Yes

I like coffee with milk and cream, don't care if it makes me a faggot

>>17664884
How would that make you a faggot?

For me, it’s a robust, strong chai tea with ginger

>just requires a "refined palate"
Eating spicy, bitter, or sour foods is a lot like watching scary movies or riding roller coasters.

For some people it's unpleasant. For others it's exciting.
If you don't understand this, it's because you have autism.

Is coffee the cigarettes of food?
Funny you ask because cigarettes and coffee in the morning are the best thing ever.

>>17664885
Coffee etilists look down upon "softening" your coffee with dairy

Coffee is the dark souls of food

I like a cup of French press coffee with full cream and a couple teaspoons of sugar on a Saturday morning. It's a nice ritual and I get to have a creamy hot drink, and the brand I buy tastes like a mix of chocolate and tropical fruit so I enjoy it.

Cheap coffee, be it Folgers, Maxwell House, Starbucks, Dunkin, etc. generally has a bitter and unpleasant taste unless you add sugar/cream, or else have spent the time to really acquire the taste. All coffee fans would agree, there. But if you actually spend a little more money buying good beans (and I'm not talking anything insanely luxurious, you can find plenty of high quality stuff in the $15-20/lb range, and 1 pound of beans can last you a while), then it's like another beverage entirely.

It's like comparing bottom-shelf whiskey to top-shelf, you're not drinking the bottom shelf stuff for the taste, you're drinking it to get drunk. Same with cheap coffee, you're drinking it for the caffeine. Gotta get higher quality stuff if you want to enjoy it.

coffee tastes like shit on its own, and it also tastes like shit with sugar and milk. the final redpill is just accepting this and drinking it black to avoid the extra calories

based tea chads

I don't even drink coffee for the caffeine anymore. I'd rather drink black tea for that. But, I just can't kick the taste addiction of coffee. I love it. It's literally the best tasting liquid apart from water. Might be tied with whiskey/bourbon/scotch.

I love the bitter flavour of cheap instant coffee. The bitterness is great.

>>17664869
>Is coffee the cigarettes of food?
yes

>>17664869
I quit coffee after my best friend died.

I drink roasted chicory root now. 1 lb of it (about 13 usd) lasts me about 6-8 months so I save a bit of money.

>>17665456
sorry about your best friend (the mouse)

Cheap coffee generally tastes pretty bad but it is a pretty pleasant drink otherwise. Many foods and drinks are acquired tastes coffee is no different.

>>17664884
who the fuck puts cream in coffee? you're supposed to use milk

>>17664869
my teeth are quite white
I can have days without coffee and nothing happens
I just drink it out of social pressure at work and because it fits "coffee time" snacks better than tea

>>17664869
>sell coffee to cafes
>Drink 3-6 coffees per day
>perfect teeth
>play football 4 times per week
>don't feel the need to drink on weekends
>go full holidays (i.e. 2 weeks) without it and don't feel shit
>people think it's addictive

fucking plebs man... I smile in pity of you.

Got my mother to quit drinking coffee and she was so much happier after the initial suffering. So much more energy, less grumpiness, more relaxed. She drinks more tea now.

>>17664869
We get it OP. It tasted bitter and made you cry like a bitch.

I drink my coffee black and I actually like the taste. Sometimes I'll add half a tablespoon of sugar but that's about it, I don't like adding milk because it cools the coffee down and i like drinking it when it's *just* past the point that it'll burn your lips and tongue.

>>17664869
>>17664872
^this
But I enjoy both from time to time. Sometimes at the same time, instead of breakfast, especially when hungover.

>>17665056
Your tea looks cold. You should bring it inside.

>>17664949
>for me, its the full french breakfast

>>17666558
I'm actually kind of nostalgic for a gauloise brune and a double espresso. I hope I'll have a reason to go back to Europe this year.

>>17664869
I once made half a pot of coffee and then filtered that coffee through fresh coffee grounds several times and drank the entire thing. Only a few minutes later did I realize my horrible mistake, I spent the two nights sleepless and constantly pissing out smelly coffee piss.

>>17666673
1. No you didn't.
2. It would serve you right if you did.

>>17664869
op, even though you are trying hard, you'll never be a woman.

>>17666842
Why don't try it for yourself and see how I felt. My heart was beating like crazy.

>>17667440
This is a cooking board. If we don't maintain a baseline of caffeination that would kill most normal people, we instantly suffer narcoleptic fits.

>>17665024
You can even buy pretty shitty beans but if you freshly grind them and brew in a French press with 200 degree water it tastes gourmet compared to drip. When i make strong cold brew people ask if it's tea because it tastes so mild...

>>17667708

You need friends who don't have the vid.

>>17664869
No, smoking is cool.

>>17664869
>Is coffee the cigarettes of food?
No.

>>17664869
Such hate, be a Sith Lord..

>>17664869
>it's another thread about how anon never reached the childhood developmental landmark of recognizing other people have different tastes than you

>>17664869
>bad breath
Brush your teeth faggot.

>>17664869
>tastes like shit while pseduointellectuals will swear it just requires a "refined palate" or some other bullshit excuse
It doesn't require a refined palate though, that's why almost everyone likes coffee. It just requires you not have the palate of a child.

>>17665024
You do realise if you switch to arabica beans that whole point becomes moot.

>>17664869
Tastelet

>>17664931
I love spicy, bitter and sour foods. Coffe justs taste terrible

mmmm, i think i'll go make myself a scorching cup of moka-pot coffee, thanks for the thread anon

>>17666167
Cream is far superior

>>17668618
Not that anon, but for me that's the whole point.
It does taste terrible.
It's a terrible I can taste.
There's not a lot of things I can clearly taste.

>>17666558
>>17666582
For me, its Lucky Strikes and fresh brewed stovetop coffee with a general amount of sugar.
One more thing: what happened to the tobacco threads? We used to have at least one of these per day here in /ck/.

>>17668601
>you do realise

>>17664869
My teeth were already yellow despite having good dental hygiene and hardly ever drinking coffee or cola so I figured fuck it. Still not addicted to it yet though. Having to make it myself seems to curb that. Packaged drinks on the other hand are fucking addicting.

Coffee and cigarettes being widely available in europe coincided with the enlightenment. A coincidence? I think not

>>17664884
>don't care if it makes me a faggot
You will always be a faggot.

I always hated coffee till I tried it cold
idk how the temperature makes such a vast difference but it does

I add milk to my coffee to cool it down its not much about the flavor really.

>>17668601
>switch to Arabica
What Southeast Asian backlot grocer are you buying Robusta from?

>>17669065
They're not really food related. Good with coffee, good instead of food if you're feeling a little masochistic. Good after a rich meal with a strong digestif. Not food.

I drink it with milk only for gym workouts

>>17664869
I only drink coffee if I need to empty my bowels.

>>17670370
>>17670370
I'm not drinking robusta because I prefer smoother flavours.

>>17665056
Tea is superior in every way.

>>17671209
Nobody in the Western hemisphere is drinking Robusta.

Just use whitening toothpaste. I drink 2 or 3 cups a day. My teeth are fine.
