I hope you're happy, Burntwits and everyone else who demanded it.

Anyways that cup was made following Burntwits French press guide; measured 33 g of ground, about 528 g of water. Though, I did make a slight modification to the original instructions, which was to boil the water first. The guide didn't say to do that, just add the water in, figured it might be better boiled though.

Then I added hella milk and sugar. Oh, yeah, switched to milk and sugar instead of creamer, mostly because the good creamer with ingredient list size like 5 are hells expensive. It... came out really good actually. I feel like better than my evil machine, though I don't know if that's because of the ratios of sugar and milk or not. I feel like I poured about the same amount of milk and sugar though. Hm.

Either way this saves way more counter space in exchange for slightly longer and more care needed, but if the coffee is consistently better, and less space needed... hm. I think yall might've been on to something. Also I can't tell if the press machine is made of glass or a really clear really thick plastic.

Why would you go through all of that and then mess it up by adding sugar?

    How dare people enjoy something VERY commonly enjoyed by billions that you feel like you need to pass judgement on to feel superior?

    Dude, it's just my opinion, take a chill pill. I just think it's weird that you would get decent beans, grind them, brew it with a french press and then hide all of the flavour by adding sugar to it.

    The only reason you and "billions" think adding sugar is necessary is because you're used to it. Seriously, drink coffee without sigsr for a week and then try it with sugar again. You'll see what I mean.

    Something being common does not imply that it's good. That's a logical fallacy.

    I drink it how I want, like you should drink it how you want and they should drink it how they want. Which is the point. Take a chill pills yourself on telling others they're wrong. That's my only objection to you. I drink it always creamy, but sweet or not depending on what else I'm having. Let people do what they want without calling them wrong.

    Well, adding sugar to coffee is quite literally worse for your health, and you end up covering the taste of the actuall coffee you say you like to drink. So yeah, if you lile to do that, more power to you. It is kinda weird tho. At that point you'd be better off just making instant or capsule coffee. The flavour would not be that different.

    I do "let" them do what they want. However, if you don't want people's opinion, why would you post it on the internet?

    Coffee and sugar are perfect together what do you mean.

    If you want to not actually drink something that tastes like coffee, sure.

    Can you even see where you're walking?

    A little sugar / splash of milk in coffee is still coffee. It tastes like coffee, maybe not how you like it but to say its not coffee flavor is wild.

    Btw, unless you're buying primo shit all the time, black coffee tastes like shit. You may have convinced yourself that you like shit, but objectively its not a good tasting beverage.

    My coffee is about 10-14usd per 250gr. Not sure if that's what you call "primo shit" but it certainly is fresh and incredibly tasty specialty coffee. And yes, it's the only thing I buy. If I thought it tasted like "shit", I would drink something else instead of adding sugar to it. The latter does not seem like a very logical decision tbh.

    Btw, a "little" sugar is not a unit of measurement. Your "little" could be "a lot" for someone else.

    I had it in the fincas where they grow it in Panama, in the way the Panamanian farmers drink it. First, you take a big pot and fill it with water from the local stream. Then you throw in the beans, whole, and with the occasional cascara. You heat that pot up over an open campfire for a good long time until it’s steaming. Then, you dowse that out with as much sugar as you have on hand, until it’s nearly cloying.

    And then you drink it with a smile on your face, damnit, because you need the calories, because you need the pick me up, and because some poor bloke who has poured his blood and sweat into those beans just offered it to you.
