that's... no.
i'm not into the fancy stuff, i have only whatever was cheap to get (plastic v60, first-gen aeropress, a french press i got for free) but... if you want to drink coffee, at least drink coffee.
A Mr. Coffee does make coffee. It’s kinda shit for multiple reasons, but then again nobody drinks it for its flavor as a coworker likes to remind me…
I like the flavor of coffee :(
I think he means the coffee that comes from a Mr. Coffee.
I think we drink it because it's there, not because it's good.
no, i don't care about the machine. you do you. just don't put other stuff in it. coffee is expensive.
Or people can enjoy what they like
no >:c
yeah but then you drink the coffee. you don't dilute it.
I assume you only ever drink straight espresso.
As someone who almost exclusively drinks straight espresso I see nothing wrong with the pic in the post. They seem to be enjoying themselves so who gives a shit? Like, seriously. I might not like it personally, but I can guarantee they’d hate what I drink. We should all just drink what we enjoy.
As opposed to gay espresso?
👀
Made me snort.
Enjoy the upvote.
no, i can't handle espresso.
Boo, fuck off.
I'd always used one of these machines because that's how I'd seen my parents drink it. But someone at work brought in a French press and it blew my mind. I was already considering replacing the drip machine but I immediately picked up a French press instead. Plus it was creaper than a new machine and no more paper filters.
getting a cheap pourover or an aeropress may be fun for you. i usually do drip because i don't have time in the mornings, but all the different methods of preparation changes the character of the brew.
