Get on my level plebs, I've achieved a state of realness you will never understand.

i spent last night sleeping on a park bench with only a $2 cup of mcdonalds black to keep me warm. i'm making this post from a 2009 flip phone using a public wifi hotspot with a fifteen minute time limit before 24 hours of lockout. you're still living a fantasy, son.

>>6186978

I bet you think strippers like you too.

>Not living in a shell crater in an active warzone and drinking only scavenged instant from dead soldier's ration packs out of an old leather boot.

Damn why is this thread here, but my contemporary art thread was removed for being off topic.

Interestingly, in 16th century England coffee was heavily associated with trade and cultural encounters with the Arab world and there was a worry that if you drank too much you would 'turn Turk.'

I for one await ice coffee season.

>>6187045
>ice coffee

>>6187052
How dare you misuse Sherlock Holmes / Jeremy Brett in this way.

>>6187045
It's already happened lad.

They aren't moving here, coffee drinkers just turn into Arabs.

It's straight black when I need to be awake and Caramel latte with extra shot when I want my awakened state to taste good.

Anything in between is for people who are in denial about their all-encompassing and perpetually flaming faggotry and depravity.

Latté, hot or over ice in the summer. Coffee is too bitter for me.

To warm you in the early morning air.
>>6187052
Because some places get quite hot.

>>6186972
Vietnamese coffee is the greatest kind I've ever had. But then again I'm Vietnamese so maybe I'm biased.

>>6186990
Use coffee to down your uppers, of course.

>>6187045
i drink iced coffee year round even when it's in the single digits out because i cant stand hot drinks in the morning

At home, dark roast drip coffee, black. Used to use a french press and several types of pots but I always come back to dripping.

In a cafe espresso is often the safest. Corretto is great but I gave up on alcohol. Sometimes in the summer I'll have a frappe.

>>6186976
add good drip and turkish to this and i agree

anyone use an aeropress? I love mine, it's like a cross between drip and French press


currently drinking some black French coffee with this really strong chocolate taste

>>6187233
it's okay but i prefer my french press, it just makes tastier coffee

>>6187233
Was thinking of getting one. You recommend?

>>6187036
>implying you can taste the difference

>Not drinking black sambuca & black espresso

Ultimate plebs.

>>6187233
Actually, a cleverdrip is a cross between drip and French press, since it has the exposure time of the French press and the paper filter of the drip.

The aeropress is too quick to be compared to French press as far as brewing goes.

>>6187280
>sambuca
>not grappa

NOT FUCKING LITERATURE

>>6187292
/lit/ talking about booze, coffee and tobacco is like /fit/ talking about proteine powder, it's very on topic.

>>6187298
Well, /fa/ talking about tobacco and drugs and coffee is on-topic. The /lit/ equivalent would be fountain pens and moleskines.

But on the other hand it does indeed fall under the wider "literary lifestyle" umbrella. I wouldn't delete it myself.

I think I found out where white machismo went. You're probably half female by now. The heat makes the phytoestrogens more active you fucking tranny.

>>6186972
Cafe corretto only choice.

Listen here, you fags. The only valid coffee is brewed coffee without milk or sugar.

>>6187321

If you get caramel vanilla frappiatos from Starbucks, you both

A. Don't actually like coffee
B. Are blinded by ideology

>>6187261

yeah, I really love mine. it's really handy and pretty cheap

if you do get one look up the inverted method, it's a lifesaver

takes about five minutes to make coffee in the morning

also they come with filters already so you don't need to buy separate filters and end up with 500 like I did

Turkish coffee is the bomb, but usually I just have french pressed coffee. And how is this about literature?

>>6186978
This guy gets it

Man, I was almost there when I lived in Paris.

On topic:
I really love black coffee when I'm at home, but I occasionally make espresso.

>>6187377
... all coffee is brewed coffee

Colombian. From time to time, I'll get a craving for an Ethiopian; I normally take that as an indication of scurvy.

