That was me. The only reason I tried coffee was to have another drink to order when out!Taipan wrote: ↑Sun Nov 12, 2023 12:26 pm
Confirmed tea drinker here. Never got the coffee buzz, despite trying various types. Dont mind a Carajillo (black coffee and brandy) after a meal, but mostly i'll decline the offer of a coffee. Soemtimes wish I did like it as so many seem to get so much out of them?
Then I tried the coffee at my mates shop and quite liked it (with too much sugar and loads of water added!) and her coffee guy came to an open day once and had various coffees with him. I had quite a good chat with him about various types and he sorted out one for me that was less bitter and more gentle than others. Still had extra water and loads of sugar, but I've been reducing both for a while.
Downside up here is that everyone sells strong bitter coffee and prefers to serve it as a shot! LOL But, at the restaurant I go to in the interseason, I've got down to an allonge with just a top up of hot water in the cup rather than a pot of hot water on the side to add. So, given my non sugar at home this weekend, it'll be interesting to try his coffee with less/no sugar!
As with tea, I won't drink coffee after lunchtime. All the decaff versions I've tried are jsut so so bitter At least decaf tea still tasted like tea! LOL
Not sure I get a buzz as such, but it's nice to be a cheapskate and drink the cheap coffee when out rather than hot choc or expensive and rubbish tea!! LOL
