Love the smell, but the taste is awful. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] bull@aussie.zone 5 points 3 years ago (3 children) I shared that opinion for the first 35 years of my life. It turns out I just hadn't tried good coffee (espresso). There are so many ways to have coffee too.. I did a bit of experimenting, started out with lattes with a couple of sugars and moved on to stronger brews over a few months. I'm not pounding triple shot long blacks or anything but I do love me a nice cup of Joe these days. Never ever touch instant coffee. I'm not even sure how people call that stuff coffee. I also thought beer was disgusting until I was 26. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] 6368_39162@lemm.ee 5 points 3 years ago (1 child) Rather like that coffee icecream with the choc almonds in it permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Mittens_meow@aussie.zone 1 point 3 years ago* Coffee gelato is my go to. I hate coffee as a drink unless it’s sugary Starbucks gunk! I only use it when very sleep deprived and struggle at work. I get shaky and heart palpitations permalink fedilink source parent [–] mayotized@aussie.zone 5 points 3 years ago I can do it, but my stomach hates it when I drink coffee. permalink fedilink source parent [–] RosaliePreistley@aussie.zone 2 points 3 years ago Instant works is cheap and put tumeric pepper honey and soy in it tastes not bad. I gave trying to have fancy coffee at home years ago. Saved a fortune on buying average stove top stuff. It's still not a huge step up from instand imo compared to the great stuff you can get everywhere in Melbourne. I still have some perculator coffee and a moka pot of course for when people come over. permalink fedilink source parent [–] 6368_39162@lemm.ee 4 points 3 years ago I don’t dislike it, but it makes me feel peculiar. Basically just don’t see what all the fuss is about and can’t be bothered. permalink fedilink source parent
