I hate coffee. The smell, the taste, everything about it; I hate everything about it, always have.
On the plus side, that means I never go to Starbucks.

Coffee is a tool, nothing but a blunt instrument. People who wax lyrical about it should drink more beer.
-
But you love frog spawn…...
Are you impugning the nectar of the gods- boba tea? Those are fighting words, fair sir!
And you guessed right, Seul. I've had a few good Imperial Stouts, but I'm not really a fan. Coffee flavor in anything ruins it for me, even beer.

Philip K Dick said that his most intense trip was while consuming a metric fuck tonne (MFT) of vitamin C; don't write off coffee.

I've attained more transcendence in flavor country than I have in terms of stimulation when it comes to coffee. It's really not a very effective stimulant IMO, too many unpleasant side effects at the levels required to get the job done.

Unlike other stimulants however it lives in my kitchen cupboard with hot water close at hand.

Mornings are great.
Work is also great.
Whatever you're drinking, make mine a double.

@trail:
That's actually a gif from a brilliant Belgian show named In de Gloria… Funny!..
I hesitate to generalize on such short acquaintance but did you use "brilliant" and "Belgian in the same sentence?

The superfluous modern enjoyment of coffee in much of the west is a very "middle class white" (mcw) thing to obsess and gush over, in the same bracket as Coldplay, designer furniture and watching films by Wes Anderson.
Personally I'm too much of a low life scum bag with dirt under my fingernails to draw much pleasure from any of that. Beer, footie a game of darts and a fight on Friday night after kicking out time keeps me sweet

Relunctantly: yes.

Given the popularity of ''third wave'' coffee shops in East Asia, it's not really just a white thing. The Japanese (this will surprise you) take it to new levels of obsession and Hong Kong, Taiwan and Korea are not too far behind.
Likewise, it may be broadly middle-class as an interest but it's actually the cheapest thing cup for cup to be tasting as a way of refining your palate in comparison to craft beer, fine wines or single malts etc.
I speak as a fan of beer, football and darts too. Fighting in Mansfield I will leave to you Mega!
