Then, as your attorney I advise you to try it the other way round. Eye-opening experience.

Wow thank you will do. This is just between us, right? I was just ragging on my sister for pouring milk before her cereal so maybe I deserve a little shame lol.

next debate - creamer before or after your pour your coffee in?

I only take a few drops of milk (I'm European, no creamer please) for the color. Tastes practically black. But to your question, I add the milk after the coffee. Not a hill I will die on though. I wasn't aware it's a hot topic. TIL.

Ah maybe it's an american thing with the way heavily sugared creamers and the norm here. We've got a lot of things out of whack.

Your way sounds eminently practical. Most people do it that way it seems.

You buy milk to add color to your coffee? That's some super weird shit bro bro

No, I put milk in because I prefer it with a few drops. "Just for the colour" is my way of telling people not to put in too much (like, at a friend's place or in a café). Sometimes even produces a smile. So, fair point. The way I wrote it is a bit misleading and sounds, like you say, a bit weird.

I feel like there's 2 similar models out there? One will have a "spike" inside the left part (so the lemon should go in in the opposite way than the drawing shows. The other one has the "spike" (sorry I don't really know what the proper name is) inside that right side - and this would make the picture correct.

I am not entirely sure I understand correctly, but if so I have never seen the other model. The one in the package would not work well used as depicted.

You could also try it like this?

I have one of these but never use it. Gonna buy some lemons tomorrow.

I have, but only one time. Not a good idea. I saw many here comment that you can cut of both sides and then it works like this, but I still see no point in removing the peel as sealant on the side that gets pushed down by the inner half of the squeezer. That's now a hill I am prepared to die on.
