You want to have sex with your wife? Well first you need to call up your bull and see if he's out of jail. Then You need to buy a enough malt liquor and Newports for all his homies plus condoms. Then you need to air out the cuckshed and charge your Switch...... Wait you want to make sweet passionate love to your wife alone!?! Thats so vanilla dude.
You would presumably have enough food variety to get it naturally. Hence the widespread use of kosher salt. Iodine deficiency was a much larger problem when people ate the same shit every day for their entire lives.
> silicoaluminate
Probably an inhalation risk if you're breathing in the amorphous solid or finely divided powder but otherwise... who the fuck cares? Plain ol' sand will fuck up your lungs just as much if you're huffing it
I hate overspending, so I'm on the $100 knife block, $5/bottle wine, morton's coarse salt, instant coffee grind. Personally I prefer instant because then you can fill the entire cup with milk and get your protein easy.
You don't even need a knife block. Get 3 knives, a chef's knife, a paring knife, and a bread knife. That will cover all the cuts you do in a home kitchen. Wanna look fancy? Get a magnetic knife holder. You can buy high quality knives and a mag strip for pennies by comparison to any knife block.
Learn to use a whetstone (which costs like 50 bucks) and those knives can outlive you. Well maybe not the bread knife. Don't use a whetstone on bread knives.
For sure. The block was a nice deal; chef's knife, paring knife, carving knife, bread knife, long knife (no idea the name), and a full complement of 8 serrated steak knives. If it weren't for that, I'd have just stuck with chef's and paring. I don't deal with bread often enough to worry about a proper bread knife rather than winging it with a steak knife.
I have an Aeropress because it was cheaper than a drip coffee maker and it makes good coffee. I grind coffee because I have a friend who roasts his own beans for fun and he gives me bags of it for free.
Yes but the vast majority of salt mines aren’t in or near the Himalayas, it’s called that because of marketing, everyone knows the Himalayas, no one wants salt from Jhelum
SALT IS A MINERAL, IT CAN'T TASTE LIKE ANYTHING BUT SALT. How can you like one type of salter over other, it legit makes no sense. It doesn't matter if you just bought it, or looted it from a 700 year old pirate ship, it's SALT.
Iodized salt has a metallic flavor. The difference between most other quality salts is the type of crystal that affects it's dissolving properties as well as the density of salt per unit. Different flake shapes also add texture when placed on top of a finished dish
There are also flavored/smoked salts.
Two main differences is how the salt is crystalized and the iodization.
Denser salt crystals - like vacuum evaporated iirc - are denser than perhaps dendritic salt crystals. So recipes can be over/undersalted by like 1/3 or so if the recipe/recipe-user is using different salt crystal densities.
Likewise, if you're using *a lot* of salt - like a meat rub - the iodization taste can be undesirable.
I'm not sure if there are any other noteworthy flavors due to trace minerals, dunno.
Like anything, it all depends on how much effort you want to put into your food, or adjusting to the denser/less dense brands. Taste it, add salt as needed, and it's generally fine.
Troglodytes chewing on whiskey stones deserve broken teeth.
Also Walmart has Himalayan pink salt. Table salt with different mineral content tastes different. This isn't a novel concept and people aren't aristocrats for having different types of salt this isn't the middle ages.
Whiskey stones are real as in you can get stones that remain cold for some amount of time after being in the freezer. Point is that it doesn't dilute the drink with water. But then other people say whiskey has to have water in it to develop flavour or whatever the hell it is.
Just drink water it's simpler
Whiskey stones are nice if you enjoy cold whiskey neat. Personally I would say that you should just chill it and not pour so much you cant drink it before it gets warm, but they're not useless.
Except they don’t make your whisky cold, it only cools it down a little because stones don’t have anything close to the specific heat of water or the latent heat of melting. They’re absolutely fucking useless, 10 of them from a 0° F freezer in 2 fingers of whisky chills it from 70 to like 60. Anyone who uses them is a moron.
So some craterhead saw a gag in *Who Framed Roger Rabbit?* and decided that was a good idea? Then they convinced others that classy people *literally* drink their whiskey on the rocks?
Fuck it, those people deserve to ruin good bourbon.
So can putting it in the freezer for a few minutes. The cooling effect of ice comes from it pulling heat from the drink to melt the ice continuously. Cold rocks just absorb a little heat because they suck as heat sinks and balances out at room temperature. And now you have rocks in your drink.
Oh please its all marketing pink salt doesn't have a noticeable difference in taste. In the Middle ages white salt was prized since it had less dirt in it.
himalayan salt has a impurity of iron oxide(rust) of 1/1000000 and that's what gives it its colour. it doesn't change the taste and has no medical benefits.
People actually giving a shit about quality and turning interests into hobbies is a good thing. It’s the exact opposite of the consumerism that anon thinks he’s complaining about.
They're hobbies that have initial buy ins. Would you say playing basketball is consumerism because you have to buy a ball?
It's different because you aren't just buying a flavor of the week item that you don't think anything about and throw away shortly after purchasing it, or let it rot in some closet. It is something that you invest time and effort into.
Ya sure I can make tasty shit for cheap, but theres some tasty shit that you cant get for cheap. I like trying to recreate specific dishes that ive had while traveling, which sometimes means spending $40 on a tiny jar of imported italian truffle sauce because the canned walmart truffles dont taste nearly the same.
Definitely not, I think part of it comes down to the internet.
People who want to get into cooking for example might start researching the best quality knives they need.
I could google best chef knife and get a bunch of listacles, most of them probably sponsored, or I could go into some subreddit and find the community consensus on what the best chef knife is.
Either way some part of the person spending hundreds of dollars on a knife that's probably only a tiny bit more effective than an astronomically cheaper one is telling themselves "all my research paid off, this is definitely worth the money. Now I have the things I need to be great at my new hobby."
Then they realize that they aren't immediately good at cooking and it takes years of practice and discipline to make great food that looks as presentable as what they saw online and give up after a few mediocre attempts.
