Six-Of-Hearts posted:The mall had a Gloria Jeans when I was a teenager (Illinois) and it was the best smelling coffee shop on the planet. I would sometimes get the raspberry chocolate whole beans to grind and brew at home, not cuz it was good tasting (it wasn't) but because the smell was that good. I feel like Gloria Jeans was started by a fundamentalist religious fanatic (or group or something) but I'm too lazy to look it up Never had raspberry coffee, the idea of it sounds nice I'm down one coffee at 8am, inching my way towards number 2 |

I had a cup of Mcdonald's black coffee not too long ago, and it was revolting and... greasy? It felt greasy in my mouth somehow.

If you imagine the paper filter for McDonald's coffee is whatever newspaper was stuck to an oil spot in the street, it makes more sense.

McD's coffee has largely supplanted Tim Hortons as the trash coffee of choice among a lot of people around these parts. Ever since Timmie's merged with BK to form restaurant brands inc., their coffee went from normal bad to even worse (thought tbh it had been going down hill for years before that). McD's started going ham on their McCafe sub brand or whatever around the same time, and people started finding that McD's coffee was like what Tim's used to be. I heard a rumour that Tim's switched suppliers after the merger, and McD's swooped in as a buyer for Tim's old coffee distributors. Or something like that. Thank you for listening to my TED talk on trash tier "this isn't good but I need to be awake right now" Canadian coffee. Never drink Coffee Time or Country Style coffee. |

ATTENTION: GUYS, GALS AND ENBY PALS! I have found the solution to my healthier coffee conundrum. It is oat milk. Unlike soy milk, and almond milk in coffee, I can drink this. Success!

| Here's my coffee hack: buy a can of Illy once, and then reuse the can forever to keep your other coffees fresh. Tbh any time you need a can to keep stuff fresh in, it's probably worth it to buy Illy for the can and then the coffee is a drinkable bonus. | |

If you're just gonna use one as a container or wash it out, ***VERY IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION***: around the inside rim is a razor sharp metal edge that will give you brutal like cardboard cuts around the perimeter of your hand if you just stuff your hand in there to wipe around. Use the back of a steel utensil to peen/bend the metal edge flat against the flange first! |

My coffee buying technique is very similar to my salsa buying. I go to the grocery store with my wife and when we get to the coffee aisle she gives me a look that says "do you need coffee? should I just leave you here?" and I give her a look back that says "yeah, yeah". I look at all of the bags of coffee and then I try to remember which ones I've tried and whether or not those were good. I look to see which are on sale and then try to do the value math in my head of whether the ones that are on sale but still more expensive than the cheap coffee are worth the little bit extra. I see one that I think I've tried before and liked, but it's not on sale and so it's a dollar more. I think to myself that maybe I should try that one that says it's chock full of nuts. It's not really full of nuts though is it? Probably not. That one says it's 100% Colombian. I would never know if they were lying to me on this, but I trust that they're telling the truth. Am I someone who values 100% Colombian coffee? Do I value it more than I value one that is full of nuts? Do I value it at $1 more than the ones that are on sale and $3 more than the cheaper coffee? After about 20 minutes of this I just grab a bag at random because I know my wife is probably finished grabbing the rest of the groceries and I don't want her to give me the "are you seriously still picking out coffee??" look. Salsa is the exact same deal but it's in a different aisle.

Also beer, toilet paper, cleaning products, green beans (both brand and cut), etc. basically 80% of the shopping list. The rest I always obstinately buy the exact same brand and style every time, even though I'm usually not really sure why. |
