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.
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.
I mostly drink decaf, so I literally drink coffee mostly for taste.