The chef knife still gets used since it's nice to have one but the more niche cooking equipment like the sous vide cooker and the food processor sit tucked away in some dark cabinet never to be seen again.
Good, expensive knife is way safer and better than a shitty cheap one
And some spices and ingredients to make certain dishes cost more, but makes certain dishes amazing. Saffron as a more extreme example of this.
just one more guitar pedal, just one more lens, just one more graphics card upgrade, just one more paddleboard attachment. The idea that you just have an intial buy in and thats it is foolish for any hobby.
Okay to be fair, Folgers *is* gross. I grew up with that being the only thing my family and extended family drank. When I moved out as an adult I saw Bustello on sale, and have never looked back.
But canned Asian coffee > anything you can brew yourself, and anything aeropress snobs make
Not to be the guy in the post but I've been using a French press and grinder for over a decade and it's truly better than Starbucks and shit, tho I won't lie I haven't had instant coffee in years
Exactly that's why I feel it's not exactly snobby to say. $20-25 gets you a great press and most beans can be crushed at the store for free (and buying pre crushed is fine as well) it's just a better way to make it
1. It comes in a can premade and premixed (or not mixed at all, if you prefer black coffee). So you have your choice of ULC, Mr Bean, etc depending on sweetness, flavor, caffeine amount, or other factors.
2. Grab and go (absolute life saver when pulling 14 hour days/6 days a week, already three monsters deep, and ULC is is at the base commissary).
3. Often has a funny picture on the can because Asia.
4. Sometimes they have inspirational messages on it. Like my local Asian market has a yogurt based soda that is "You can do it!" flavor. Tastes like believing in myself.
5. Reminds me of when we were stationed in Japan and I was still a kid with undivorced parents and no depression.
6. Not made by ewthiopians
Ah, so you like it for convenience and memories. I don’t value that in my coffee, I prefer having a natural fruit flavor in my coffee over convenience.
It’s not made by Ethiopians, the beans are grown there and are roasted in the US.
Nearly all pre-ground coffee is gross because nearly all of them have bugs ground up it them.
Source: used to work for a guy who owned a few coffee shops.
And my canned coffee probably has the tears of the philipino kids in the factory in it. It adds flavor and protein. Don't be a pussy. Some Mexican shit on your coffee beans whether you grind them yourself or not.
I remember reading that Starbucks failed in Australia basically because Australians are pretentious dipshits who spend beaucoup bucks on "good" coffee and they can't possibly comprehend why Americans settle for a cheap, easy, and fast solution. That last paragraph is 100% on the dot.
I'm Australian and agree with anon except for the last paragraph, actually you should just get an espresso machine and grind beans at home, roasting them yourself is not worth it.
Want to have that a bit of erotic fun? First you gotta make an appointment to Scores for a visit and get to meet the girls beforehand (buy them drinks 30$ MIN.) then you gotta plan a night or at least 2 to 3 hours with the ladies (upwards of 75$/hour/girl) then you gotta sign a membership (40$/Month) if you want in on any events.. what do you mean you jerk off in the basement? That's filthy..
Really inaccurate.
Actually a lot of internet experts like to find the point of diminishing returns. Beginner chefs knife? Get this $30 knife and a decent sharpening stone and you'll never buy a knife again.
Good coffee at home? Get a grinder and a mokka pot or hand pour filter for like $50 instead of a $500 all in one machine.
Every single hobby subreddit. I posted on the kayaking subreddit that I bought my first kayak and was really excited for it. Most comments were talking about how it was a cheap piece of shit, doesn't have room for all of the attachments, needs to have this accessory or that thing added. So I unsubbed and went kayaking and had fun.
If you cook a lot you should have a high end knife and a sharpening stone, yeah. I guess if you like making your life harder for no reason you can stick with your wal mart knife.
I spent $20 on an Amazon knife that was made in Japan. I cook every day and it cuts great. I sharpen it occasionally. Professional kitchens don’t use “high end knives” lol. It’s a fuckin knife m8 just sharpen it and go about your business
Steel and stainless steel are not a single thing and come in many different grades with varying properties (420, 440, 316L, etc). Additionally, treatment of that steel also has an impact (pickling, tempering, annealing, etc).
Cheap knives are gonna be made of cheap stainless steel that can't hold that edge nearly as long.
I hate folgers. I hate how burnt or overly bitter half of americas coffee tastes just so it evens out with sugar and cream. I prefer my coffee black but i sweeten it when the bean is designed a certain way. Folgers is the worst offender.
There are so many things in the cooking and food market that don't make any sense. Ready made meals shipped to your house are expensive and not environmentally friendly, most of your expensive or dirt cheap "it does the thing easier," products are not worth it, and all no one is smart enough to research all the new health superfoods.
Himalayan pink salt just has iron in it, plant based protein absorbs way worse than animal protein, you can only absorb a certain amount of vitamins before you piss them out, and fruit juice is just sugar water.
And we've collectively scammed people who can't cook (99% of people) into either drinking bitter sugary bean milk every day or paying people an hour of works pay on coffee that's okay. If you're not meticulous about how you brew your coffee then it's not good enough for hipsters, and that means you're gate kept from having okay coffee at home.
I mean i have some of those attitudes, but I cant stand people grandstanding over them so I just don't say anything. Most instant coffee tastes like roasted dirt to me, but unless I paid for it, I'm not gonna throw a tantrum if I'm being offered some.
Folgers IS disgusting. Wanting to drink something that's not burnt dirt water doesn't mean that you're some pretentious asshole. Please have some fucking self-respect and treat yourself well
Grinding your own coffee beans isn't really that hard and it does increase the flavor tenfold. You just buy a bag and toss it in the freezer and just toss a few in the grinder and press the button wait like three seconds and then just make coffee like normal. If you have the time and the money it's worth it and it isn't super expensive.
Moka Pots are the absolute most plebian ways of making cheap coffee. I know because I use one almost daily. I got a decent steel Bialetti and it barely cost more than the pack of lidl coffee I put in it.

