Are you implying that coffee is't the white man's drink?
Latinos drink it way more
This. I used to work at a diner and every morning like 20 Mexican construction workers would come in and we’d have to blew a shit ton of coffee cause those fuckers
Got nothing on the finns
I make curry that'd set off your fight or flight.
The comic that makes 4chan seethe every time

calorie-free
energy for long gaming sessions
Please elaborate
The average cup of coffee has like five calories. I scoff at gaming foods or energy drinks. Give me coffee
Then how can it provide energy, anon? It's either calorie free or it provides energy; doing both is difficult.
Caffeine you dumbass
Caffeine doesn't provide energy, it's a neurotransmitter, anon.
Smartass autistic midwit
caffeine does give you energy it just blocks the thing that makes you tired temporarily. drinking it first thing before fully waking up will just make you crash later
Thanks for clarifying anon. I don't care.
You're being a bitch but you're right, caffeine doesn't give you energy but prevents you from being tired
Thank you anon, that was all I needed to satisfy my autistic urge.
The red one tastes the worst, you fool.
By altering metabolism and perception, as with many drugs.
That's not energy
That's just blocking of the "tiredness" hormones. It's good to use sparingly but will fuck you up if abused
I'm way too resistant to caffeine nowadays, I may have fucked up
caffeine is an upper, it makes your brain and body burn carbs, the 5 kc is basically meaningless because it's more like a negative amount
You just described Monster Zero Ultra and unlike coffee it actually tastes good
Monster tastes absolutely foul

For me it's dextroamphetamine
Vyvanse gaaaaang
For me, it's ADDERALL.
Vyvanse is the best shit ever. Too bad it's like $700 a month without insurance and like no insurance wants to cover it for said reasons. It's probably more than that now lol that was like 8 years ago.

If you like the French press style, try v60 for a lighter flavour or aeropress for a slightly lower backend extraction. Especially fruity flavours get a very pleasant boost from those.
I aeropress mine. What's your comparison with using a v60 if you have both? I use darker roasts.
V60 works wonders for an afternoon coffee. While I enjoy it most with a classic Ethiopian flavour profile, the effect is best seen with the more "muddy" origins of South America, or the mildly overroasted styles of Congo or Kenya (not the old style harrar type but the newer Kenyan import beans).
It has an excellent light extraction, so fat and sweet flavours become a lot more dominant, while the toasting tones get more discrete. If you gave complicated dark roasts where the roast hides the chocolate or caramel it can be quite nice, though primarily it helps lift up flavours such as fruit, berry, or flower. I would not recommend it for roasts focused on smokey or burnt flavours.

Imagine not consuming a delicious, healthy, energizing beverage while you game to enhance the experience.
No, too much coffee can cause problems. But taking one big cup before start playing can make you sharper mentally.

Yes. I discovered that I really like the Starbucks coffee they sell at grocery stores. Coconut Mocha and Cinnamon Dulce are she best shit ever made. Never go to actual Starbucks though. Fuck that shit.
Yes. Espresso, for me.
I PUT TOBACCO IN MY COFFEE
Just do cocaine you queer
i fucking love coffee but ive never prepared my own
where do you buy stuff for it, like idk coffe beans and a coffe machine
cause when I try to buy coffe it often has shit like milk or sugar which dilutes the flavour
Get whole beans.
Spend double on grinder than you do on espresso machine (if you go this way.)
If not espresso, get a cheap burr grinder.
Choline is very based. But nicotine mogs all!
Jesus
Just buy a simple drip coffee machine and some pregroubnd beans. One large spoonfull (tablestpoon) of ground coffee per cup of water.
It's so simple anon
>drip machine
Gay. It isn’t hard to buy beans and crush l them with a pestle and mortar. That preground shit isn’t as good as making it fresh
All he has to do then is boil some water and get a straining sock. It’s not a lot of extra work for a much better outcome
Oh anon trust me, I agree, but if you want the most idiot proof way to prepare your own coffee in large quantities, you gotta use a drip machine.
What does a drip machine even do? I am espresso-anon.
Dripper itself is very simple so what does the machine do?
It just heats water and drips it into a filter that's filled with coffee grounds that sits over the carafe (the thing the coffee goes into; also known as a coffee pot).
I mean anon we're talking about like a simple Mr. Coffee machine or some other benign shit. It's dead simple to use and make large quantities of coffee. If you want really good coffee look into pour over, espresso, and french press preperation methods. But like 90% of coffee drinkers I know just make it in a coffee machine.
https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Drip+coffee+machine&crid=1HLF84JCWIJ89&sprefix=drip+coffee+machin%2Caps%2C240&ref=nb_sb_noss_2
Oh I see, thank you. They are not common here.
Oh, you know anon, that's a fair point. I like learning about coffee across the world and apparently the drip machines we use in America are not as common. They make okay-decent-ish coffee in large quanitities in my opinion. I guess your country probably prefers espresso or maybe a moka pot?
Yeah moka pot is most common I think.
Moka pots are also pretty simple anon, if you want to learn you could look it up. I used to drink moka pot coffee a lot and it makes way better coffee than drip machines; they just require more effort. Drip machines are simple. All you do is flip a switch and walk away
Jumping in here to say its really weird coming to the US and seeing just about everywhere from upmarket restaurants to hotel rooms using drip coffee machines. In Australia you simply cannot find cafes or restaurants without seeing a giant professional espresso machine unless you're in bumfuck nowhere.
You make coffee in a sock?
Well it's not the worst thing your average Ganker user will put into socks.
True gamers filter their coffee with their cumrag sock
>cumrag sock
More like post-bibbangtheory secondaries. Us true gamers know how to make a good coffee.
Also wasted trips.
Go to a grocery store and get a plastic filter holder and a pack of Mellita filters. You can grind your own beans or just buy preground coffee, put 1.5 scoops per cup of water into the filter, boil water in a kettle and pour it over the grounds, trying to break up any dry spots - if you need multiple pours just make sure to reboil the water each time.
For me, it's choline, the ultimate gamer fuel.

