New "is coffee a treat" struggle session just dropped
Black no-sugar coffee is drugs, a sugary milky creamy syrupy coffee is treats
Guess I'm a drug addict and not a treatlerite, hell yea
I hate how correct this feels
If you brew it right it doesn't need anything extra
Coffee brewed right is treats.
Only shitty ass instant coffee in too hot water counts as drugs. I'm not talking folders or yuban either. I'm talking nescafé. Anything better is bourgeoisie decadence
I mean most people could live without it, the industry runs on third world exploitation and Americans would riot without it
Sounds like a treat
New way to determine treat: would Americans riot without it?
I didn't take the post title seriously but just in case...
Calling coffee a treat is a bit of an insult to pretty much all the global south bar SEA / East Asia.
Yes, I mainly just wanted a title that sounded snappy and funny. But in all seriousness, I do now see coffee as a treat. I've had to greatly reduce my caffeine intake after developing insomnia six years ago. I have hormone deficiencies due to very severe sleep apnea that went untreated for sometime, and I now find that drinking caffeinated coffee keeps me up no matter how early in the day I drink it. Even decaf can keep me up, so I try not to have it any later than 1 pm.
I now pretty much only drink caffeinated coffee if I want a seasonal flavor (yes, I am in touch with my inner white girl and enjoy a pumpkin spice latte), or if I'm going out for the day an need to stay up later than normal. I normally only have four to six cups of caffeinated coffee each month, so it does feel more like a treat now.
Considering coffee is part of Colombia's culture, with festivals, tourism, and a whole identity influenced by coffee...
Allow me to politely disagree. And I don't think it's that different in other parts of the world.
I think you might have misunderstood what I was saying. By "I see it as a treat", I mean I now consider it a treat for myself when I get the rare chance to have it. I'm talking about it in my own subjective experience, not as something universal. I didn't see it as a treat when I was drinking more coffee in an average day than I currently do in a month.
What is coffee?
a miserable little pile of secrets
Coffee being Hamas is the one part of my post people here have accepted without criticism.
Im just having fun. I can see the argument against it but I view coffee same with tobacco and alcohol as an important core ressource . Happy cake day
