“Creamers” 🤢

Your body adapts to bitterness. But most importantly, there’s a difference between buying good coffee, grinding and preparing it how you like it, versus buying 8 month old burnt pieces of leaves and some coffee from Walmart and shoving sugar with vegetable oil on top.

Less than a year ago I drank tea exclusively.

I started with ground Dunkin’ Donuts Original because that’s what my wife drank. I didn’t like it, but if I added Torani syrup to it, it was actually pretty good. It became my morning coffee.

Then, still with ground coffee, my wife said she liked Krispy Kreme coffee better but they don’t sell it in stores. I found it on Amazon and it was indeed better.

Then, I was like, “Well…we have a grinder…let’s use it.” So, I bought Dunkin’ Donuts Original whole bean at the store. It tasted significantly better than Krispy Kreme! Even my wife agreed. I could tell grinding the beans at home was a game changer.

Then I went to Hawaii. For a week straight, I drank pretty crappy coffee with a bit of cream. It gave me that bitter flavor that I’d come to love, but it wasn’t satisfying in the way that I knew coffee could be. I guess was preparing myself for heaven by going through hell? Idk. But we found a coffee in Kona that is so good I can make a whole pot and drink it black. When I first tasted it at home, I understood in my bones why people enjoy a morning cup of coffee.

So yeah, huge difference between buying good coffee and preparing it how you like it versus that other crap.

Likewise, I like it. I had to cut out all caffeine so I don’t get to drink it much now, but I’ll make a decaf every now and then.

I miss coffee.

I eat guacamole and avocados every now and then even though I don’t like either. I think it’s important to repeatedly try things that I otherwise don’t like. It’s how I’ve come to love blue cheese and coffee.

I don’t know, boost energy? Though woth that logic, it’s a lie since I don’t feel anything after.

I don’t like it by itself (and don’t drink it) but I like coffee notes in chocolate, beer, and some savory sauces.

I happily drink instant coffee. I even prefer it to something like Starbucks coffee.

my mom only drank instant coffee while i grew up and hated drip coffee. i had some of her coffee here and there wondering what the taste was like, and really hated it until the first time I had some drip coffee. still drink it to this day and cannot stand instant.

The best taste you get out of that is the equivalent of liquid cardboard with tons of sugar.

Wat.
