Audibly slurped

YABU = slurping does not make coffee taste better
YANBU = slurp away!

I'd have to leave the room if you slurped anything near me

I never offer my dfil a hot drink. His slurping drives me crazy

Coffee us disgusting and should be actively avoided at all costs 😅 but YABU, slurping anything is gross.

Don't know, never tried. But I saw on television that professional tea tasters slurp tea to get the full flavour, so perhaps it's the same with coffee.

ToughFuss · 09/09/2023 09:53

Haha just reading ‘audibly slurping’ made me cringe a bit, you’d never get another coffee from me if you did that nearby 😂

Slurping and biscuit dunking are utterly disgusting.

Mummy08m · 09/09/2023 09:53

Is the context - you live with someone with misophonia?

The way my dh bites into an apple, it's like a crack of thunder. THUNDER. He leaves the room to do it.

Yanbu to drink coffee how you like but if you're going to be noisy, you'd best off wait till you're alone...!

Yep.

I can cope with a little bit of slurping, but why the f do people dunk biscuits in their hot drinks?! Who wants Rich Tea floaters swimming around the cup?!

All that air spoils the taste, so slurping spoils the coffee for me. I wouldn't be having coffee with someone who slurps audibly though. It was ingrained in my from my earliest years that slurping is terrible manners.

FrangipaniBlue · 09/09/2023 10:17

You'd be wearing it if you constantly did that near me.

FoodFann · 10/09/2023 18:21

Alright. I’ll stop slurping 😂

Most things taste better slurped imo

Doesn't mean you should

FourEyesGood · 10/09/2023 18:35

Do what you like when there’s no-one else around (or within earshot), but audible slurping is revolting.

Itick8outof10boxes · 10/09/2023 18:47

Don't EVER slurp around me I have a very low tolerance theshold, noisy eaters and drinkers are asked politely but if they are arses about it I am vu and they soon know it.
Love tea though, gotta to be P.G but def no dunking.😀

Riapia · 10/09/2023 19:29

Slurping will only make you appear as either vulgar or pretentious.

Newtogym · 10/09/2023 19:30

Yes! Don't do it around other people and don't like to hear others slurping anything either but am a fully signed up Secret Slurper. YANBU.

soundsys · 10/09/2023 20:24

It actually does! When you cup (taste) coffee you have to slurp it off a special type of spoon! (And I have to wear headphones because I have misophonia)

cannaethink · 10/09/2023 20:45

I slurp it when alone 😁 it does taste better!
Wine tasters slurp too. Something to do with bringing oxygen in to intensify the flavours. Or something like that.
