What's with Americans and hating people who like their coffee black? I haven't heard anyone in the Old World sperg out this hard over something so inconsequential as how somebody likes their coffee.

Faulkner instead of Hemingway
Shakespeare -yeah i said that-
Joyce -this one hurts me but its true-
Kafka -same as joyce-
Beckett
Henry James
Wallace
Pynchon

>As in it's terrible, but people pretend to like it to seem "cool"?

coffee in general 2 b h
ESPECIALLY st*rb*cks

It doesn't even taste that different, just a bit more bitter

>>14278210
It’s lower in calories and tastes better. What’s the joke here?

>>14278236
amerigroids are basically entrained to consume as much sugar and corn syrup as possible. they've biologically mutated to thrive off it. i'd reckon a black coffee would send the average amerigoblin into shock or cardiac arrest. of course they'd be upset about it. black coffee could literally kill them.

>>14278210
WAAAAA black coffee too yucky for me I need yummy milky WAAAAA

>>14278210
Americans should not discuss anything, let alone anything related to some 'taste' of a cup of coffee or the shape of the shit they just took. Go to Italy and order a cup of espresso and tell me you can't tell the difference from what ever shit you indulge in

coffee with milk is the patrician choice

>>14278236
Because Americans who drink their coffee black love to tell everyone and imagine themselves some sort of no-nonsense-badass, while Europeans just drink it and don't sperg out over it

>>14278210
Bukowski
Finnegans Wake
Postmodern literature
Existentialism
Kerouac
Burroughs
Ginsberg
Jane Austen
Virginia Woolf
The Bronte sisters

Not bad, but used more as a fashion accessory than actual literature :

Decadent/Symbolist poets (Verlaine, Mallarmé, and Rimbaud, specifically)
Proust
Dostoevsky
Zen/Mahayana Buddhist scripture
Hindu scriptures, especially the Gita
Tao Te Ching

>>14278272
>coffee with milk is the patrician choice
This. I can only drink coffee either black or with whole milk.

>>14278292
> Americans who drink their coffee black love to tell everyone and imagine themselves some sort of no-nonsense-badass,

No, they don't.

>>14278345
Yeah, they do

>>14278238
Kill yourself

No, I don't.

>>14278238
Retarded

>>14278307
First half was correct (except for Finnegan's Wake), second half is retarded

>>14278236
You're talking about the cradle of consumerism.

Only gays and women get flavored coffees

>>14278395
>Finnegan's Wake
How is a 19th C Irish dance hall tune anything to do with literature anon?

>>14278307
You were only right about Bukowski and Finnegans Wake, rest of your list, total bullshit.

What kind of psycho can't drink black coffee? Maybe you just don't like coffee, go buy a Coke or something.

>>14278292
euro here. people constantly sperg out about how i like black coffee. even if i get an americano or an espresso or some shit they ask me if i want to put milk in it.

>drinking coffee at all
eat roasted beans by the handful instead if you're not an absolute faggot
brewing wastes precious caffeine and time, eating only about 8-10 beans has the same amount of caffeine as a brewed cup of coffee
just buy a bag of roasted whole beans and start small, once you've gone down this path you'll realize how much better it is than that watered down garbage

>>14278487
its literally like buying a cocktail at a bar, but no one freaks out if you drink beer or liqueur

This is a fucking stupid thread.

However, I am fucking retard so I will participate. People who refuse to read fiction of any kind are basically the black coffee gags of books.

>>14278532
This is the most autistic thing I've read on /lit/ all day. Well done faggot.

>>14278532
munching on coffee beans is actually kino. theyre like little nuts but coffee flavoured and maybe a bit chalkier

>>14278565
You're utterly retarded--perhaps even more than I am-- if you don't see why I said that. Drinking black coffee exclusively is understood as a performative form of self denial. People who refuse to read fiction adamantly are doing basically the same thing by denying themselves anything made for pleasure.

The first type of person you described is indeed retarded, and might be analogous to the types that exclusively drink onions lattes with stevia rather than sugar. Or whatever other needlessly complex and different drink. But you are a fag and I hate you for being obtuse.

>>14278292
while americans may be physically obese, europeans are spiritually obese, their idea of culture is satisfying every gustatory taste, legalizing designer drugs, either avoiding work or only working for the state or some beneficiary of the state, using music for niche narcissistic satisfactions rather than for cultural and religious unity, sampling every sexual fetish, turning cultures and mental illnesses alike into safe combination museum-cafes while chopping and melting your own continent into neat economic zones and cultural safe spaces so your vampire elites don't get bored of the lego bin of fine sausages they've built on the blood and toil of the rest of the world

>>14278619
You literally just described America.

>>14278619
Pretty good apart from the blood and toil part. The rest of the world would be subsistence farmers if it wasn't for Europe.

Also most big cities in the US are just off-brand versions of European cities. So a lot of that is true for the US.

>>14278210
wtf, what's non-black coffee?

>>14278670
Coffee mixed with anything

>>14278383
don't I, yes

>>14278656
>most big cities in the US are just off-brand versions of European cities.

that's because a bunch of urbanite europeans moved here and fucked everything up for the pioneers and natives

>>14278672
is Americano black?

itt: /lit/izens arguing over their love of the Big Black Coffee

>>14278682
If you don't add in any sugar, cream or milk, yes. "Americano" just means watery shitty coffee.