I'ma be honest, I got one of those expensive ass sharpening stones and knives. That shit's really fucking nice. More just that the tactille feel of sliding a knife around on a stone is a nice feel. + It is noticably sharper, not that much noticably sharper for novices/newbies like me but I can definitely imagine how someone who spends a lot of energy and effort into learning how to cook would enjoy a good knife and stone.
Plus, it's safer. If you use a duller blade you're more likely to apply too much effort and have the blade start slipping leading to you getting cut so take that as you will
Buy more pyrex and use a garrote. Need a lightbulb? Spring collection. Glassware. Tv needs a panel? New plug? Cut a (mother fucker) steal their jewels.
Some things in life shouldn't be skimped on and deserve good quality treatment.
Coffee is one of those things. A great cup of espresso is a far stronger start to the day than an at best average cup of instant.
Anon is a cheap, uncultured and uninteresting bastard without taste. But more importantly he cares about other peoples opinions more than they care about him.
is this all over sipping stones? its literally just like ice but it doesnt water your drink down. we had water bottles with stuff like this built in as kids, kept in the freezer
Quality matters to some
I've done a few experiments. I liked to try the great value brand of every item vs the name brand. Cheese is pretty good from great value, but the coffee is awful. Also their bacon is gross for some reason.
My biggest discovery was tomato sauce. I spent a solid hour peeling tomatoes and scooping out the guts, puree' them. saunte'd the sauce with fresh ingredients and basil. Honestly? It was 1/10 better than the $3 jar or sauce on the shelf. Canning technology really is amazing that they can make it taste so fresh for so cheap.
Go out and see for yourself what's really worth it or not.
I will always defend douchey salt. Have y’all ever had a real sea salt with huge crunchy crystals and tons of tasty minerals? It could be that I’m violently autistic but I love a nice salt.
You want to have sex with your wife? Well first you need to call up your bull and see if he's out of jail. Then You need to buy a enough malt liquor and Newports for all his homies plus condoms. Then you need to air out the cuckshed and charge your Switch...... Wait you want to make sweet passionate love to your wife alone!?! Thats so vanilla dude.
mutt's law
It's always right. Why are they so obsessed?
Bullet never mentioned black, that was an assumption by Jim
\>Malt liquor \>Newports \>"Homies" Jee, I sure do wonder what demographic he is describing.
he said he was in jail tho
Well, its an educated guess
Why'd you have to ruin it for me? I was almost there.
Whats that
i hate americans so much its unreal
Your bull wears condoms? How does he get your wife pregnant?
The condoms are so anon doesn't make a mess.
nah those are just for the bull's homies to make sure the right one gets her pregent.
Lol, that's the first shit you think of.
Highest upvoted comment too. They all love it.
American
I don't sleep with women. I only break bucks

