Why is there no coffee?
Are there no Americans here or something?
>>7384952
Coffee is a shit-tier drink. Would rather drink soda.
>>7384952
Coffee master race, reporting in. Tea is for emasculates and men who've never been tested.

Congrats Ameritard, you just insulted all of western Europe with one statement.
>>7384981
Western Europe is shit, honestly. You either are: in high school with dreams of being an ex-pat or a European. In either case, you're a pleb.

I love coffee. Brew up a nice cup of joe every morning.
Dunkin Donuts packaged coffee with milk and a little bit of sugar = the beverage of gods

I believe I have invented the best cup of coffee. I eyeball my proportions of each ingredient but it goes basically
2 part maple syrup
3 parts milk
2 parts hot cocoa mix
pinch o' salt
2 pinches o' cinnamon
pour coffee in and stir.
I've had like a liter of this shit while reading every day for the past week. I should slow down.
Bros, do you keep reading when you reach to the glass and take a sip or do you stop reading briefly then resume after the sip and placing the glass back down?
>>7384806
Yunnan usually, sometimes cistus incanus or coarse robusta. Beer goes well with the likes of HST, too.
>>7384806
Anything hot and full of caffeine. Coffee, Yerba Mate. I drink tea usually in the evening (past 18:00).
But it's not really connected to reading as I'm (physiologically, psychologically? I don't know) addicted to caffeine. The withdrawals are similar to a hangover. But I've seen a video on YouTube saying that it's not gonna kill me and might be actually good for me so I have no incentive to break the addiction.
>>7385315
I prefer taking bigger gulps inbetween chapters. That's why I hate books with long, overdrawn passages.
>>7385315
I sip at the end of paragraphs.
>>7385324
Yerba is GOAT. What brand you drinking, anon? What's popular where you live? For example here it's Amanda, mainly because Polishfags founded the plantations (I'm a Polishfag myself).
>>7385301
The best coffee is black and bitter. What you described is a goddamned candy.
>>7385329
Cześć!
I'm from Prague. The brand I usually buy is called GreÅ¡Ãk. It's a Czech company specializing in teas and herbal shit. It's nothing fancy, you can find it everywhere. Especially in these hippie "bio" (organic) grocery stores.
>>7385340
From what I've seen it's pretty cheap, I might want to stock-up when I come to Prague, lol. Btw - any bookstores you would recommend in Prague? Preferably something with an English section. A ticket to Prague would cost me less than the shipping rate from Amazon.
>>7385351
Neo Luxor and Academia are good (their main stores are almost opposite each other on the Wenceslas square). Neo Luxor definitely has better English (and original language) selection, but it's not stellar.
There are also a lot of good used book stores. There is this website called muj-antikvariat.cz that attempts to search through all of their offering but I have no idea about the availability of stuff in English, but I expect it to be poor. It's usually dirt cheap though (I got a nice hardcover of Epictetos' Discourses and Enchiridion for about 100 CZK).
Czechs, sadly, don't read much in English.
>>7385330
>The best coffee is black and bitter
No way, dude. Iced sugary syrup coffee is best.
>>7385380
Thanks! That muj-antikvariat.cz site is great, I think I visited it once or twice looking for some old occult stuff, some time in the past.
Since I mentioned Prague, any fun /lit/ places to hang around there, and preferably drink good tea/coffee?

Every 2 weeks I go to "Coffee Review" Magazine, and read their most recent reviews, and purchase the highest one. I french press it for 7 minutes with filtered water in a course consistency and drink it with light sugar and cream. Pic related is pretty god tier.

These are the only correct answers.
Neat only.
>>7386318

Hot wine needs spices and often a bit of sugar (and or brandy) and citrus to be delicious.
Also, how does one not have water?

I didn't want to use the tap in this shitty dorm bathroom, though I suppose if I let it boil for a while there's not going to be anything to worry about.

There's not going to be anything to worry about in the first place. Just let it run for a bit.

In Alberta and Saskatchewan at least. It's the beer preferred by farmers.

In the morning, coffee, in the afternoon, tea with honey, if black tea maybe a little milk, end of afternoon, more coffee

I've never understood the sugar thing but I usually use milk

Coffee brewed in an urn, sweetened with a milk/banana blend.
Homemade coffee with white sugar and clover honey. I like my coffee just a touch too dark for my palette.

I puree the bananas in milk, then mix it into the coffee. Nothing complicated.
>>7390019
What ratio of milk to bananas do you use?
>>7390030
Whatever you think tastes the best. I make mine in large amounts, then refrigerate it.
I'd say a good ratio is 1 cup milk/1 banana
Am I a pleb for liking my coffee with all the gay american trappings like whipped cream, powdered chocolate, flavoured syrups; you name it, I'm into it, but taking my tea exclusively black and unsweetened?
>>7390048
You aren't an anything for liking coffee a certain way. Although that is an unhealthy amount of sugar to be drinking every morning, if you get all of those toppings its more a dessert than it is a drink.
>>7390064
oh god no I don't have it like that every morning, I have a cappuccino or an espresso if I'm pressed for time, I basically do have the topping-y version as a desert drink
>>7390048
As long as you acknowledge that it is a dessert and you don't slam 3 larges a day, it doesn't really matter
>>7390070
That is perfect.
Nothing wrong with indulging yourself every now and then, it's certainly better than a lot of other shit people drink.

'muh vitamin c'. There's nothing really useful in fruit juice, besides maybe antioxidants (which don't have well established and extraordinary health benefits in the first place).
>an addictive drug
Like sugar?
Caffeine has a trivial risk of addiction, given that it doesn't induce euphoria, nor does consumption entail any real risk of substantive withdrawal or physical harm.

Hello reddit!
>>7391699
For the last few months, yes. I'm running out too, so I've been cutting it down to once a week instead of every 2-3 days. I'll surely be getting myself another batch of it though. At microdosing levels, the price is wholly insignificant.
Life is better. Not substantially better, and I don't find myself craving it or missing it on days without. Everything is more amusing. Motivation takes a boost - more reading, which also feels more rewarding than on off days. Sharp decline in shitposting, gaming and mindless internet browsing. In general, I find myself questioning and altering a lot of my conditioned behaviour in everyday life (e.g. shitposting).
Lateral thinking is definitely increased - this is where microdosage is key. If you go to high, you're entering inane acid-philosophy territory. Microdoses seem more like a tweak to normal thinking than a transformation of it.
>>7384896
>ho ho by being sarcastic I am ultimately better than you silly tea drinkers
>>7391400
>Expanding your palate beyond muh sugar means you hate it

Honestly man if good coffee just tastes bitter to you you're wasting your money because that means your sense of smell or taste is shit and you can't pick up anything any more complex. May as well use something cheaper.

Why? I always keep a crystal karaf in my fridge, with about half of a squeezed lime/lemon.
