Coffee

[tk]

Hey, 667.

Are you a coffee person?

I used to hate coffee because it tastes bitter, and I remember getting tremors just from drinking one of those 3-in-1 instant coffee sachets back in my uni days.
But I started drinking coffee last year, and now I can't start my morning without it (usually with lots of sugar & cream).

Unfortunately, I am fasting today so I can't get my usual cup of coffee.

As I struggle to stay awake at my desk, I start to wonder if coffee really does help you stay awake, or if it's all just psychological. There's probably some research papers out there that I can consult on this matter, but I'm too sleepy to bother.

Half an hour left to lunch time -- looking forward to taking a nap.

In the meantime, do share if you believe in coffee, or if your allegiance lies with tea (bitter as wormwood or otherwise).

Ice coffee on the other hand, I will drink whenever I get the chance.

Same here! I prefer iced lattes over a hot cup of coffee.

I also can't seem to tolerate coffee without milk/creamer. Would be ideal if I can cut down on the milk, since my dermatologist said it's one of the things that can worsen my acne problem.

I love it, and I love the ritual of it and I spend more money on it than I should. I usually try to limit myself to only 2 a day, but sometimes I have three. I think I like iced and hot equally honestly. When I buy coffee to have at home, I'll always buy beans from a local shop to try to support local businesses, plus they're better quality.

I lived with someone a year and a half ago for 6 weeks who used a stove-top mocha pot to make his, and since then I've never used anything different.

Edit: I think I've also been drinking it since I was about 12

I don't like black coffee, but love me some frappes, chilled caramel macchiato, or iced coffee. Now that I think about it, I generally prefer chilled coffee products.

try almond or oat milk coffee !

I always find the taste of coffee disappointing compared to the smell. I drink coffee sometimes but not regularly, I prefer not getting addicted to things.

We went to my sister and brother in law's place at the weekend and they have a proper filter coffee machine and made coffee for everyone, which I think puts them on ultimate adult level, which I will probably never reach. The coffee tasted great too.

i tried almond milk before, it wasn't to my liking! i'm willing to try oat milk!

[Pumpka]

I don't really like almond milk, the texture is too watery and the flavour too much focused on the roasted rather than the almond, so to me it tastes a bit like burnt water. Oat milk is not like that at all, I love oat milk.

I'm not a huge fan of the taste, but because of how nice it smells, I like making it for other people. The grocery store I work at is getting a location of a coffee shop chain this summer.