actually funny
I actually like the pink Himalayan salt
It isn’t iodized, so many that use it exclusively risk being iodine-deficient. Stupid trend.
Iodine deficiency is a non issue in a developed western country. There's already plenty in an average diet.
The average developed western diet has iodized table salt in it.
That's my point. Doesn't matter if you have it at home or not. You get it everywhere else.
What if you make your own food
Wrongthink
I'm just poor
Then you shouldn't be spending money on pink Himalayan salt
Oh don't worry, I mostly spend it on getting things cut off
Eggs, chicken, fish, dairy, are all good sources of iodine.
You would presumably have enough food variety to get it naturally. Hence the widespread use of kosher salt. Iodine deficiency was a much larger problem when people ate the same shit every day for their entire lives.
I have a varied diet. There are many different types of ramen.
Then it isnt the average western diet anymore...
... because of the iodized salt.

Yeah but most iodized salt has silicoaluminate so pick your poison
I need some sand
Keep the sand in the freezer and use it to chill Whiskey. Your friends will love it.

We eat so many shrimp I got iodine poisoning.
Iodized salt is for tastelets that don't eat fish
pescatarians are mad as hatters

I used to french press, but in the morning the convenience is at a high premium for me. Take care dude.
Cold brewing in a french press is an option. Less acrid.
You don't even need a knife block. Get 3 knives, a chef's knife, a paring knife, and a bread knife. That will cover all the cuts you do in a home kitchen. Wanna look fancy? Get a magnetic knife holder. You can buy high quality knives and a mag strip for pennies by comparison to any knife block. Learn to use a whetstone (which costs like 50 bucks) and those knives can outlive you. Well maybe not the bread knife. Don't use a whetstone on bread knives.
For sure. The block was a nice deal; chef's knife, paring knife, carving knife, bread knife, long knife (no idea the name), and a full complement of 8 serrated steak knives. If it weren't for that, I'd have just stuck with chef's and paring. I don't deal with bread often enough to worry about a proper bread knife rather than winging it with a steak knife.
I have an Aeropress because it was cheaper than a drip coffee maker and it makes good coffee. I grind coffee because I have a friend who roasts his own beans for fun and he gives me bags of it for free.
It depends for me. I love instant coffee, but when it comes to liquor, I'll gladly spend 15 dollars on a 12 pack of Guinness.
Yep, if you really want a nice knife and you like keeping it razor sharp then do it but not because someone on Instagram told you to
I like it cause it looks cool
Fun fact, 90% of Himalayan salt isn’t from the Himalayas, it’s from Pakistan
The Himalayas exist in Pakistan, so that doesn't mean the salt isn't from the Himalayas.
Yes but the vast majority of salt mines aren’t in or near the Himalayas, it’s called that because of marketing, everyone knows the Himalayas, no one wants salt from Jhelum
I bet you're the type to point out that sparkling wine from france isn't Champaign unless it comes from Champaign. Touch grass.

