    we hate

    “We” don’t. I fucking love it. If I could drink significantly more without disrupting sleep, I would.

    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.

    It doesn’t even need to be expensive or special coffee - just give slightly more mental effort to a drink you consume everyday.

        I found an independent coffee shop that roasts beans in small batches there in the store. Even if all you’re gonna do is drip, that alone is enough.

        But pour over hits the balance between amazing and convenient

        Amusingly, their cappuccinos cost less than at Starbucks…

    I hate the taste of coffee so I don’t drink it. Why are you drinking something you don’t like?

    The taste of coffee varies a lot. Instant coffee tastes bad to me, but grinding my own coffee beans and making it fresh with a little bit of cream is amazing.

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

        It seems taste buds vary a lot too. 😅

      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.

    Who is we ?

    I agree, there is tons of badly made coffee like the automatic vending machinc, or the Americanfast food burning hot coffee served in half a litre buckets.

    But a decent blend done with an expresso machine or at least a moka machinc would be delicious

    I thought you meant the taste of roasted beans. Turns out you actually meant coffee. I don’t understand why you drink something you hate

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