Many recent studies found coffee is healthy as fuck:

Some folks think it means Starbucks is good. NOPE.
Starbucks isn’t coffee. It’s actually trash:
Real coffee is this:
Also:
-
Tea is also great and healthy. Tea is not addictive.
-
If you drink coffee, avoid it after 11:AM. Seriously.
Switching over to black coffee last year was tough at first, but now it is sooooo much better. I actually kinda dislike it with sweeteners and creamers now.
as someone from brazil, the whole concept of american gourmet coffee scares me, my grandma puts too much sugar on her coffee but americans are something else
that aint coffee, thats fucking high caffeine milkshake
You won’t like Vietnamese coffee then. I’m open to it, but in very small amounts. It’s very sweet and they add lots of condensed milk. In the end, it doesn’t really resemble coffee that much.
It’s just hot Dairy Queen.
No idea why women are attracted to it.
Go sit at a Starbucks with your “just a plain, regular coffee, none of this Frappuccino half-caff double-whip soy latte crap” order. You’ll see plenty of men grabbing the same coffee milkshakes as women. They’re all attracted to it the same way they’re all attracted to milkshakes: for being a tasty drink. The only difference is some men are embarrassed to admit it’s fine to enjoy a Frappuccino. Or a sweet cocktail, for that mater. And yet, if you make a sweet, fruity, caffeine drink but put it in a scary container, suddenly it’s manly to drink Monster, right?
It’s really not that complicated.
Moving to the Pacific North West helped. Compared to the test of the US, we actually have good coffee haha
okay that’s cheating. I have a damn fine coffee shop i drink at when i’m feeling rich here. We were visiting the inlaws in Puyallup and omg. even the hotel coffee i did not want to leave.
Yep. Even the drive through stripper coffee ain’t half bad.
you know funny thing the wife did not suggest going to one of those with her relatives
Her loss.
Dude, there’s good coffee everywhere.
And I blame where you are for the garbage that is Starbucks.
I’m sorry to post basically an ad, but I get my coffee from an LA based roaster called YES PLZ and it’s incredible. I do live in the PNW tho lol
That’s cool, I’ll look them up. I like a few small roasters and the coffee is always amazing, but I am cheap and lazy, so usually I just get whatever from wherever (not sbux or Folger’s/maxwell tho haha I have standards). The biggest factors I’ve noticed at home are using freshly ground beans with a decent machine. Getting the fancy ninja machine and a mill grinder was a real game changer.
Dude if you can try Colombian coffee, don’t need no gourmet just buy what you can find. I love sello Rojo, it’s less strong than pilão but has more taste.
As for American coffee, the things I tried when travelling didn’t taste like coffee at all. Everywhere I go that has this American style coffee capsules I have to put 2 expressos to even find the coffee smell, and that’s from a Brazilian that thinks pilão is strong.
Capsules?
You mean that stupid machine with the pods? Yea, fuck that, it’s not good. And it’s expensive per serving.
Even plain drip coffee is better than that crap if you buy good coffee.
Try a pinch of salt.
Then try it with a big spoonful of salt.
