I finally realised that black coffee isn't for me (i.e just coffee and water; not even if it has chicory).
I just can't have coffee without milk. So for it's the filter coffee (kaapi), or the instant coffee with milk, and cappuccino et al. I prefer well made instant milk coffee. Second comes the filter coffee and then everything else. Usually more coffee and really heated and stirred milk otherwise the typical fresh milk sort of taste remains and that's not nice. So I have to tell "swalpa strong, sugar beda" (little strong, no sugar).
I have tried for years and I could never make even instant coffee at home that I could like (while I make decent milk tea/chai). So I gave up again and I mostly have coffee outside. At home I keep a bit just for emergencies when I must fight the sleep and I don't have time to step out. Also, because even though I live in the coffee/kaapi heaven Bangalore I am on the outskirts so things are far.

- blarg1 1y agoDepends on the beans, if you can find some that don't have all those weird "flavour notes" nor tastes too concentrated (dark?), also have the amount of water so it isn't strong but also not diluted, then black can be really nice. Coffee shops don't make them like that though, I used a vietnamese coffee maker and had to experiment on how much grinds to use and how much water to put through.
- crossroadsguy 1y agoI have tried to taste some but couldn’t go far. There are not places here where I can go and do the “tasting” paid or sampling (there are many for tea though) and I really don’t want to spend ton of money blind buying and trying.
