an enthusiast for both leaf soup and bean juice, it seems like most coffee drinkers think of cheap, old, dusty teabag tea, overboiled to taste like bitter vegetables in sewage water, while most tea drinkers think of pure dark overroasted burnt coffee, preground too finely (or as the worst kind of instant coffee), tasting like acid in an ash tray, like those are your only two options.

Both coffee and tea can be so terrible and also so wonderful. I guess my favorite coffee takes quite some preparation and my favorite tea cost me about as much as a junkie's crack addiction. But both can be really nice if you spend a little more money on a quality product and take the bit of effort to prepare it properly.

The taste of tea is heavily dependent on how it gets brewed. Correct brewing temperature and time steeping play a huge role on making sure too many tannins aren’t extracted and it ends up tasting like hot garbage.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 8 months ago (1 children)

What you mean? Just dump the damn teabag in the hot water in your cup and a spoonful of honey.

Tastes like honey every time

Yup, green tea is great if you're not drinking factory floor dust and you haven't oversteeped it. If your tea is bitter and is leaving you with a dry mouth, something is wrong.

Don't forget the water quality itself. Plays a major role too.

Yeah man coffee tastes so good, which is why most people drink it half mixed with milk or full of flavoured syrups.

Bruh coffee is just a caffeine delivery juice, you have to put cream and sugar in it just so it doesn't taste super bitter. A lot of tea tastes good just on their own. Scoreboard.

[–] KrankyKong 17 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Coffee tastes good on its own tho...

Coffee is great, the problem is most coffee is brewed horribly. Get yourself a cheap pour over set and a kettle and you'll get significantly better results, with much more improvement possible past that with whole beans and a decent grinder

I personally find that tea tastes better usually than straight coffee. Can't stand straight coffee and need to go to a coffee shop to get a flavor I'll enjoy. But with tea, I can handle most teas I've tried without having to add anything that changes the flavor. I'll take the leaf juice over the bean juice any day, when we're talking no additional additives.

Alright bean soup enjoyer.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

The problem is that the widely available tea brands (at least in America) are usually shit, and people not knowing how to make it right and end up using scalding hot water when making green tea or microwaving the water with the bag in. I get my tea from tea shops and use an electric kettle to get the brewing temps right, and now a lot of grocery store teas are disgusting to me.

I like good coffee too, but when I have it I often feel sick later and the caffeine content sometimes sets off my anxiety.

I love how coffee smells, and heavily diluted in an icecap or something, it's fine.

Straight up, though? Disgusting. I've tried for years to develop the taste for it. No dice.

A well prepared tea just goes down easier.

Even a caffeine free green tea is a step above hot water. And I'll drink straight hot water on a cold day in a pinch.

Bagged tea you get at the grocery store does suck, it either has no flavor or it's all artificially enhanced. Loose leaf is where it's at.

SMH y'all just making water worse. Pure, undiluted water with just enough crap in it so that it doesn't literally strip your ions or something and kill you. That's the best drink.