>>6186972

I hope you enjoy all the anal sex, little Greek boy

>>6187582
I actually agree. I had some Albanian moonshine rakia that seemed like about 60 to 70% alcohol but it was absolutely GOAT and the best digestif I've had.

>>6187045
I'm going to start shitposting this idea on /pol/

>>6187125
viet coffee is top tier

>>6187403

They are not exclusive activities. My favorite mix is to take a sudafed, drink 4 cups of black coffee, and then go for an hour long bike ride. The quick absorption due to exercise plus the two stimulants pretty much gets you a very focused/creative high.

Completely legal and extraordinarily useful.

>>6187622
Based anon. We're all rooting for you.

>>6187642
Then you're both weak willed and have shit taste (these 'qualities' often go with each other)

>>6187279
>can't tell the difference between french press and drip coffee
confirmed for shit palate

I upgraded from black instant coffee to just several caffeine pills a day

>>6188023

>drinking coffee for the energy instead of the taste

God I hope I'm never this pleb

Our mods are the most useless faggots. Is there a board with worse moderation?
Do we even have a janitor?

>>6188023
Downgraded. No taste and less healthy stuff, same dehydration but without compensatory liquid.

You done goofed.

It's really hard for me here to get other drugs

>>6188034
>Is there a board with worse moderation?

the moderation on /tv/ and /mu/, both of which i use more than /lit/, has been terrible recently

>>6188044
No, I drink several glasses after swallowing them

>>6188034
/lit/'s janitor has better things to read than /lit/, why do you think we elected him?

>>6188075
Still downgraded baby, you're missing out on all the good stuff in coffee and singling out the bad.

>yfw everyone who posts on this board works at a coffee shop or is a neet

Anyone who doesn't drink just plain black coffee is a fucking pleb and should end his pathetic existence.

>>6188121
Maybe you should switch to decaf, Camus.

>>6187622
>shitposting on pol
what a tautology

Black, light to medium roast. Drip. Sometimes I'll have a bianco though (drip coffee with steamed milk).

I've mostly moved on to tea though. Greater variety, cheaper for quality, and easier to brew.

>>6186972
I never in my life drank coffee.

Starbucks' coffee is terrible. How do they have a near-monopoly on the industry? Is it because of all of their overly sweetened milkshake-type drinks? How can coffee be this huge cultural thing, yet no one understands what it should taste like--or how it should be prepared.

>>6188418
why?

>>6188507
it's the cheapest coffee place out there. most people hit it for their jitter quota, some like the disgusting unfrozen sugarpastries and sugarfraps and sugarshit

>>6188550
wait I'm not from the US, but isn't starbucks considered relatively expensive?

>>6188550
>cheapest coffee place ever

I just drink like ten cups of strong black instant coffee a day

>>6188550
Uh, no it's fucking not, Starbucks is expensive as shit. You realize you can get coffee for $1 a cup in a lot of places, right?

>>6186972
As a Cuban who makes Cuban espresso every morning I'd have to say Cuban espresso is number one for me.

Though i like making them at home, I think getting one (I live in Miami) at a cafe window makes it better just because of the experience; old Cuban guys are fun. Anyone who comes to Miami and stops at Cuban cafeteria or any Hispanic cafeteria should order a colada or a cortadito (Cuban espresso with a tiny bit of milk in it).

Macchiato > Flat White > Americano (black) > Espresso > Cappuccino > Filter (black) > Latte

No sugar or other silly additives.

>>6186978
I like this but with bourbon or brandy added

Am I still a cocksucking turbo faggot?

>>6189023
>flat white

Just order a latte without foam you Aussie faggot
Macchiato>Espresso>.Americano>Latte>Cappucino>drinks made up in Australia

>there are people who have never had Turkish Coffee
>Year of our Lord 2015

Seriously, if you can find a good cafe, this stuff is amazing.

Flat whites are the best cup of coffee closely followed by a black coffee so bitter your lips pucker, if you disagree you are wrong and I won't be your friend

>>6189075
it's more akin to a double macchiato with 2-3x the milk m8.
