I hate the taste of coffee. The initial taste is bearable but it always leaves a shit after taste. Beer on the other hand only one I genuine like is Guinness, or it has to at least be dark. Light beers all taste like unfilterd Detroit water to me.

>>385796052
>starbucks and other chains

Might as well drink your coffee at McDonalds at that point.

Go to a coffeeshop, ask for different blends you can test out and try them out to see what kind of coffee you like.
Work your way from there to eventually creating your own blends to suit your tastes.

Adding some sugar and milk is perfectly fine if you think it tastes better. You can also remove bitterness by adding very very tiny amounts of salt, we're talking so little you shouldn't even taste it. This is because salt counteracts bitterness but your tastebuds are more sensitive to bitterness so you can remove the bitterness without adding any salty flavour this way.

I'll even drink decaf same as always. I just like having a cup in the morning. Some people actually enjoy the taste of some things, I'm sure it's shocking.

I was about to leave but I wanted to say this too. I drank two cups of strong coffee every day for years. For the fuck of it, I stopped cold turkey for about a month or two. Not even tea because I wanted to see if I would suffer without caffeine. I was just fine. Drink it, see if you like it. It's not like crack, you can drink it quite a bit before dependence.

Addictions aren't real. You only get addicted to shit (drugs, games, coffee) if you're soft-brained and depressed in the first place.

For some reason caffeine doesn't do anything for me so it's no use drinking it in the morning unless it's cold outside. I only drink it with cake because bitter and sweet things taste amazing together.

Then how come drug users immediately forget their compounds when they're offered a chance to take their dose in a doctor's office? In a safe place, for free, with someone helping them? The thrill leaves and they can't get buzzed in such a sterile environment. They're not addicted to the chemical, they're addicted to the way of life.

>People will violently defend their drug and act like you are the crazy one for not poisoning yourself to the point of passing out

Most conversations I've had about beer go one of two ways:

>Would you like a beer?
>Sure

>Would you like a beer?
>Ew, no. God, why does everyone drink beer? People say it's an acquired taste, but it all tastes like shit. Is that what it is? That you just drink something that's bad to be socially acceptable until you fool yourself into thinking it's good?
>Okay.

If someone is badgering you to drink until you pass out every single time they bring up beer, they have a problem. Either that, or you're in high school where the only people you interact with that drink beer are other dumbshit high schoolers who measure coolness by the ability to drink entire kegs of Natty or Bud they had to ask an older cousin to buy at parties they're hiding from their parents.

Because being elitist to people who have only a casual interest in your hobby is retarded.

>"Wow I will never put that much effort into something, I'll just make fun of them to make myself feel better"

I am almost positive that the people you think are just too spineless or lazy to be invested in some other hobby and have an educated opinion on it aren't, they have their own shit that they're really knowledgeable about, but they aren't ramming it down your throat because no one likes being an abrasive dick.

You might actually be autistic though.

Essentially Robusta is a sturdier crop, it less likely to get hit by disease and pests. In exchange Robusta Coffee Beans are bitter. Cheap Coffees do a blend of both.

You see most midrange coffee beans advertise 100% Arabica for that reason. With that said there are some high end coffees that do use apparently a better version of Robusta because it might help balance the coffee, I don't know because I just stick with Costco's Coffee along with Trader Joe's.

In terms of coffee I keep it relatively simple, Tea Kettle, French Press, and a Coffee Grinder. Yes I paid a couple hundred for the Grinder but it keeps the beans Fresher for longer.

Vodka has a very strong taste and chads want to drink lots of it to get super drunk fast. So you've got to use a mixer to make it taste better. Normies don't like such alcohol-heavy drinks so they add a mixer to dilute it a bit.

This shit is misleading clickbait, hell even fake news.

YES I've had 7 dollar bottles of Wines that I've absolutely loved. And $200 bottles that I could even finish a glass of. Wine is very subjective and price alone is not a determing factor of whether the drinker will find it to be a good wine.

But a true Wine Expert can BLINDLY taste a wine and tell you what it is. I've met Somms it's an amazing talent probably something few people can have. You have to have a very fine pallette and an excellent memory.

At the end of the day though it really doesn't matter. Just buy the varietal you think is tasty, I'm a Merlot drinker myself. The more expensive the wine is it's more likely than not because it comes from a certain legendary Winery. But if you don't like a French wine the $1000 bottle probably won't change your opinion. At that price Wine is a fucking status symbol, same for high end booze.

