What's with Japan and brakku cawfee anyway?

It's the way you're supposed to drink it.

It's a grown-up choice.

Tea black, coffee with cream, anything else is heresy.

At least with 1 sugar you can kind of taste the coffee, KIND OF. With cream you cant taste shit. You might as well just drink straight fucking cream. youll get more flavor that way.

Coffee black, Tea with sugar

Yeah, where is the love for gween tee?

I've been drinking coffee with cream for 4+ years now, it's the perfect balance of sweetness, bitterness and the texture is just the right amount of silky smooth from the cream

Coffee is an exciting novelty. Like anglos they don't drink it in any noteworthy amount.

cawfee makes me brappu

I don't like being behind Brazil in anything except gun violence and Iron Maiden fans.

US reporting in. I make sure to have at least 4 cups a day, but I might be addicted.

>needing caffeine
No better than the meth heads. Actually, probably worse because meth heads would suck your dick for money but all coffeefags do is complain about how they haven't had enough coffee in the last half hour to function

Me, enjoying my first cup o' the day.

I drink coffee black mixed with whiskey

Nothing like working all day hyper and buzzed

>probably worse because meth heads would suck your dick for money but all coffeefags do is complain about how they haven't had enough coffee in the last half hour to function
Wait, methheads begging to suck your dick is better than someone complaining not having enough coffee?

*sip*

the same way you take your men?

Finland here

I fucking love black coffee

>all these yanks talking about """""""cream"""""""

Just add milk, dumbasses. Proper fucking milk.

I add the tiniest bit of milk because I'm not good with hot things and I don't want to wait for it to cool down.

fug :DD

Yeah, I slather my black men with whiskey before I drink them

>there are peoplle that really think like this

Freeze black coffee cubes and add them to the hot coffee.

or just add a bit less of hot water then pour cold water to taste

No.

If you're supposed to drink it any way, it's as an espresso shot.

how do i get over coffee addiction? i think its actually bad for me, i cant function without 4 cups each morning

You never want to add water. You need to brew it hot to release the flavor. The only thing you add water to is espresso to lengthen the shot.

Japs are lactose intolerant to a high degree and milk gives them the runs.

I like lattes with syrup (ginger, hazelnut etc)

He's destroying the taste anyway by adding colder milk so why not just fuck the whole thing up

I like with vanilla and cinnamon

I like it to smell like a dentist office

He means add cold water after brewing. Brew the coffee slightly stronger (less cold water or more beans) then add a little cool water to cool it down.

Because if his goal is temperature adjustment quickly, there is only one way; The coffee-cube way.

>add a little cool water to cool it down
I could see adding colder coffee, but adding water post-brew is revolting.

I drink tea, when I'm not modelling for Versace or doing surgery on diseased children in Africa

any temp below boiling point is revolting

If you brew the coffee a little stronger and add water afterward logically speaking the product is going to be about the same strength.
Have you never had iced coffee or anything like that? If you brew the coffee stronger it'll be the right strength when the ice starts melting.

Everyone is "lactose intolerant" technically, it's just those who can tolerate it drink it since childhood. However there is a such disorder which a person cannot digest lactose

While milk isn't a staple food in Nihon, it increasingly becoming one

How do I get into coffee?

I was a barista for three years. Most of the iced coffee is powder in a bag, the one that isn't is made with tons of espresso shots. That's the only acceptable way to lengthen coffee. If you just brew a strong-ass pot of coffee and add water later, you don't get the cumulative effect of a weaker cup, you get a watery strong cup. You have to appreciate the brewing process and how it changes the ph of the water.

>iced coffee
Anyone who drink this must be lynched

Try stuff like first because it's sweet and easy to get into. Then try it with less milk.

they're really into drip coffee in Japan, and thats whole different ballpark when approaching black coffee. If you're drinking your shit black when its french pressed or batch brewed, of course its gonna taste pretty mediocre and burnt out. Its better to stick with pour-over shit if you want taste your beans and get that nice ass body

Thanks user

Sorry, that's really not how it works. That's just unscientific superstition.
Have you ever made coffee with drip brewing or a similar method? The first drops are very strong and the last drops are weak. But it all mixes together and produces a cup of even strength. Adding water at the end has the same effect. Obviously if the water is too cold it ruins the flavor (chemical reactions take place when coffee cools down in certain ways) but you've got to agree that adding water of the same temperature as the coffee has the same effect as using less beans.

covfefe

>unscientific superstition
Brewing a pot never runs pure water, even the last drop has taken on change. If you don't think that liquid doesn't have a different ph than tap water, then I don't really care how big of chemistry fag you are, you're not applying common sense.

Of course it has a different ph than water. But when you mix water (of appropriate temperature) with brewed coffee the end result will have the same pH as if you simply brewed the coffee less strong.

If I'm making a Mr. Coffee 12-cup, and I go with 8 scoops over 4, it won't necessarily double the change in ph. Adding water will always cut it down the same amount for whatever amount you add. I agree with the fucking with the heating/cooling process and the effect on flavor, but even adding warm water to preserve that will always show up in the body. It just don't taste right.

The exception being espresso because it's the only way to truly concentrate coffee.

Canned coffee from nip's vending machines taste like diluted coffee, not even good as an Americano. Disturbing

>it won't necessarily double the change in ph
pH is logarithmic so of course not.
Obviously there's some non linearity with drip coffee (there's non linearity with all methods but especially with drip coffee, something like a french press should be more linear), but adding water will still be the same as making a weaker brew. It may be that adding an equal amount of water to the coffee is not the exact same coffee as brewing with half the beans, but it's exactly the same as brewing with some lesser amount of beans.
If you use a french press, espresso, or cold brew the process will be pretty close to linear with reasonable amounts of beans (obviously if you add a crazy amount of beans the water won't be able to dissolve all the desired compounds), and diluting with twice water will create an indistinguishable product from brewing with half the beans

Did you factor in the additives to the water that burn/taper off during brewing? Because you're dumping them right back in the concentration found in the water you started with.

