currentuser replied to your post: you guys are freaking coffee experts i tell you what
I am now very interested. What kinda of coffee do you make/brew and what kinda of coffee maker do you have?
i don’t actually make coffee at home. i don’t own a coffee maker. if i made coffee at home (slash grandma’s house, etc) i just have plain old folgers coffee with a splash of heavy cream and some sugar free flavor syrup or stevia (natural sugar substitute).
my sister has a keurig and its fucking awesome. i loved having breakfast at her apartment cuz we always had delicious coffee to drink. i used to own a cheapo mr. coffee that i bought for like $15 at walmart and it worked just fine.
estropie, slashwho, ithinkyoureinteresting, and dazzlefly all gave me REALLY helpful info. thank you, guys!
special shoutout to estropie who basically wrote me a novel (9 full asks!) on how coffee works and i learned SO much her. i am a total coffee guru now. woot!
i feel so bad being complicated, but i can’t drink my normal drinks anymore and i just want to have coffee like everyone else can :(
thank you in advance.
ok, fairly complicated situation, please read carefully. i know it’s confusing, i’m trying to be as clear as i possibly can.
i used to love lattes. my fav drinks from sbux were caramel macchiato and peppermint mocha. nom nom nom. i can’t eat/drink sugar anymore (health reasons—not diabetes, something else) so that means no regular flavor shots, no milk, no half and half.
a couple months ago i went to a starbucks near my aunt’s house and ordered a latte but instead of milk, i asked them to do 1/4 heavy cream (like you use for the whipped cream) and 3/4 water. the lady there told me what i wanted was actually an americano. she made my drink and it was hot, delicious and cheaper than a latte, even with all the flavors i add. yay!
fast forward to this month and i’ve gone to two other starbucks near my house and ordered the following drink:
grande americano 2 pumps SF mocha 2 pumps SF peppermint 1/4 heavy cream, hot 3/4 hot water
i warn them my order is REALLY complicated before i even begin, and then i speak very slowly and clearly because i know what i’m asking for is complicated as fuck and really uncommon. i explain that i want it to be HOT and make it really, really clear that i absolutely cannot have sugar, milk, or half and half in my drink. the last 2 times i’ve ordered this, i’ve gotten a “WHAT?!” from the cashier and i have to repeat my order at least 2 or 3 times because they seem to be startled as fuck anyone would order something other than what’s on the menu. (isn’t the whole point of going there to be able to get crazy wackadoodle drinks???)
when i get my drink, it’s barely above room temperature… i am disappointed and feel bad about telling them to remake it because i’m already feeling guilty for being “difficult” because i’ve ordered such a bizarro drink, so i just sadly chug my tepid coffee before it gets cold and bitter.
what i want to know is this:
TL;DR:
i like lattes, but can’t have milk/half&half/sugar. try to sub cream and water for milk, people think i am fucking insane and cannot make me a HOT coffee to save my life. i just want a fucking coffee. plz help.
thank you in advance.
