I must be the last person on earth not to care a dime
about grande-caramel-macchiato-skimmed-milk-late-
with-mid-roast-arabica-bean blah blah.

I just want soluble Nescafe, in large quantities, to wake
me up in the morning. Like a donkey kick straight to my
skull. Actually, anything will do, really. Even the market's
generic brand.

Why do people fetishize coffee? Or wine or beer for that
purpose? Drugs are drugs. Period.

Differentiating and appreciating quality is what sets us apart from the aardvarks.

It all does the same thing (with slight variations in caffeine content).

So you might as well like it going down.

This thread is a copy cat Thread 166504 which was copycated from Thread 166502.

And it is a good examply why elder threads should be revived as opposed to post the same things over and over in new threads.

Why do the liquid at all? Just take a caffeine tablet, comes in 100 and 200 mg. That will wake you up without all the faldarah of having to heat up the water, actually stirring in powder.

God, no.

We have quite enough "necro" threads being brought back from the dead.

It's severe bad form. Let them be.

But they taste like dreck. Nothing like a nice Arabica.

Powder? Clearly you're uninformed. Grind your own beans, Neanderthal.

Not trying to go one up, but I roast my own beans as well as grinding. Much better!

Cant beat a good grind in the morning.

Honestly speaking, it is not only the caffeine but the hot water.

When in dire straits, I have drank straight hot water in the morning
and, although it doesn't wake me up, it flushes down the pipes.

In my defense, I spoke as a life long tea drinker🙂

I don't like the taste of coffee, coffee flavored ice cream, coffee anything.

I do like the smell of fresh ground beans though. Which is odd. Why doesn't it taste the way the beans smell?

Perhaps you haven't had a truly well-made cup of excellent coffee. Coffee, well-made, does taste like the beans smell, only more so.
