Better idea: take that ice cream, put it in a mug and pour a shot of espresso over it. Bam, you've got an affogato (an Italian dessert drink).

Once you find the right coffee, the right grind, and the right strength, black coffee is just [chef's kiss] awesome. If you don't like it black, you need to buy different coffee beans or you need to make your coffee different.

I buy an organic fair trade breakfast blend from a nearby grocery chain in whole bean form. I grind 25g coffee beans to 750 mL water. It's on the weaker side, yes, but it gives me two mugs of coffee that taste great (to me) and delivers the correct amount of caffeine that makes me feel alert, but not jittery. I also use a thermal carafe so the coffee left behind doesn't get burned. But I've also used a cheap coffee maker that I babysit until it's done brewing, at which point I turn it off. The second cup is just not terribly hot by the time I get to it, but if I wait too long, it's room temp (ew).

I like my coffee, but I've had thoughts of visiting local coffee shops to see what they have, too. I want to branch out a little.

I like my milk caffeinated.

[–] spicytuna62@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Don't get me wrong. I do too. My parents' coffee tastes about as pleasant as a tire fire smells so I empty them of creamer if I drink their coffee.

But I have to cut back on sugar lest I get the family diabeetus. And drinking black coffee is one of the little things that helps.

I'll go a step further and say that if your coffee tastes bad in room temperature, it's bad coffee. It should be better warm, yes. But it should still be nice and drinkable in room temperature.

Also, let people enjoy their things. I also like to add a little milk or sugar every once in a while. It can taste good. People like different things, you know.

This is so funny, i want to use it as copy pasta [chefs kiss] (lol)

Edited to clarify: i love long overly involved responses to memes. Its so perfect. 10/10 i bet you make a great cuppa

Man, ADHD is a bitch sometimes. I couldn't sit through a 15 minute training video for work today because - gag me with a spoon - it was so goddamned boring. But I'll be dead the moment I pass up the opportunity to hyper focus for 45 minutes on the toilet crafting the perfect comment to a shit post.

No hard feelings because 1) I love copypastas and 2) I can laugh at myself.

[–] hazeebabee@slrpnk.net 3 points 2 years ago

I can empathize with that so much. Theres no feeling quite like hyper fixation lol

&& glad theres no hard feelings. I think having something you wrote become a copy pasta would be one of those special internet blessings. Like comming up with a new meme format or tiktok sound

[–] modifier@lemmy.ca 30 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Just put the ice cream in. Coffee is often hot.

[–] AnonWyo@startrek.website 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I like my coffee like I like my women...

Dark...

Strong...

With a spoon in them.

[–] Perfide@reddthat.com 17 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Just have the ice cream in the mug and let the coffee melt it. Gives it a nice froth.

[–] Deuces@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

If you call it an affogato you can even pretend you have your life together!

Affogato what it's called, but I believe the Italians know of a way to salvage this.

[–] Minarble@aussie.zone 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It’s way pasta time to be making puns.

[–] AnonWyo@startrek.website 4 points 2 years ago

A penne for your thoughts on the matter?

[–] ichmagrum@feddit.de 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Or use milk like a normal person?

[–] marx2k@beehaw.org 7 points 2 years ago

Why bother drinking coffee of you don't like coffee?

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 2 years ago

Black, black, black, black No. 1

Can't you just add milk? I think i used to know someone that did that

[–] Jazbo@programming.dev 3 points 2 years ago

I thought that's what coffee creamer was. Do Americans drink cream with their coffees or is it just a higher fat content milk?
