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 😁

There was just a paper on how instant coffee is bad for you. Since it is a little hard to figure out, note that the paper considered 3 groups: filtered coffee, instant coffee, and the general group of any coffee where people weren't reporting which of the type they drank.

I've been thinking about making the switch to 3rd wave instant for travel. Have you found anything better than Verve?

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.

...where is this hotel?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Are you asking because you assume these items are provided by the hotel? This is my travel kit, the hotel provides a keurig

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Oh, yes, I misconstrued the post as saying this was provided by the hotel! My bad.
