I ordered some "Alpine Start" instant coffee from Amazon the other day. Not as good as actual brewed coffee but much less terrible than other instant coffee I've tried in the past. Would recommend if you need a coffee-like beverage in a place where you can't make actual coffee.



This is my favorite instant coffee solution. this seems expensive but I can't remember what I used to get it for in Asia

@greg what do you typically try?
The Vietnamese seem to be in possession of elite coffee knowledge.
During the summer, my mom will some times make this Vietnamese coffee -inspired beverage. Cold brew coffee over ice cubes with sweetened condensed milk. It is absolutely delicious.

The Asian grocery stores here in ICT have the best coffees.

In my opinion, the secret to really enjoying coffee is to use half and half.

Half sleep and half away rather than full asleep?

i really can’t believe that there are people in this world who still drink coffee, it’s the biggest grift in the history of mankind.

If I had to give up coffee or beer, i'm not sure which one I would pick. It honestly might be beer and I love beer.

My intro to coffee took all the way til I was already 4+ years out of school, and a guy on a worksite I was at used the office I was in Keurig for his half coffee/half hot chocolate. Well of course that meant he had more than he really wanted, and since I sat next to it he kept asking me if I wanted the extra, finally I caved in, and it was then I realized that cream really muted the bitter taste of coffee, and the kick I got from the caffeine was enough and I was in. 7 years later I don't do a ton but I need at least 2-3 cups throughout the morning to get me going.

Also, FTR, I have always loved the smell of coffee, even as a kid it smelled awesome, it just tasted like crap to me. I takes time/the right prep/the right way to take it

I work in sports. Work maybe 55ish hours during concert weeks and game weeks. I have always been able to wake up without caffeine which I am thankful for, when I have a caffeinated drink it's unsweet tea or a can of pop or gatorade when I get groggy mid workday/night. Coffee I think could truly be a game changer I have tried the cream trick or milk. Last year during the playoffs I would make a caffeinated milk which would be a shot of coffee in the bottom of the cup then milk on top of it. That is the only way I can't taste it.
