    Bruh coffee is just a caffeine delivery juice, you have to put cream and sugar in it just so it doesn’t taste super bitter. A lot of tea tastes good just on their own. Scoreboard.

      Coffee is great, the problem is most coffee is brewed horribly. Get yourself a cheap pour over set and a kettle and you’ll get significantly better results, with much more improvement possible past that with whole beans and a decent grinder

      Try speciality coffee. The average cup of coffee is not particularly good, but freshly ground speciality coffee brewed with care is great and does not warrant cream and sugar.

      Beware that it’s easy to go down a rabbit hole and find yourself having spent a whole lot of time and money on it after a while. It’s all part of the fun, though.

        Except even the best specialty coffee I had (and trust me I had some good ones because a friend of mine went down that same rabbit hole you probably went down and wanted me to try) still had way too many acids in it which meant it tasted great until it again turned my entire mouth to ash and grey bitterness…

        So in other words the “primary” taste/body of coffee can get really great, but it’s still not worth the bitterness after.

      When I drink black tea I oversteep it and then add a bunch of sugar. For coffee it’s espresso with lots of creamer. Full bitter and full sweet so my mouth is too confused to know if it’s good or not.
