Agreed…
I can drink 100 ibu beer but can’t drink black coffee…
@jb55 how do you like your coffee these days? Pure black?
I'll put out the idea that the beans and roast have a decent influence on whether you need to add in other stuff to make it palatable :wisp_cute:
100% a fresh roast vs shitty muli-month old beans makes a huge diffrence.
random… but yes black
Milk and sugar good
After choking down tongkat ali mixed with water, and then eating a spoonful of shilajit powder with honey, black coffee may as well be a glass of chocolate milk.
Though, it's worth noting that it may have less to do with your manliness and more to do with the low quality coffee you're exposed to. Get a good hand picked light roast (maybe medium if you don't handle acidity well) and you may not even recognize it as the same sort of beverage as mechanically picked unripened burned crap that gets peddled as "coffee."
The trick isn't masking the shit out of your coffee; it's throwing it away and getting better coffee.
That all said, I'm not above a decent cappuccino with a bit of sugar and cinnamon when it's time for dessert.
Second this
Ice cream season is kicking off here, lesgoooow #peatstr
Not gonna say I don't just drink store brand medium roast black and deal with it fwiw, but I do hear ya on the flavor.
One trick I have used though that I personally like anyway is actually stepping away from the sweetener and dairy and towards spices. I've done a few different things, including just throwing cacao in with the grinds, but the one I do most often is some cloves, cinnamon, and cardamom (which actually counteracts the jitters), sometimes with the additional other spices that make up pumpkin spice blends. Also, a TINY bit of salt can go a long way to cut bitterness, but you don't want to actually taste any saltiness.
Seems like people want to make sure their nostr dev of choice drinks their coffee black to ensure they're not unmanly by proxy...or something?
That's me after trying to gulp down tongkat ali. Stuff is soooo bitter.
It's almost annoying that it does seem to work wonders on cutting down cortisol though.
@Laeserin likes it black too?
Thirded. I used to do this until I had good coffee...now I'm an "I like my coffee how I like my wimmin. Strong and black." kind of lady.
GM. Start with limiting the sugar. I like some coffee with milk or cream. Espresso, is so tasty on its own....

Man enough though, didn’t make a swirly heart! 😂
GM! I’m americano only. Starts to taste like chocolate milk after a while lol
GM. This is your least-based take. 😂💜🐕
Hey brother, its ok. At least you're manly enough to admit you're a sissy little girl
No, I'm black enough.

Nobody going for Turkish coffee?
Nee, Milchkaffee mit viel Milch, bitte.
Anything less, would be uncivilized...
Avec un peu de sucre aussi ?
I've got some of that kicking around. From Lebanon not Turkey but same style. Light roast with cardamom.
I'm usually more a French press guy because I just bring the whole thing down to my desk with me to drink through the morning.

Arabica 100%, light roast, ground just before brewing. Filter. Aeropress is my favourite, other methods will do. It's a completely different world. Smells like your regular coffee, but doesn't taste like clinker and ash. Adding milk or sugar actually ruins it. Ask at your local specialty coffee place what they have to offer.
Same but no sugar. Espresso and some milk is delicious.
