to seriosuly consider strangling a friend who thinks she has coffee the 'proper' way because she has it black?

[bytheMoonlight]

If I have to hear one more time how having milk in my coffee makes me not a 'proper' coffee drinker I may strangle her Agghhh!!!!

Why oh why does she think this?
And how do I convince her she is wrong?

Please help me put a stop to this daft conversation forever!

I have a nespresso machine too. I totally love it. It's the best kitchen thing I have ever bought.

only one thing bugs me about coffee...

and that is...

EXPRESSO

Tell her to stop being so pretentious. Coffee in Asia and the middle east (you know, where it actually comes from) is often served strong, sweet and milky.

Ali it was worth cringing through making myself understood in the face of genuine bafflement of the girl in Starbucks every time I attempted to order it in my delightful regional accent (that even I struggle to understand when I hear played back to myself)

Buy your friend some mellow birds for Xmas! :)

Authentic can fuck off.

I like things that are nice.

She drinks bloody instant fgs!!!! She is not a coffee snob!!!!

I also love my Nespresso machine.

I have to say, I only ever drink coffee unadulterated though. Milk and sugar just spoils the taste. And as for all those flavoured sirops starbucks and the like offer...eugh. We seem as a nation to have lost the pleasure of bitter tastes and want to sweeten everything.

Tell her there's more important things to get her knickers in a twist about than how you take your coffee.

How many a day are you on? I'm up to 5.

Can someone lend me some big knickers?

I wouldn't even notice this comment unless it came as part of a suite of irritating opinion. Anything else you'd like to share

Milk in coffee is like adding sugar to red wine.

And drinking instant coffee is like drinking evaporated wine dust.

YABU

We were allowed wine with lemonade with Sunday dinner when we were kids and I used to put a sugar cube in mine. Its a perfectly legitimate way of taking your wine.

QS - you have it spot on.

OP - YABU

If you are a child, yes, Sabrina!

Red wine with lemonade is very nice if it's hot.

YANBU! She thinks she' drinking coffee 'properly' and she drinks instant??? Div.

Turkish saying: Coffee should be Black as night, sweet as love and strong as death. But I have it milky and no sugar.

I lived in Italy for three years and will drink cappuccino any time I please. Expresso pisses me off though. And don't get me started on one panini, two paninis. Aaaaarrrrggghh.

English saying; coffee should be Douwe Egberts, Douwe Egberts & Douwe Egberts because it's half-price at Morrisons.

How does she drink tea?
Does she drink only red coke?
And real ale?

Yanbu .... She is a twit

Freeze dryed wine granules on the other hand sound awesome

Personally I think coffee should be black, freshly ground and made in a " one of those plungy glass things" ( it's late and I can't get my dyslexic brain round French spelling and auto correct keeps suggesting rubbish.

People who say coffee should only be black have never had a GOOD flat white, brewed somewhere Antipodean...

The hot beverage equivalent of drinking a perfectly poured pint of Guinness in Ireland - dark and rich and with a head so creamy you can stand a spoon in it.

She is BU.
