This is a coffee community, not an espresso community. Here's my evil drip brew machine and morning abomination (lemmy.world)

I like espressos (especially mochas) but they take a bit of work to prepare a single cup. With drip brew, I can do very little and get unhealthy amounts of caffeination into my corpse. Also, I pour ungodly amounts of creamer into my coffee. That Mason jar is quite literally half coffee half creamer.

I used to date a guy who had that EXACT machine. I appreciate it's a popular model but it brought back memories.

Anyway, he made the shittiest coffee, real dirty-tasting brown sludge and I couldn't figure out why. When he wasn't about one day I tested the machine with some cheap supermarket grounds and I couldn't believe it: it was fine. Perfectly cromulent, surprising clean tasting, and hassle-free.

Anyway, after a while I figured it out. Turns out he was putting Nescafé instant coffee into the filter.

That's disturbing. Did he actually like his coffee?
