Here’s my “black coffee” this morning.

Double infuriating: everytime I tell people that “baristas” and coffee people can’t comprehend the concept of black coffee, I get back talk. Here’s the first coffee I’ve ordered in 10 years because of this persistent problem, guess what, they lived up to the complaint… they can’t formulate the concept of black coffee in their own mind.

    OP went to McDonald’s (it reads McCafé, and the colours are right) and is trash talking minimum wage employees because he couldn’t be fucked to be clear in communication, and likely couldn’t offer a modicum of respect for the employees.

    Your expectations are way too high for McDonald’s. They are not baristas, and most importantly, they are most likely teenagers. It’s not impossible you accidentally got someone else’s coffee, too. Shit happens. Stop being a child about it, and politely ask to switch it out.

    OP, you have issues. Also, your car is fucking disgusting, I feel bad for whatever mechanic has to work on it. Start with that, you have bigger problems in life.

      Honestly, the coffee at the McDonald’s in Germany and the Netherlands is really good. Better than many coffee shops and Starbucks. It’s the only reason I sometimes go to McDonald’s. When traveling, it usually is the best you can get at train stations. Especially when drinking black.

        Will have to test that out if I ever visit! Here in Canada, it’s mildly better than Tim’s but it’s still just stained water IMO. Rather go to a real coffee shop, or god forbid, Starbucks.

          I prefer my freshly grinded home brew. I’m never drinking Starbuck, it’s tasteless toxic junk. It’s not even in the coffee category. I prefer drinking my own piss over that equally disgusting yet expensive liquid waste.

            Same tbh, still better than Tim’s / McD somehow. There’s a community roasting facility near where I live, and it means I’m surrounded with excellent coffee shops that roast their own beans there, so whatever I buy and grind myself from these shops will be excellent.

              I think most people overlook the importance of drinking really good coffee. Sure, you get some caffeine from blackwater, but the moment of enjoyment when drinking something proper, that moment of bliss in the morning, makes your day start so much better. Mediterranean countries understand this principle. Same goes for food.

              Also, I don’t know what Tim’s is.