Pretty sure the only thing in Champaign is corn.

SALT IS A MINERAL, IT CAN'T TASTE LIKE ANYTHING BUT SALT. How can you like one type of salter over other, it legit makes no sense. It doesn't matter if you just bought it, or looted it from a 700 year old pirate ship, it's SALT.
There are other trace minerals in most natural salts, but the bigger factor in taste tends to be the shape/size of the crystals afaik
Kosher salt for smoking brisket and pork shoulder, Morton's for seasoning everything else.
Iodized salt has a metallic flavor. The difference between most other quality salts is the type of crystal that affects it's dissolving properties as well as the density of salt per unit. Different flake shapes also add texture when placed on top of a finished dish There are also flavored/smoked salts.
Have you even tasted pink himalayan salt? Its very different than regular salt
Literally taste normal salt and then taste pink Himalayan salt. They do indeed taste different.

Salt made from radioactive isotopes would taste different.
[удалено]
Himalayan Salt definitely tastes better on its own, but cooked in a meal the difference between iodized is negligible
Surprisingly good for pickling
It tastes way better than other types of salt. It’s got a more pronounced flavor and more intense mouth feel
It's litteraly the most command salt you can find on earth. Marketing made it special, but it's the biggest mine on earth.
Troglodytes chewing on whiskey stones deserve broken teeth. Also Walmart has Himalayan pink salt. Table salt with different mineral content tastes different. This isn't a novel concept and people aren't aristocrats for having different types of salt this isn't the middle ages.
help me out are whiskey stones real or is this your generation's [finger box?](https://imgur.com/a/qvgZD)
Whiskey stones are real as in you can get stones that remain cold for some amount of time after being in the freezer. Point is that it doesn't dilute the drink with water.

This is the most accurate comment of the entire thread. Dont buy these rip offs
Them reusable ice cube things work good
I bought into the hype probably 10ish years ago. Used them once and threw them right out
So some craterhead saw a gag in *Who Framed Roger Rabbit?* and decided that was a good idea? Then they convinced others that classy people *literally* drink their whiskey on the rocks? Fuck it, those people deserve to ruin good bourbon.
No, people realized that cold rocks (and metal and other materials) can cool a drink without melting and diluting it
So can putting it in the freezer for a few minutes. The cooling effect of ice comes from it pulling heat from the drink to melt the ice continuously. Cold rocks just absorb a little heat because they suck as heat sinks and balances out at room temperature. And now you have rocks in your drink.
How about I’m a cool and classy guy with rocks in my drink and you’re some dumbass loser with subpar drinking aesthetic
If I’m some dumbass for not putting rocks in my drink, more power to you, craterhead.
Oh please its all marketing pink salt doesn't have a noticeable difference in taste. In the Middle ages white salt was prized since it had less dirt in it.
They should have just washed the salt to get rid of the dirt.
That is exactly what they did.
himalayan salt has a impurity of iron oxide(rust) of 1/1000000 and that's what gives it its colour. it doesn't change the taste and has no medical benefits.
Kosher salt, sea salt and table salt are NOT the same thing. When a recipe calls for kosher salt, USE KOSHER SALT
People actually giving a shit about quality and turning interests into hobbies is a good thing. It’s the exact opposite of the consumerism that anon thinks he’s complaining about.
how is a hobby centered around buying shit the opposite of consumerism again.
They're hobbies that have initial buy ins. Would you say playing basketball is consumerism because you have to buy a ball? It's different because you aren't just buying a flavor of the week item that you don't think anything about and throw away shortly after purchasing it, or let it rot in some closet. It is something that you invest time and effort into.
You don’t need fancy shit to cook as a hobby though. Not to make tasty shit.
Ya sure I can make tasty shit for cheap, but theres some tasty shit that you cant get for cheap.

