@sampo Wasn't that precisely the point? Just kidding. If it helps, I don't think anyone drinks tea because of the flavour or its qualities, but to stop for a while, relax and think. Tea serves no real purpose, it's just an excuse. Personally, I just like the smell. I find it calming.

@sampo @josemanuel Add a coca leaf in the tea and you'll stop coffe

@mangeurdenuage Why do people drink coffee anyway? It can't be the taste. I need to pour sugar in there until I see an island emerge, so what's its allure?

@sampo

@josemanuel @sampo X)

@josemanuel imo: depends on how it's made and the roast. just put a 1-2 coffespoon of ground mild roast in a cup, pour water which isn't boiling anymore, stir and let the grounds settle. you can drink that black. sane coffee which is not just a bitter mess really is no rocket science nor does it require expensive coffee or devices.
@mangeurdenuage @sampo

A lot of people falsely think Starbucks is "good coffee". Personally every roast is burnt and by the time it gets into your hands its past what I would prefer for freshness. I use a French press... Some rough grounds in some hot water for a few minutes. I add a little spice (turmeric Cayenne and ginger usually) to give it a little bite and a spot of heavy cream (for a little fat and to cool it back down). No sugar.

@josemanuel @mangeurdenuage I do it mostly out of habit and the need to stay awake but I also do enjoy the taste of coffee. The darker the roast the better, no milk no sugar. I guess it's an acquired taste but I think it's nice.

@sampo Now I'm curious: if you like it so much, why do you want to quit it?

@mangeurdenuage

@josemanuel @mangeurdenuage I don't like stuff that messes with me brain

@sampo @josemanuel @mangeurdenuage what does coffee do if not mess with the brain?

@sampo @josemanuel @mangeurdenuage oh right. That's the reason to stop.


Carry on



My brain seems extra smooth today

@sampo Good luck quitting, then. If you can survive alone in the wilderness for days, I'm sure you can do this.

@mangeurdenuage

@mangeurdenuage @josemanuel but I don't wanna stay up for 3 days straight cleaning the house
