Every morning now you’ll see me at a Starbucks with a larger hot water pouring instant coffee packets into it

I’m not ashamed
Even if I was was rich I wouldn’t pay 15.00 for a fucking coffee lol

I call it a Starbucks workaround lol

trust me: if you're the kind of person that a) finds instant coffee acceptable or b) finds the stuff starbucks serves acceptable - you don't know anything about coffee.

@tosensei oh no I like good coffee but sometimes a person needs to choke down on their pigheaded stupid pretentiousness and just make do lol

Grin that was just as satisfying as last time. Do you smoke after sex ? Lol

@AvatarOfKaine nope. if you _really_ like good coffee, you'd punch someone offering you instant garbage

Buying good coffee beans a grinder and a bialetti and there you go, best cheap starbucks workaround

Also less waiting time, than at starbucks

@tosensei Maybe you would.

If one likes good coffee, does that mean one can't also enjoy a coffee-taste-drink from a tiny hermetic packaging?

I like a _really_ good pasta. I also like insta-ramen as a different meal from time to time.

Not mutually exclusive.

@catgirldev "cheap" 8 dollar for a fucking beverage???
In germany its 5-7 euro for a frappucino

@catgirldev exactly the comparison to apple is perfectly fitting

@jonas-w The primary use case for Macbooks is hipsters hanging out at Starbucks, after all.

@AvatarOfKaine Yet, going into a Starbucks with your own hot water and instant coffee isn't ?

If you don't approuve the prices/business why bother going there ?

Stay 5 minutes longer at home and enjoy any coffee you want. (You can even take an irish coffee...)

@tosensei well agree that you’re impractical lol

@catgirldev that’s cheap ?????! Lol 8.00 for water and coffee grounds and some fucking milk and syrup is cheap ????!?!

@catgirldev I used to be able to get a 24 oz drip coffee for 1.80 or so and it didn’t taste any worse

@jonas-w will admit their camera is better though

@Grumm well primarily because when I’m stopping at Starbucks it’s because I’m traveling and need a place to escape the sun charge devices etc

Otherwise I never go to Starbucks and do indeed either brew my own coffee drink work coffee or buy a coffee at one of the convenience stores from the big brewed batches

I will say however that some Starbucks are well designed and classy establishments like the ones in Illinois or one or two of them in Massachusetts

@Grumm most basically resemble a subway lol

@Grumm and no I get the hot water milk and sugar from them
For free lol

@Grumm still not understanding ? I’m po at the moment lol

@AvatarOfKaine Oh didn't know they give you that stuff for free. (I never go there xD)

@AvatarOfKaine what ?

@AvatarOfKaine doubt it

I think it is not about only money, the taste counts

Surely It's cheaper to buy a travel kettle?

@ojt-rant like this... https://amazon.com/-/de/...

I found a really good combo:

- whole milk warmed for 2 minutes to make just hot enough

- 1 spoonful of Mexican instant coffee

- 1 spoonful of Swiss Miss cocoa

I would not call this good coffee, but it sure tastes really good. Probably not healthy at all either.

Coffee should never be anything other than like this

@nibor exactly, pure water and beans nothing else

@nibor where are the other 4?

@ojt-rant what four?

@Demolishun it’s boiled bean dust with a stimulant in it
Personal taste is really what it boils down to heh

@rarboot for a "quick hit", i recommend cold brew. i'm making an extract that keeps fresh several weeks and just needs to be mixed 1:4 with boiled water for perfect coffee.

and in a pinch, it's very effective against constipation

@tosensei the brew that brew you?

@tosensei for people for whom french press isn't trendy enough heh

i WONDER if there is an imposter there now. heh.

do john here a favor and catch said imposter and lock him up.
