Depending on good coffee puts us in a dangerous place. What happens when there is only bad coffee? Will we give in?--I've actually been there, and I had to switch to tea 😵

Sometimes I put vegetable milk in my coffee; I like to make the milks myself and make lattes with cashew milk, almond milk, and coconut milk mostly. But really, my coffee is always or almost always black.

Sort:  

Very interesting is how to make the milk yourself, I don't really consume milk because of the lactose, but I have been told that plant-based milk does not have that discomfort effect. I am going to try!

Happy Saturday with a delicious coffee ☕

Lactose! That's the reason why I make my own milk. I could buy vegetable milk, but it's too expensive for me and not as delicious as homemade. The easiest to make is with cashews; you let them soak for two hours, rinse them, and then add water--I add a little salt, cinnamon, and vanilla--and process them in the blender. No bagasse left.

It is only since the 2000s that good coffee has been commonly available in the US; I remember one of my best friends in the 90s was the first to start drinking coffee when we were teenagers and the coffee was still mostly bad. I could tell how good or bad it was based on how much sugar and creamer she put in it. 😂 One time she put in 4 packets of sugar and I was like, "Wow, if it's that bad, why are you drinking it??" LOL

...the unfathomable mysteries of bad coffee 😂🤣

You're lucky to live in this era when coffee is ubiquitous, though I know you have to pay a lot for good coffee.