What additives to the water? What do you mean "taper off?" I get that tap water experiences some changes when heating though,
If you're concerned just add the right kind of water.
You could use distilled water (I have a reverse osmosis tap that provides very nearly the same thing).
You could boil your water and let it cool down, this would get rid of the chlorinated taste (if you have a zojirushi or similar water boiler this is what it does; it always boils the water before bringing it to the set temperature).
And frankly speaking there's very little taste difference between good filtered water before and after being boiled or otherwise heated.

It's "burakku, not "brakku"

Arigato, sensei!

Proper coffee is best without any milk. It distorts the flavour of the beans.

>What additives to the water?
I'm from Flint, Michigan

If you're talking purely french press, where you get the water to temp and dump, there would be no difference in just adding water of the same temperature later, But if we're strictly talking drip, that's water that's been heated to 180, sat on a bed of grounds for a length of time, and dripped into a carafe on a hotplate. You couldn't really recreate those conditions in your to-be-added water, unless you just used old coffee that went through the same process.

Canned vending machine coffee is marketed towards younger demographics so I imagine they all suck

Even with drip adding water would just produce a more dilute solution with the same solutes. It would definitely still be the same as simply brewing weaker coffee, it's just that exactly how much coffee grounds to use to get the same product may not be obvious.
But in reality for a practical use like adding a little cool water to cool off the coffee it's just gonna be slightly more dilute and you don't need to worry about exactly how much coffee grounds you'd need to use to get the same product.

Is this the reason Finnish instant coffee doesn't taste like utter shit?

>sugar
why? atleast cream has a scientific reason to be used since fats binds and enhances the coffee taste

I'll concede that I'm a snob, but I think even learned people like yourself fail to take into account certain conditions. It reminds me of the /sci/ thread about how an electric guitar should produce identical sound if identical guts are used regardless of body shape/material. Their reasoning seemed sound, and it's not my realm, but surely they've gone wrong somewhere.

It does taste like shit though

All instant coffee tastes like shit though. Here in England any instant stuff i find doesn't even taste like coffee. It's just so fucking oily.

I never understood the reason for instant coffee. You can't possibly be in such a hurry that you can't wait few minutes for regular coffee.

I would have never guessed Americans were that far down on coffee consumption.

I used it to saturate an already done batch of coffee.
Then I just started buying caffeine pills cause doing it that way made the taste shit like my teeth.

Seems legit, I havent drank anything else than MF and coffee for years.

I think you mean "everywhere except for the west and eastcoast where soyboys like myself live". Literally the entire world drinks black coffee. I was shocked that on my trip abroad I had to order "Americano" just to get normal coffee without any bullshit in it.

>bulshit
Like what? Milk?

As expected, the numbers I found were different. I don't even know where you got that graph, I sure as fuck can't find it.

coffee is shit. I'll never understand how so many people can start their day drinking this bitter liquid crap.

Milk, sugar, chocolate, caramel, ice, etc etc etc the list goes on. It's despicable what you fucking anglos do to the best beverage in the world.

And if you want truly undistorted beans, you gotta have cold brew.

>anglos
>implying

for as far as I remember, I've only ever drank instant cawfee
what am I missing on

Don't go to cafes expecting good coffee in England, that's just wishing for shit. You'll find very few cafes thst do decent coffee here. The only way to make sure there isn't any bullshit is to make it yourself unfortunately.

>everywhere except for the west and eastcoast where soyboys like myself live
You have to thank Starbucks to introduce black coffee to greater China. Otherwise all Chinese drinks with cream and sugar.

Keep the you's coming I am loving this shit.

How the fuck can you stomach that shit. Instant 'coffee' makes me feel sick

Why do people write it as Cawfee when it's pronounced Cohee in anime?

>tfw drinking Turkish coffee for the first time
>literally GOAT experience
>nearest place to get it is 20 miles away

I actually prefer the shit taste of instant crap, not because it's easier to make or anything.

>You can't possibly be in such a hurry

>literally only have time to boil water

Yes I am

How much milk and sugar can you put into a coffee before it is not even recognizable as one?

Any amount

Milk and Sugar make shitty coffee palatable.
That's it. Nothing more nothing less.

>Iron Maiden fans
That's an amazing shout, user

If you need sugar and cream you are drinking really poor quality roasts.

>be bong
>abandoned tea and just chug down coffee
Why did I do this?

Best post.

>not drinking tea or coffee alternatively depending on the time of day and the mood your in
Come on man, step it up

Bonus post:
Similarly sugar syrup (and carbonation) improve shitty wine.

Coffee is for faggots, just like any other drug. I've never had any problem waking up or staying awake in the mornings because I never developed an addiction to caffeine. It also tastes like absolute garbage and it's an acquired taste, just like smoking cigarettes. Easily influenceable kids get into both to feel mature and get hooked for life on a shit tier habit.

Just give me black. Not adding any diabeetus or roided up cow tit juice to my coffee

Who the fuck drinks coffee for the caffeine anyway? I just drink it for the taste. Same way for literally any beverage. Not all people who drink something with a drug in it are crack heads.

>Who the fuck drinks coffee for the caffeine anyway

If this isn't a rhetorical question its a pretty stupid one

Nice projection. I remember the first time I tasted coffee and I've always liked the taste. Just because you didn't like it doesn't mean everyone is addicted to it like drug users. You probably tasted some crap quality beans anyway.
