Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

coffee snobbery

Hand grinder, pour over, syphon, and a subscription to a local roastery... it's changed my life. I'll never understand how anyone can be happy with Starbucks, nespresso, or any of the swill that most commercial coffee is.

I’m on the tea snobbery… totally understand you. If I travel, I “have to” bring my own tea, or just go without.

The neat thing is that it doesn’t cost much. A great tea can go for 4-5Euros the bag of 100gr, that will last me almost a month. Sure, fancy tea can double that, but that’s still around some 10Euros a month well spent

people endlessly harass me about it because I'm 'too good' for Lipton or whatever. Because it tastes like shit. God forbid I dont' want to intentionally make myself miserable...
