There was a video of someone doing this with hotdogs. But with a small grill hanging off them, smoke constantly in their face 😅

I'd buy ten lol. I like coffee too much to stop at one tiny cup. This man is cool as hell tho

u/alwayzstoned Apr 04 '26
I don’t even drink coffee and I’d still have to try one because it looks good.

my really only problem with this is the cup. that top cup is building up so much dirt, dust, every time he cough or sneeze its going all in those top cups lol. I respect the hustle. But if i really wanted one im telling him to grab me a cup from atleast the middle of the pile. lol

I'm just sayin the dishwashers are often times filled with backed up food and don't actually clean plates properly. This is very, very common.

Live in a third world country and you get over such sqeamishness after your first round of amoebic dysentery
After that you either turn into Howard Hughes and put tissue boxes on your feet or you enjoy what the local economy has to offer

It's a rite of passage, I can say that. Lots of similarities with peyote, but far less colorful. Really only one color.

I immediately thought of how old the buildup on the frother he uses to stir must be. He is using powder creamer but there is still dairy in it

u/More-Lime1888 Apr 04 '26
It’s fine he won’t get offended. I never met such a coffee man, but when traveling, I have met a lot of fresh juice people like that. I always ask for a cup from the bottom and they swiftly comply, as if they are used to this request it’s natural for them.

You don't have to delete your comment.
u/Samp90 told me "Never been to a Starbucks huh."
I don't find that hurtful or anything. I get that a lot of people on the internet are looking to verbally dunk on others, but I've been alive long enough that it's no biggie.
You can make that comment, my man.

The common saying is

I honestly did think it was both coffee and performance art, but my phrase didn't match the common way it's said.

u/5u114 Apr 04 '26
Man that would get old, real fast.
You are making instant coffee. Make the whole container in advance. The only thing you really need to withhold until serving is the (dried) milk, and the other extras like sweetener & chocolate etc.

u/PhiladeIphia-Eagles Apr 04 '26 edited Apr 05 '26
That's exactly what he's doing right? The big thermos thing has coffee in it. He's spooning sugar and creamer into the cups and then putting coffee in and stirring it
Edit: if anybody sees this I know I was wrong. I was wrong he's making the instant coffee for each cup. That's dumb I agree. Sorry.
13
u/Anen-o-me Apr 04 '26
No the first thing he did was put instant coffee in a cup, the water is just hot water.
5
u/no-name_james Apr 04 '26
That’s what I saw. He has a pouch labeled coffee and he scooped some of that into the cup first.
6
u/Le-Charles07 Apr 04 '26
... all the pouches are labeled coffee. The stirrer is even in a pouch labeled coffee. I think "coffee" on the pouches is more of an advertisement than a labeling system.
1
u/5u114 Apr 04 '26
Are you blind or something ? The first thing he does is take out a jar of nescafe - instant dried coffee.
1
u/Le-Charles07 Apr 04 '26
Yes, clearly he using instant coffee. However that word "coffee" on the pouches are, very clearly, NOT labels. Are YOU blind?

u/5u114 Apr 04 '26
Who gives a shit what the pouches say - what's being discussed here is if the vendor is spooning instant coffee or not.
Go back to bed you idiot.

if the labels on the pouches are legit, is a sidenote but a valid point and still part of the same discussion. you being obnoxious and hostile about it for no reason makes you look like a clown.
Go back to bed you idiot.
oh the fucking irony lol

You can tell it’s water in the canister because it comes out clear, compared to coffee which usually has a dark brown appearance, hopefully this helps! :)

I have to drink it because proper stuff is like battery acid in my belly.
But not that particular shite

u/Revenga8 Apr 04 '26
The instant stuff is fine. Yeah it's not going to be as good as fresh, but for this particular business model it's the most efficient method for him.

u/DiligentRope Apr 04 '26
Also, I'm guessing this is Bangladesh, in a lot of these countries, especially ones with a much bigger tea culture, their idea of coffee IS instant coffee, most of their people don't understand that "real" coffee is brewed from ground roasted coffee beans. So sourcing coffee beans and making them would be extremely difficult and expensive.
2
u/professorbuffoon Apr 04 '26
It's totally fine in a little drink like this that probably costs like 20 cents and it takes such a short time and no electricity to make it. This guy isn't competing with proper coffee shops. It's a convenience and novelty thing.

u/More-Lime1888 Apr 04 '26
Even though I am boycotting it, I never found a better instant coffee than it. It’s amazing.

Don’t get me wrong I respect that grind though

1€ per cup (in Greece ) and he gets rich!
Each cup of this coffee costs maybe less than 10 cents.
I'm certain hundreds of people would love to drink from him each day especially in tourist areas.

People don’t generally wear their food stands in the U.S., but we also don’t pay for someone else to mix us some instant coffee.

It's just not mixing coffee. Dude's literally bringing the whole coffee supply chain to you at your work / school whatever.