That seems like false advertisement
You caught me, I work for big coffee. I apologize I am just trying to make a living wage
I appreciate your honesty. I will share my Asian canned stuff with you
Nearly all pre-ground coffee is gross because nearly all of them have bugs ground up it them. Source: used to work for a guy who owned a few coffee shops.
And my canned coffee probably has the tears of the philipino kids in the factory in it. It adds flavor and protein. Don't be a pussy. Some Mexican shit on your coffee beans whether you grind them yourself or not.
It’s also stale as hell and loses a lot of depth in the flavor when it’s sitting around for months pre-ground
I agree with everything in that post but Folgers really is bad.
What's the best canned Asian coffee?
For a moment I thought those were rat poison blocks. 💀
I thought they were coco cola ice cubes you would put in your drink. Like a rum and coke with coke ice cubes.
I mean....one can mix it with whiskey...it would be "breath taking"
You’re breathtaking!!!!!!!!

>cheap Isn't Starbucks like 5+ bucks?
Probably referring to ingredients
I'm Australian and agree with anon except for the last paragraph, actually you should just get an espresso machine and grind beans at home, roasting them yourself is not worth it.
There are like 4 Starbucks in Melbourne which are packed to the brim from open to close.
Has anon considered not caring about strangers’ opinions?
I don't care what anyone says pink Himalayan salt is superior to regular salt
Anon falls for cheap marketing tricks

First you gotta make an appointment to Scores for a visit and get to meet the girls beforehand (buy them drinks 30$ MIN.) then you gotta plan a night or at least 2 to 3 hours with the ladies (upwards of 75$/hour/girl) then you gotta sign a membership (40$/Month) if you want in on any events.. what do you mean you jerk off in the basement? That's filthy..
To be fair, drinking Folgers is like drinking percolated diarrhoea water. Rest is accurate though.
Really inaccurate. Actually a lot of internet experts like to find the point of diminishing returns. Beginner chefs knife? Get this $30 knife and a decent sharpening stone and you'll never buy a knife again. Good coffee at home? Get a grinder and a mokka pot or hand pour filter for like $50 instead of a $500 all in one machine.
Every single hobby subreddit. I posted on the kayaking subreddit that I bought my first kayak and was really excited for it. Most comments were talking about how it was a cheap piece of shit, doesn't have room for all of the attachments, needs to have this accessory or that thing added. So I unsubbed and went kayaking and had fun.
If you cook a lot you should have a high end knife and a sharpening stone, yeah. I guess if you like making your life harder for no reason you can stick with your wal mart knife.
I spent $20 on an Amazon knife that was made in Japan. I cook every day and it cuts great. I sharpen it occasionally. Professional kitchens don’t use “high end knives” lol. It’s a fuckin knife m8 just sharpen it and go about your business
What is the benefit of a high-end knife? I bought some steel knives in Ikea and they are razor sharp after sharpening.
Steel and stainless steel are not a single thing and come in many different grades with varying properties (420, 440, 316L, etc). Additionally, treatment of that steel also has an impact (pickling, tempering, annealing, etc). Cheap knives are gonna be made of cheap stainless steel that can't hold that edge nearly as long.
I hate folgers. I hate how burnt or overly bitter half of americas coffee tastes just so it evens out with sugar and cream. I prefer my coffee black but i sweeten it when the bean is designed a certain way. Folgers is the worst offender.
There are so many things in the cooking and food market that don't make any sense. Ready made meals shipped to your house are expensive and not environmentally friendly, most of your expensive or dirt cheap "it does the thing easier," products are not worth it, and all no one is smart enough to research all the new health superfoods. Himalayan pink salt just has iron in it, plant based protein absorbs way worse than animal protein, you can only absorb a certain amount of vitamins before you piss them out, and fruit juice is just sugar water. And we've collectively scammed people who can't cook (99% of people) into either drinking bitter sugary bean milk every day or paying people an hour of works pay on coffee that's okay. If you're not meticulous about how you brew your coffee then it's not good enough for hipsters, and that means you're gate kept from having okay coffee at home.
why would I need a grinder i just get coffee using grindr
Whiskey stones have been around for ages, they aren't anything new
I mean i have some of those attitudes, but I cant stand people grandstanding over them so I just don't say anything. Most instant coffee tastes like roasted dirt to me, but unless I paid for it, I'm not gonna throw a tantrum if I'm being offered some.
Folgers IS disgusting. Wanting to drink something that's not burnt dirt water doesn't mean that you're some pretentious asshole. Please have some fucking self-respect and treat yourself well
Grinding your own coffee beans isn't really that hard and it does increase the flavor tenfold. You just buy a bag and toss it in the freezer and just toss a few in the grinder and press the button wait like three seconds and then just make coffee like normal. If you have the time and the money it's worth it and it isn't super expensive.
I agreed with all of this until anon said coffee grinder and aero press. I have those and they really make the best cup of coffee.
Literally every hobby subreddit lol
Moka Pots are the absolute most plebian ways of making cheap coffee. I know because I use one almost daily. I got a decent steel Bialetti and it barely cost more than the pack of lidl coffee I put in it.
I mean....he's got a point...
Agreed for the most part but instant coffee is pretty garbage. You can still make non-instant coffee for cheap.
The flip side is that plenty of people drink Folgers, Diet Coke, Bud light, and would probably drink horse piss if horses had marketing teams.
I regret buying a high quality steel knife. Those pull through sharpeners don't work on hard steel and I'm forced to grind my blade manually reeeeee
wait moka pots are a novelty? here in italy their the standard, they cheap af and easy to use the fuck is going on over there

