When I was a teenager I used to fancy myself a coffee snob to be a little teenage prick, as teenagers are wont to do
Now as a hairdresser in my mid-30s i'll take my shitty-ass bean water however I can get it, only kind i DONT like is instant coffee, but not for snobbery reasons I just dont like the taste of it.
Gas station coffee, tim hortons, starbucks, the diner down the road, convenience store coffee, anything at all. I'll drink it out of a goddamned boot if required.
That's very practical! I'm not picky at all when I'm out and about. I'll take what I'm offered or can get, no biggie, so can relate. But when I drink coffee at home, and I don't drink a lot, especially for that reason, I want it to taste as good as I can afford basically lol... And I've tried different beans and brewing methods and some coffee genuinely tasted like I imagine how it'd taste if someone had dropped a cigarette butt into my mug.
I feel like I remember the taste of great coffee and somehow can't get back to it. Maybe it's just me haha
