COME for the acrid taste, but STAY for the lack of caffeine!

“Is there a way to remove the part that tastes awful?”

Yes. Milk and sugar.

I started making my coffee at home and learned that while boiling water is the norm, it actually scorches the coffee. About 10 degrees cooler (just before the kettle whistles) is the sweet spot, and half a teaspoon of salt fully eliminates any “bitter” taste.

Same for tea. The temperature of water has an effect on what extracts.

Yeah, turns out sprinkling cinnamon and sugar on your buttered toast tastes way better than biting into a raw cinnamon stick.

I love coffee but I could never drink it black.