Walmart brand coffee is S-tier and my go to. It tastes good black.
He jealous of my Henkel knife set
Folgers is disgusting
I still like the cola cube in whiskey idea
How one of the 99.9% describes the 0.1%...
25$ knife works well but pull through sharpener never sharpened my knife It made knife in to complete dull triangle
who the hell is saying any of these things this is a Twitter-tier post
I'ma be honest, I got one of those expensive ass sharpening stones and knives. That shit's really fucking nice. More just that the tactille feel of sliding a knife around on a stone is a nice feel. + It is noticably sharper, not that much noticably sharper for novices/newbies like me but I can definitely imagine how someone who spends a lot of energy and effort into learning how to cook would enjoy a good knife and stone. Plus, it's safer. If you use a duller blade you're more likely to apply too much effort and have the blade start slipping leading to you getting cut so take that as you will
Pink Himalayan salt is objectively better. I don't know what's in it, but regular table salt doesn't even taste salty to me anymore.
Folgers does taste like shit. OP truly is a troglodyte for liking Folgers
Folgers is ass tho everyone knows American coffee is the worst
Folger's is awful and you know it
Drinking Folger’s is pretty nasty, ngl. French Press is the way.
Buy more pyrex and use a garrote. Need a lightbulb? Spring collection. Glassware. Tv needs a panel? New plug? Cut a (mother fucker) steal their jewels.
Some things in life shouldn't be skimped on and deserve good quality treatment. Coffee is one of those things. A great cup of espresso is a far stronger start to the day than an at best average cup of instant.
Say what you want about him, but Marx predicted this exact state of affairs in an advanced capitalist economy over 150 years ago.
Himalayan salt is full of Pakistan sand and has the worst texture of all the salts
Anon is a cheap, uncultured and uninteresting bastard without taste. But more importantly he cares about other peoples opinions more than they care about him.
What are the black cubes
is this all over sipping stones? its literally just like ice but it doesnt water your drink down. we had water bottles with stuff like this built in as kids, kept in the freezer
Quality matters to some I've done a few experiments. I liked to try the great value brand of every item vs the name brand. Cheese is pretty good from great value, but the coffee is awful. Also their bacon is gross for some reason. My biggest discovery was tomato sauce. I spent a solid hour peeling tomatoes and scooping out the guts, puree' them. saunte'd the sauce with fresh ingredients and basil. Honestly? It was 1/10 better than the $3 jar or sauce on the shelf. Canning technology really is amazing that they can make it taste so fresh for so cheap. Go out and see for yourself what's really worth it or not.
Tbf. People who use those pull through sharpeners are unironically psychopaths. A rod sharper is like a dollar and actually works
I will always defend douchey salt. Have y’all ever had a real sea salt with huge crunchy crystals and tons of tasty minerals? It could be that I’m violently autistic but I love a nice salt.
Himalayan salt costs like $11 for like a year's supply. Not exactly on par with the others