>>14278682
I think espresso is kind of a separate thing, personally. When I was a barista I noticed that if the espresso machine was having an issue the regulars would always get black coffee though. So take from that what you will.

>>14278236
It's like Europeans and ketchup.

>>14278699
Did you just describe espresso as "shitty coffee?" I'm not offended, but I do think that's a weird thing to say.

>>14278706
I meant to say the regulars who got americanos would always get black coffees if the machine was down.

>>14278633
>when a brit calls every american "Yank"

>>14278729
I'm not sure what you're implying. I'm also American

>>14278292
>Americans who drink their coffee black love to tell everyone and imagine themselves some sort of no-nonsense-badass

I'm an American who's lived over three decades in five different states and I have never, ever seen this. Are you sure you're not just imagining it out of something like insecurity?

>>14278236
i don't even drink coffee but i don't get how people think a coffee with 5 things of cream and 4 packets of sugar is even still coffee at that point. as if relying on caffeine to wake up in the morning weren't unhealthy enough. there's like a whole normie coffee hierarchy where you're not cool if you don't drink a certain kind of coffee in a certain way that always repulsed me to the point of never even wanting to try the stuff.

>>14278236
No americans care. At most its a little quirk that would induce a minutes worth of small talk.

>>14278210
Black coffee is tasty... Drinkin' sum rn..

>>14278210
Black coffee is good. Beer is good. Acquired tastes exist and are real things.

>>14278210
It cracks me up seeing people put 6 creams and sugars in their coffee
Just order a latte at that point it tastes way better

>>14278528
>even if i get an americano or an espresso or some shit they ask me if i want to put milk in it.
wut?
like on top of the milk it's made with?

>>14278524
this, milk is one thing but who the fuck was the person that tried coffee and said "this is good, but it could use some sugar"
fucking disgusting

>>14278670
Coffee that doesn't mug you

>>14278236
ive found its either the people whose father drank it black so they feel compelled to uphold a code or they are coffee snobs who really care about whether you douse your coffee in lots of cream etc

It's interesting to me that the ability to see every weird niche deviant wacko thing people are not only interested in but enthralled by over the internet does not convince people that I might possibly enjoy bitter tastes on occasion. A handful of cranberries, black coffee, a cold beer, all wonderful things I can sincerely enjoy. I hope everyone else can too.

/lit/, i have a bottle of cold brew concentrate i drink out of every morning before class to function. your thoughts?

>>14278549
what if i don't just refrain from reading genre fiction but also fictional literature? i'd like to consider myself more of a soulless husk than a black coffee loser

>>14279303

>>14279366
thanks frog

>>14278253
Honestly you hit the big thing for me which is calories. I certainly like the taste of milky sugary coffee more, but I don't want my coffee to have 400+ fucking calories.

>>14278210
It tastes nice faggot
You don’t just have burnt out dopamine receptors, you have burnt out sweet taste buds and can’t stand drinks that aren’t full of sugar or milk
We need a word for this besides American

Black coffee tastes like butthole. Give me cream and sweetness.

>>14278711
An Americano isn't espresso, dumb-dumb.

>>14279664
It's literally espresso+water.

>>14280091
Americano=espresso
Americano=espresso+water
==> water=0
hmm...

>>14278750
>>14278345
You probably aren't hanging around the right type of american. Think of a braggart boomer MAGApede

>>14278210
Wtf is this meme. Lel. Black coffe consumption oppression when?

>>14278210
>ordering a black coffee
>at fucking starbucks
what the fuck, when you go to a specialty café you order a black coffee. Or just get a shot of espresso from a streetside kiosk when you're in hurry. When you go to Starbucks, you should order some gay sweet shit, like a pumpkin spice latte, or, better yet, you should never come there.

Wrote some of the best romantic dramas. Not necessarily deep, but enjoyable

Wrote decent novels. Boring at times, though fine

Lole

>>14278875
youre probably thinking of lattes or whatever other espresso drinks there are. espresso doesnt necessarily have milk in it and an americano is just espresso and extra water.
>>14279303
cold brew is good but a lot of those concentrate brands are straight up dookie water bullshit. what brand do you like? grady's is the only one ive had so far that was worth a damn

hmmm maybe i will do this.

>>14280233
my girlfriend goes to starbucks and i dont like desserts in a cup. if its not filter coffee its tea

>>14278619
good prose, bad take (not terrible, there is something to what you say)

>>14280166
Are you retarded?

You can't get good coffee outside of Italy, France and close by coutries like Croatia, Slovenia, parts of Switzerland. When you venture to Germany, Scandinavia, Benelux, UK etc. their coffee is disgusting, they actually drink filter coffee like it's real coffee. You order coffe and they give you that shit lol. I can't even imagine how bad American coffee must be.

Be efficient, skip drinking the coffee at all and just take a caffeine pill for the same content of what really matters.

>>14278236
Starbucks ran an ad campaign that went something like "what does your coffee order say about you"
It is identity seeking via consumerism, in the same way teenagers do with music.
