What's the problem with coffee?

Right, I'll come clean... I don't drink instant coffee!

There, I've outed myself!

So, over the years I've noticed, however, that drinking real coffee gets a negative reaction from lots of people. I could drink as much tea as I like, swill instant coffee by the pint, no one would bat an eyelid. But pull out a cafetiere, own an espresso machine, now there's bother. Negative looks and comments on a regular basis.

Is it just me?

At home I drink real coffee from a cafetiere. But at work it's instant just for time and ease of use. But no you can't beat proper coffee.

It's the same with Tea you know...

Offer a cuppa and open a box of pgtip (or any other generic floor sweepings of choice) and no one says a word, but ask who wants a cup of tea and follow it with Ceylon, Darjeeling or Earl Grey and you get the same reaction.

I blame the government!

people call me "fussy" "picky" "snob" etc in a derogatory tone because I won't drink instant coffee but if I called them whatever the opposite of those words are there'd be outrage. I like what I like, I don't I'm better than anyone else because of it, it's just coffee. (Yirgacheffe for preference please )

Yep I hear ya..

I'd rather drink nothing than instant stuff.

My friends call me a coffee snob, i grind the beans before I make it.. It's yum!

I just prefer not to drink horrible stuff is all. Their problem, not mine

Instant? I'm Latin and someone try taking my expresso machine away...

I have no clue. I don't particularly like instant either, so I'm biased and in the same camp.

The problem as as I'm concerned is that it's overpriced and many of the high st chains don't pay appropriate tax levels.

You can't beat a good coffee before during and after sex as it makes you feel hyper :- but let's carry on this thread with supernoodles too and see where we end up.

Loads of caffeine and Es pmsl

People make negative comments about you drinking coffee? What kind of weird ass world do you live in?

Can't beat a cup of proper coffee. I drink instant at work because I can't be arsed faffing around with a cafetière or filter but plenty of other people in my office do.

Thank fuck for that

I thought there was some sort of issue with coffee and meeting people, or sexual function or something...

OP, can you give an example of what your on about? Nobody seems to have had a similar experience.

My cat whines at me when i put the coffee machine on before feeding it so i guess that's a negative reaction.

Snob.

Do people really slag others off for what coffee they drink? Sad world.

Usually sarcy comments about 'your coffee stuff'. That sort of thing.

on the road to nowhere in particular

Mug of filter made in a custom jug that holds the filter paper in the top. Then a cup of instant made with milk when I get to work.

I like Jamaican blue mountain as a treat when I can afford it otherwise a decent Columbia or Brazilian grind.

I understand why people get all snotty about gadgets and machines like tassimo.

I wouldn't see the the point in having a gaggia machine at home, I think that would be nice but a little like overkill for me.

Also where do you go to get all these negative responses. You must get offered alot of coffee by random strangers.

Anyway if you come here you get given a choice, instant, caffiterre or tassimo. No freshly ground as I don't have a coffee grinder so your be stuffed
