I like espressos (especially mochas) but they take a bit of work to prepare a single cup. With drip brew, I can do very little and get unhealthy amounts of caffeination into my corpse. Also, I pour ungodly amounts of creamer into my coffee. That Mason jar is quite literally half coffee half creamer.


I mean, I’d consider myself a coffee snob (although I don’t have hundreds of dollars worth of gear like others, just weird beans) but I do enjoy myself instant coffee as well. And there’s plenty of local style coffee here in my south east Asian country that’s not espresso style that I enjoy as well.
