@sinituulia for coffee that probably isn't even as good as what you could make at home for less. people think we're weird for like putting effort into making coffee, but it's less effort than going outside for it?

@sinituulia @elexia if instant coffee tastes too awful, I've found mixing instant coffee with hot cocoa works really well for a ersatz moccachino @sinituulia we really like to experiment especially since we're kinda new to coffee so we get very mixed results, but we found it's not that hard to make decent enough coffee following a basic recipe and adjusting slightly from there. honestly our experimentation is more likely to yield us worse rather than better coffee 😅 @elexia Coffee has to be really bad before it stops functioning as coffee, though. There's quite a bit of leeway! @sinituulia you can make up for a lot of deficiencies with some additives too. we like a particular kind of oat milk for that. @elexia Oat milk, brown sugar and cacao mix (the kind that stirs into even cold liquid) will cover up multiple coffee making mistakes, yes. 😄 |
@elexia Maybe they were just really really bad at making coffee. But personally, I'd just make the bad coffee at home and get the nice coffee later, if I absolutely needed to for any reason.
I like making nice coffee myself, and a very specific dark roast and acidity. But I'll also just make instant coffee with a bunch of sugar if I can't be bothered to.
