Fun Stuff > CHATTER
guys i hate single serve coffee machines so much
Something Witty:
Just do what i do when in a shitty mood:
Type out whatever fucking rant you want to go on, don't pull a single punch. Throw some personal shit in there about whatever set off said rant.
I mean really go after it, rip someone a new asshole.
Then close the window.
Jimmy the Squid:
That's usually what I do! Or at least I type it out then hit delete because I can't be bothered to close the window and open it again to carry on foruming.
KharBevNor:
Also Sainsburies is one of the better cheap whiskies going. Nicer than quite a few of the more mid-ranged offerings.
Thing is that I don't really mind drinking cheap whiskey within reason. I could never afford to drink Laphroaig or Bruichladdich or Jura or whatever any time I fancy a scotch. Drinking lower quality scotch does not actually physically harm me (apart from the same way all scotch harms you), and it is still more enjoyable than just sitting in a chair not drinking scotch at all. It's not the ultimate possible scotch drinking experience, but it's fine. What is constantly being implied and occasionally outright stated with regards to coffee is that this is not a good attitude: that you should either drink the best possibe coffee brewed in the most correct way or you should not drink coffee. This is a patently ridiculous position. I would never in fact argue that a good filter coffee doesn't taste better than an instant, in fact I can tell the difference between filter, instant, french press and americano pretty much instanty. However, to me, instant coffee, at least the brands I buy, tastes perfectly fine. In fact most coffee that doesn't come out of a vending machine on a train station is perfectly amenable to my palette. I am generally just quite laid back on most gustatory matters: I appreciate good things, but I don't constanty demand them, nor do I expect them. It's nice to have a fancy coffee or meal or scotch or whatever as a treat, but I can live perfectly fine with the standard fare.
The only place where this attitude slightly breaks down is beer and cigarettes, though this is in large part because I like very particular sorts of beer and cigarettes (ruby and dark ales and strong rolling tobacco in liquorice papers respectively) and these types are generally all of a certain quality. I do find drinking most common lagers or smoking cheap cigarettes somewhat unpleasant though.

I've done that. You get your rant off your chest, but instead of posting, you delete it. It's like you told the person off, but you really didn't, so you can move on! Yay!
Also some people don't like coffee because they really just don't like coffee. I love the smell of it, but I can't stand the taste of it. Have I tried it? Yes, several times over the years and it's always been the "good stuff" but it still tastes horrible. Sorry! I prefer different bitters. And if someone prefers instant coffee over the other stuff, then hey, that's cool too. You drink your stuff and I'll drink mine and we'll all be happy people!

Fair enough (my wife prefers instant) - but the difference in the coffee case is hugely more than the difference in the whisky case.

Chocolate-coated coffee beans for after-dinner nibbles are a thing. I have been known to eat a whole pack in a sitting.