Fucking meme liquid
Probably just a genetic resistance to the effects, definitely doesn't work that way for most people
For me it's adderall, caffeine, finasteride (can't have gamer skull), and buproprion (to keep the sad gamer thoughts in check)
>I've fried my brain and chemically castrated myself
Fuck man you should have just stuck with the video games
you don't need finasteride anon just don't wear headband headphones
You are drug addicts.
For me it's original monster.
they're tasty but damn they can keep you up at night.
tea is fuckin good. its like a low feeling all day. but i prefer the crashing from coffee as it helps me sleep

Would be perfect if it didn't taste like astringent cat piss.
dont make it with tap water
Which water works best? Bottled?
anything that doesnt taste like chlorine
i use spring water
What kind of third world country has tap water tasting of chlorine?
yeah
pretty much anywhere in southern europe, anywhere in asia that actually has plumbing and in the us you have frakking gas instead of chlorine.
You can take L-Theanine with coffee for the same effect as green tea. It's literally the same thing extracted from tea that gives that effect.
I used to do this. Coffee doesn't make me agitated so I don't feel I need to anymore.
No, that would be weed
I like to drink coffee over other sources of caffeine because it makes me have to shit instantly. Then I am all cleaned out and alert.
Yeah me too. There is no clear mind without a clear bowel that's what I always say.
I've never had coffee and tea just tastes like warm water.

Hurts the body but you keep drinkin it because you need your energy boost don't you you little slut

I dont know about you guys but even if coffee picks me up, i feel it makes my muscles weak and lazy. If i had to workout later in the day, drinking coffee would totally make me feel like im not lifting at my strongest
Caffeine is proven to be halpful in resistance training. It's just you, some people have paradoxical reactions to many many things.
What's the best alcoholic coffee?
40 creek cream is very good liquer.
Espresso martini is a very tasty cocktail.
>40 creek cream
shiiit that sounds good
I seem to be the only person I know who likes Jagermeister in the first place, so I can't really gauge if I'm just insane, but I really like iced coffee with Jager way more than the normal irish coffee. Never tried adding cream though

Coffee comes with a wave of lethargy a couple of hours later.
Or so I've read. I only have 1-2 cups a day and I'm a fucking software engineer, usually we take it straight to our veins.
dont drink coffee for the first 90 minutes after you wake up
got rid of that for me
im no health expert but i have done a lot of drugs. Anything that picks you up, there usually is a come down 90% of the time.
>Coffee comes with a wave of lethargy a couple of hours later.
I wish. I'll drink it at 7:30 AM and I won't sleep until 3AM without fail.

wtf is that? pickled frog skins and the broth from egg drop soup
Tea leaves, retard
Its delicious roasted oolong
Anon...how could you post such KINO images? I must get tea now...
thats a lot of leaves for a cuppa
I really wish I could get into tea but I somehow cannot. It's too... herbal if it makes any sense
I luv the taste of coffee and am not even after the energizing effect
Try a white tea. A different taste that might be more enjoyable for you.
Just buy roased oolong, it's got some charcoal toasty flavors and then dark baked goods kinda flavors.
It's for a few cuppa
try oolong, hojicha, or barley tea

