As if cappuccinos weren't Italian enough

Is there a world where you could make garlic and coffee work? Almost makes me want to try

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Maybe black coffee with just a hint, a tiny tiny inkling of a taste of garlic? Try it and report back

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I think you'd need something that tastes good with coffee and garlic to "bridge" them. What that would be, I have no idea lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

My fat brain just thought of bacon as the thing that goes with coffee and garlic. What a disgusting flavor trio!

Thank goodness they got rid of the DRM pods so this could be possible.

Haha. Though to be fair, I doubt you could pull anything to make what comes out of a Keurig worse. Absolutely don't get why these have proliferated so much, they're like the worst of all worlds, especially with the amount of waste they produce.

What’s the quickest way to make coffee? As long as it doesn’t taste like sewage I don’t care how good it is tbh.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Best single cup and easy? A Clever Dripper. It's a cone shaped cup that you put a filter and grounds in. Add hot water, let it sit for 2-3 minutes. When you set it on top of your cup a stopper moves and the coffee drains from the filter into your cup. Cleanup is dumping the filter and a rinse. Half asleep me makes it every morning.

Yeah but then a Senseo does the same with a fraction of the waste. Or a Nescafé with still a fair bit of waste but much less already.

And those are just direct competitors that ultimately do the exact same thing.

Another really fast option for far superior coffee is a small French press for single portions.

And of course there's actual fully automated espresso/coffee makers but those are really pricey by comparison so eh.

But my favorite solution? A timed switch on a drip coffee maker. Got me by for years, cheaper in operation, more variety, less waste.

If you're okay with a pod machine, just buy instant. I always have some handy on those "shit I don't have time to wait for a pot to brew" days.

I have a philips fully auto espresso maker, and it's cheaper than a keurig after something like 600 cups. Which for my household is less than a year's worth of coffee. Granted, that breakeven calculation depends on comparing to using k cups not reusable filters.

Damn, thank you for this, I really appreciate it! Gonna go through these and check them out.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

I have one that I inherited. I literally only use it if I want a single cup of coffee (usually later in the day) and use a reusable KCUP and Folgers. Also occasionally make hot chocolate with it.

The price of the pods is pretty atrocious for sure, although there are some of them I think are decent. But as someone who recycles everything possible, it’s really annoying the facilities around me don’t take these things. Biggest reason I won’t commit to it. Bigger than the price.

there's a good part of waking up now?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Well there's the morning boner, that's quite cheerful

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

That depends heavily on if it is yours and if you know the person.
