Coffee

just made tea, because my landlord has a guest sitting at the kitchen table--one of the few common areas in the apartment, located right by the electric kettle, in a kitchen that's crowded any time more than one person people--& I wanted to minimize time spent in their presence

so I put two teabags of Twining's Vanilla Chai in a big mug with some honey & added "190 degree" water
short brew (<5 mins I think though I wasn't timing it) because even if I'm a yank, I'm not a savage; plus 2 bags = etc

anyway, it came out tasting fine; still I can't help thinking coffee would've been better

I should just go to the library, otherwise I'm gonna sit here trying to work, having to listen to them chat downstairs, silently resenting them because I'm still dwelling on the dank cup of coffee I could've had if they hadn't been there when I got home, brooding over that shit & driving myself crazy, until I feel like going in there, banging pots & pans together & chasing them off to the bedroom

... instead of which, I'm abou to fall asleep over this mug of tea ffs

okay I have drunk the tea now, it cooled off just enough to get down fast in 3-4 big gulps... is there like a tea equivalent of espresso? should I patent that idea??

(I am pretending to be a total tea novice & writing this like an erowid trip report; but the truth is, BACK IN THE DAY long before I developed my present coffee addiction, I was such a nerd about tea that I owned one of these & used it on the daily: http://www.crateandbarrel.com/tea-stick-tea-infuser/s132094 )

I try to avoid caffeine after 3pm but when I need evening/night caffeine for work reasons I've switched to tea. Ahmad is my brand of choice.

So here I am reading this coffee thread, sipping tea, when the tea proceeds to SPILL ALL FUCKING OVER THE PLACE which surely would have not happened with coffee.

Fuck you, tea. Coffee 4evah.

Heated thermos? Sound like a good idea. xxp

The thing about coffee is that when you drink it it's like "Unnnnngh, coffee." You're never like "Unnnnnngh, tea," it's more like "Hmmmmm, tea."

You're projecting onto yr cups

tea looks harmless but can potentially be stronger than coffee, muckers

irish breakfast + milk = good

really strong coffee tastes amazing

really strong tea tastes bitter and gross

how are you making your tea stronger?

Had a cup of coffee at intelligentsia this morning, very fruity. I can appreciate all the flavor, but I prefer smokey coffee.

*nods*

I hate smokey coffee, death to dark roast, fruity cup o' bean juice forever!

sometimes i want light roast
sometimes i want dark roast

most of the time i want medium roast

Been away from my coffee rig since last Wednesday, more than ready for a tearful reunion

I tried butter coffee today, holy shit it's vile.

googled it

thought there'd be more to it

sounds gross though

was craving coffee today but i need to hold off til the weekend

i assume it's that bulletproof coffee shit?

had a morning cof today, tempted to try an evening cof. maybe with a bit of the ould whiskey and cream.

otm

love that there's just a thread ppl bump every time they drink coffee now lmao

basically bulletproof but I don't have any coconut oil or his bullshit beans so it was just Chemex, local beans + butter

butter tea is good

butter coffee is about as palatable as putting cream in ur coffee aka okay

unless I am having a cappuccino or a cortado or similar espresso-based drink I pretty much never put milk in my coffee

i've never had butter coffee. hope they use unsalted.

yeah unsalted is used

salty drinks can be good imo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chanh_mu%E1%BB%91i

Mm http://i.imgur.com/gKPAQ8U.jpg

気持ち悪い

salty drinks can definitely be good eg salt lassis or gose beer

but not in my cof