P U E R H
same but my issue is that the flavor feels way too weak no matter which i try and im sure im using the right amoun of water
When I was in Japan I was in Shizuoka for one of the rugby WC games and the next weekend they were having some town festival so my buddy and I visited it. There was a small market and everyone wanted to give the only two gaijins free samples and this man was selling tea right.
I tasted his green tea, black tea, brown tea and what the fuck else, he had it all. He wanted to know which one was best of course and he really wanted me to like the black tea which was some of the worst I can remember tasting. I would drink earl gray over that. I said it was not good, he laughed and showed me a newspaper clipping and a framed diploma- that blend was his personal one and had won that year's provincial tea competition or something. My japanese is very spotty and his English was terrible.
He gave me one packet for free, I bought five more packets and gave them away when I got back home. I still have a handful packets of his green tea though, it was great. I'm saving one forever as a souvenir.
tea is much better because it's a slower release of caffeine so you dont crash, plus coffee gives me the runs
I drink milk because my mom says it gives me strong bones
ill give ur mom a strong bone
Just brewed a cup of loose leaf white tea
Sipping on this. The leaves are purple!
Obser/v/e
My ass keeps bleeding, it's bright red though
that only happens to me when i drink too much liquor and wipe my ass every 20 minutes
>ran out of coffee and new shipment only arrives tomorrow or tuesday
AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
just go to the grocery store
hell, you could go to mcdonald's or walmart: they're everywhere
Coffee isn't fuel by any definition, its more of a temporary boost about 10 minutes or so with an immediate crash afterward that can last 30 minutes erasing any gains you have made. Energy drinks are worst, sure the boost lasts longer but the crash is twice as bad
Yes, yes it is
What's the point of grounding coffee and coffee dripping machine? I just mix nescafé with water and milk and call it a day
>what the point of fucking women? I just shove a cucumber up my ass until I bleed
no need to butt in with your story anon, it's hard to relate.
Nescafé tastes like fucking tar
I drink a lot of Nescafé and if I can avoid it, I do
i got an aeropress a few months ago and making coffee in it has turned into one of my favorite parts of the day
shit sucks because i'd love to drink more than 2 cups a day without having an early heart attack or something. flavors are absolutely incredible and that's without even doing any of the really autistic barista shit
I got one too, it adds a nice little ritual to making the coffee doesn't it?
had been using a french press so the ritual wasn't new but pistons always make things more fun. know i sound like a fuckin shill but shooting out the puck of grounds is just satisfying too
never had pourover but if it's a body and fullness issue have you ever tried an inverted brew or one of the drip recipes where you pour the water on your grounds 2-3 times? just curious because i don't have a lot of good other frames of reference when it comes to what counts for 'good' coffee
but yeah i can imagine micromanaging the timer being pretty ass if youre not already wearing a watch or something
I haven't tried the inverted way, I might check it out but body is typically the sticking point of a good cup to me. Sometimes I purposefully let my chemex over extract at the end of the brew to reintroduce some of the bitterness to the basin of coffee without it being overbearing because it gets diluted. I don't mind a light coffee but sometimes my aeropress comes out too light and it loses all subtlety and just comes out tasting like "coffee".
give it a shot sometime if you ever feeling like fucking around with it, inverted is simpler imo and the recipe that comes with the aeropress is pretty watery and tea-like. there was some autistic recipe youtube shat out for me that seems to have vanished completely which also gave more body for mediums-darks. the recipe was something like 13-16 g of grounds into the press, 60g hot water into the mug, 50g into the press, wait 5s, 50g into the press again, bloom ~1:15, stir 15 times, 60g into the press again, press slow. it sounds retarded but it werks on my machine
I like my aeropress but by the time I finally managed to come up with a method of getting a consistent cup I realized that the best I ever got out of it was mediocre compared to a pourover or french press with more work for less coffee.
With a french press I grind up X amount of beans, pour some boiling water in, then let it sit for 6-10 minutes and I get a strong, consistent cup. With the aeropress I need to use a timer every time so it doesn't over or under extract because the timreframe is so small.
This is what I'm drinking right now, I'm kinda rockin a buzz but I also feel tired as fuck but I don't want to fall asleep because I don't want to wake up fully rested at midnight
>ice coffee
>instant coffee
>cheapest store brand coffee
Which one do you pick?
there are some good instant coffees
I <3 COFFEE THOUGHEVERALBEIT
Is it good for you though?
Coffee is only good if you have the time to grind and actually brew every cup
I don't
I drink normal to shitty coffee and energy drinks when I actually want to stay awake for a long time.
And coffee makes me want to piss and shit, energy drinks only piss.
I have a simple coffee brewer at home and I often put a pinch (more of a light dusting to be honest) of cinnamon and cocoa powder in the coffee grounds before I start the machine.
You can use both or either and it tastes fucking fantastic. You will have to experiment and find out how much of either you need to get the perfect taste but I guarantee that you won't regret trying it. It is obviously going to depend on your water and what grounds you use but give it a try.
Guess I should clarify that my machine is one like
. It didn't even cross my mind that there are other kinds. You have those huge machines in places that churn out liquid tons of coffee each day but even cafés and restaurants use larger drip machines. At work we have two that can brew 2 liters and they simply get refilled a couple of times a day.
Would baking cocoa work for this?
Yeah, it's what I use. I've got 100% cocoa powder for baking, I've not tried with anything else. If you are only making a single cup or two you use very little. If you use too much it's not going to taste very good so start on the low end.
Sry for late reply but how many teaspoons would you use for like a smaller batch of like 4 cups of coffee?
Not teaspoons, a pinch or less than a pinch. Just put your fingers down there, pinch and release, then dust off what's left on your fingers on top of the coffee grounds. Like I said just a light dusting.

why are caffeine junkies so fucking obnoxious

I like the taste. It's great when it's not too acidic or burnt.
