      It’s moderately common in my country where coffee is often consumed for the caffeine content and not the taste. We call it the “thief’s coffee” because it’s minimal prep to get your fix quickly, almost as if you were committing a burglary lol

        I mean Turkish coffee is sort of like what you described, but you use a super fine grind and a lot of the grounds stay in the pot. But if you like drinking mud then more powered to ya.

        Different strokes for different folks, I was just poking fun that you’re taking the approach of “everyone else is drinking weak coffee, I make the real stuff” kinda like Terry was certain that his ways were best even though alternatives already existed.

          There’s no pot involved here, you put it in the mug, but ideally you also use a super fine grind so it stays in the mug usually

          Oh fair enough

          To be fair I didn’t mean to insinuate that it’s manlier to drink literal mud, it’s just how my mom always made it for herself when I was a kid and I just… learned to like it. It’s very much an acquired taste. But yes, there’s always a moment of pride when people say “wtf how can you drink this shit” :)
