You know coffee doesn't have to taste like shit? - Black coffee discussion

[Realistic Elephant]

I found a recipe for chai coffee. Has anyone ever tried it? Just wondering it as I am going to try making it over the weekend once I get all the ingredients.

It's probably pretty good since masala chai uses a strong black tea like Assam. The masala also uses a lot of cardamom, which is also used in Arabic coffee.

why are you lunatics diluting the coffee with water? just crunch on the fucking beans whole

I heat my water in the microwave and then add instant coffee (nescafe), whole milk, and sugar. Sup

I had always liked faggotty floofy coffee in my teens, like frappucinos with whipped cream, lattes, delicious cappucinos with foam and all that sweet sick shit that Starbucks sells. I still wouldn't turn any of that down. But when I started working 14-16 hour shifts I also started drinking black coffee. If we were lucky someone would bring in Folgers but most of the time we had state coffee. That stuff drank like a brick to the face. And I ended up enjoying that because it helped the caffeine keep me awake, so I think a lot of black coffees are sort of a situational/acquired taste. Since I have been home I don't even drink any coffee anymore. While I was there I couldn't go a single shift without some nasty ass black state coffee halfway thru

I'm pretty sure coffee is satanic, jew-bolshevik capitalism tool to make you shit faster so you take shorter bathroom breaks. It breaks your spirit and ass.

Like my coffee, preferably light roast, with cream and honey. Sugar gives me the shakes followed with the crash. Honey is a good substitute, better for you to (if its real honey at least). I like black coffee to, but some of them taste like dog shit on its own somehow, and I've had MRE coffee.

Also, fuck International Delight creamer. Tastes like absolute ass.

International Delight creamer literally has no milk or cream (it's palm oil, sugar and water), that's why it's so fucked up lol. If you want, try a creamer with milk or cream as the first ingredient - they're much, much better.

I like flavored creamers - Starbucks is my go-to brand, but Coffee Mate Natural Bliss is my backup. Since it's got sugar in it, I just add ~2tbsp to my cup of coffee and call it a day. So, so good.

For me personally, Coffee Mate is ok, but I really enjoy Darigold. Starbucks is good to, as much as I dislike the company. Can't deny they make good shit.

This stuff is bottom of the barrel, cheapest of the cheap but I actually prefer it to Nescafe. Doesnt have that tang Nescafe does and is quite mellow. No sugar just a splash of cow juice.

I didn't become a coffee drinker until very recently because I felt like it was either bitter black agony, or 2000 calorie beetus-bombs.
I always liked coffee ice cream even as as a kid so my gateway into coffee was a blended mocha. I was a barista for a while and tried a lot of things while I practiced, and found that I like lattes a lot- the creaminess of the milk works well to cut down the bitterness of the coffee. But now I'm finding that coffee isn't as bitter to me as it used to be. I might just brew it light but when I make french press coffee it doesn't need anything in it. I use a good brand that's made locally as well.

Frothing milk is fun and a little pinch of cinnimon or a square of chocolate melted in makes it feel ~fancy~

Half and half for me. I have been adding ceylon cinnamon in my coffee too and it's quite the game changer.

Seconding this, if a creamer doesn't have some form of liquid dairy in its ingredients then it's just not worth it. If I'm not having half-and-half (or whole milk) in my coffee I'm having Chobani creamer, I've recently become addicted to their St. Patrick's Day-themed flavor.

Funnily enough a friend of my mother mentioned that, when she was working in the hotel industry, they'd add a mixture of holiday-associated spices to Folger's coffee to make a cheap "premium" holiday blend coffee for guests.