Because we don't. If you're talking about some ingrained disdain for people on top, that's different than someone with an invested knowledge and interest in a hobby that displays it in the most annoying way possible. That's two entirely different conversations.

The reason people don't like elitists and snobs is because they act like dicks, not because they're too lazy to have a hobby of their own. Which is what I said in my first post.

>>
>>385800957
its a meme ish.

its a bitch to setup and its just a glorified water boiler. it does look cool though but it's not on the "its useful enough for me to use enough" and also "cool"

just get a press or look up types of coffee makers. like chemex or french press (I use this, totally fine and totally easy).

it cost like 40 I think, I also recommend getting a water boiler. and a hand Burr (never grind). Also make sure you never buy ground coffee always beans for fresh coffee. Also keep the beans fresh as possible (like an airtight container).

Mess around with some simple equipment first, learn the temperatures and grinds and then move on to fancy stuff that you'll use once in a while.
>>
>>385800957
I bought an espresso machine for $60 at World Market when I was first starting out. I didn't know how to clean it right though so the steamer got all cruddy and the coffee took forever to make. If I took care of it it'd last for a lot longer I'm sure. Now I have that Ninja coffee bar cause I fell for all the bells and whistles and was too cheap to get a real good machine. It works pretty well though. Seems like the real key to getting the full flavor is how fine you grind the beans.

I think theres more to it than that but you can also appreciate the fact that its a very nice car, and it does actually drive better and just feel better than some shitty junker.

Energy drink mixers are shit, fuck drinking red bull all night. I want to stay out and have fun but I want to sleep when I get home too, red bull just wires me for ages and means I can't sleep till 8-9am

HOLY SHIT way to derail a thread, we were speaking quirks, not philosophy behind bitter bewerages.

Nah, I don't get effected by it at all. I only drink Coffee because I love the taste.
I also don't drink any fancy shit, just the stuff they sell att the store.

I don't understand that, I don't act any different while I'm drunk. I feel a bit numb physically but that's it. I've been wasted in front of my mother before and she didn't notice.

Everyone I've ever met that had this opinion has always been manchildren or women.

I only drink in the comfort of my own home by myself. I just end up laughing at stupid shit and stumble a bit when walking. Further off I start going on about whatever the fuck makes me start talking like if i'm watching a video. The worst it's ever gotten is me waking up with my fucking vacuum cleaner in the bed propped up on the headboard, which would've fucked me if it fell on my head, but that was only once.

Damn. Sorry, man. Maybe we'll have esophagus transplants in the near future?

Same and the women have that opinion because they like fruity light shit and have never had a wheat beer. I literally have never met someone that wasn't like the edgy man child contrarian or a girl that says they hate beer. There's so many types its like saying you hate cheese and they all taste bad, you have to be a fucking idiot to say something like that.

If you're making japanese curry from the easy-to-find S&B curry, try grating one or two small fiji apples into it and one or two tablespoons of honey to taste.

germanfag here
theres something called Radler or Alster which is a type of beer which is a mix of Beer and soda. Its not a specific brand tho
I mean it tastes nice but barely anything like beer anymore

Oh but if you guys are from the states theres even a chance that this beer wasnt even from germany but some pretend foreign thing brewed in America. They like to do that a lot

Yeah except all beer tastes like shit and most coffee tastes fine as long as you don't burn the milk

>burn the milk

awww little baby takes his coffee with milk how cute
you should get some sugar and cream as well, you innocent little baby
>>
>>385804116

The only time it's even possible to burn the milk is when the whole drink is made on milk, like a cappuccino
>>
>>385804116
don't be mean anon.

frothed milk and coffee tastes great.
Sure maybe he needs the coffee because he can't handle the smooth and robust flavor of black coffee, but it doesn't mean you should make fun of his weak and pleb like palette.

I visit McDonald's in Israel just for the coffee. It's surprisingly good. Most coffee joints in Jewland present pretty good coffee. Prices in most of 'em are through the roof, though.

Naw I had that citrus flavor beer while I was visiting Singapore at some bar.

Fuck I can't remember the name. It was great though. I could only get it at that one bar though, I could never find it anywhere else.
