Wow, that's some caffeine fueled edgelording right there.

My wife loves ice coffees. I like it hot.

You have to be a girl to appreciate things that actually taste good, you see

Among all drinks I like Tea.

Eliminating the hyperbole, it does seem true that women are more likely than men to have a sweet tooth.

I fit into this statistic as I express a Y chromosome and don't have much craving for sweets. I drink most of my coffee straight black. I'll also try most food stuffs as long as they don't apparently pose any significant health risks, so I'm good with tripe, bugs, gamalost, whatever funky cheeses you can get, hakarl, etc.

That's why I eat so much. I want my semen to taste like sugar.

Black coffee is perfect for me. I'm with Guybrush, not really interested in sweets.

Thanks for the tip

While I don't drink espressos as much, I do enjoy them. In my late teens, I was working at a coffee place and trying to perfect cappucinos, so they're my favorites alongside a con panna with homemade cream with just a bit of sugar in it <3 We still have a standalone milk steamer / foamer packed away somewhere, so then that can come out of retirement too.

Oh man does that sound tasty! You'll have to update the thread after your wife tries the moka pot. I think she'll be pleased

You all take your coffee seriously! My friends are all very particular when it comes to their coffee. I'd probably be that way if I liked the stuff.

I don't think I could make a decent cup of coffee. I've never really tried, honestly.

It's a hobby for some people. It is for me. I like trying new blends and ways of extracting the flavor. Nothing quite like setting up the french press on a chilly morning, then bringing my mug out on the porch and watching the ducks swim by.

That does sound nice.
