 And me literally 😂

I don’t like “proper” coffee.

I do however have a refined tea pallet and only drink this:

 Not shaming you at all! There is a different taste for everyone and I sometimes it is hard to define what is coffee. But I don’t expect Nescafe when I order coffee anywhere 🤣

 In Ukraine, the default and preferred coffee when I was there a few years ago, before the war, was Nescafé 

Outside of there and a few countries in Asia, you are correct, you expect a coffee shop to use freshly ground, roasted beans!

Coffee is a cult, the same as Bitcoin or Scientology, choose your cult wisely.

Bitcoin will make you rich, the other two will reduce your wealth 😂

 For sure! Right on the money. In Mexico there is a lot of Nescafé too, but also “Café de Olla” which is an extremely sweet one I do not like at all - but again it is very typical!
