In May I got one of those $10 metal teapots you see at Indian restaurants in North America and pretty much everywhere in the UK/Ireland and it's insanely easy to clean and handle compared to my ceramic one, which has a hollow handle that I am positive must be clogged with old tea leaves. I now drink a pot of hot tea every morning without feeling like it's a big production.

(Making my tea in the morning, if my tea tasted like coffee) OK, good, after half an hour of preparation using $5000 lab-grade equipment I've distilled my tablespoon of ultra-concentrated colon blaster [tea], now to add to this tiny amount of [tea] several cups of heavy cream, refined sugar, clarified butter, and Hershey's chocolate syrup to make it palatable. mmm-mmm

(Reality) Water finished boiling while I was in the shower, I'll just toss some leaves in this empty pot and pour the water over them. Tasty, healthy, and refined!

I'm replacing my whole rig with an all-in-one unit and it's looking a little pricey but I think worth it since I'll use it at least every day. Which looks better—black, green, or blue?

Had a lot of decent to good coffee in Stockholm and Oslo last couple weeks. Their tea culture is loving weak, though. You can't get a pot of tea for any price or even a cup larger than about 6 oz (Lipton breakfast blend, no refills, that'll be 30 Kr please).

Shaggar posted:

tea drinkers are human refuse

Coffee drinking is a perfect metonym for the decay of Western civilization. The civil rights movement fizzles out under the weight of coffee-sipping slam poets. The constant upward transfer of wealth is masked by yuppie enthusiasm for pumpkin lattes. Middle-class Americans fetishize the "industrial aesthetic" of coffee shops and baristas who cosplay as skilled laborers while manufacturing jobs flee the country and proletarian resentment grows. Twenty-somethings who honestly believe in the possibility of progress yet have never voted use the latest cell phone to share with thousands of strangers the gritty diarrhea they squirted out of a machine that cost more than the salary of a Liberian doctor. If Trump becomes President, or his inevitable successor, some other nationalist demagogue with the rough edges filed down, historians will trace a chain of escalating causes that closely tracks the rising price of a flat white in Brooklyn.

I was mainly talking about baristas, since this is the coffee thread, and while I don't have the numbers in front of me, let me put it this way, actually nevermind I won't put it that way since I just got off a 30-day, but let me put it this way: you're not going to find a German comparative literature grad behind the counter of a Bojangles in Atlanta.

Oh yeah, that's another way that tea is vastly superior to coffee: tea doesn't strip the lining of your small intestine and express it in a slimy yellow soup. Why am I not surprised that the forum full of cat owners who finger their cats' buttholes to harvest their nectar is also a partisan of the revolting poisonous barbarian drink?

If you didn't constantly, consciously alter your aesthetic sensibility to goosestep in time with Howard Schultz, Tim Cook, and Karl-Johan Persson, you might live a happier and more frugal life like your mother-in-law and other people capable of enjoying things they haven't overpaid for.

have you ever made a post where you haven't been making GBS threads on someone else's enjoyment? you really are a broken person. i guess we can thank the military for that

that someone mocking your coffee machine caused you to post this crap makes me think it is you who has the problem

e: also, you've got your logic backwards. Certain kinds of people are drawn to join the military in the first place. A smaller subset of those stay in past their enlistment period. The military doesn't change anything except the clothes and the hair.
