How about your cup of coffee? Chances are you'll find more differences than similarities if you compare it to the cup your parents used to drink. The way in which we have come to view coffee in our country, and especially really tasty coffee, has changed considerably in recent years.
The discussion continues
Although the way we make coffee has completely changed, there is also something that has remained:the discussion about what constitutes good and tasty coffee. Since we've been drinking coffee, nobody seems to agree, and often a cup of coffee is followed by a lengthy discussion. Much too soft, just like ditch water, so strong that the spoon stays straight in it; you've probably heard them all. Not to mention the opinions about how you drink your coffee. With so much milk in it, you can't taste the coffee anymore, sugar is for people who don't appreciate good coffee, not to mention flavored syrups. While the discussion used to not go much further than 'too weak' or 'too strong', with the considerable expansion of the ways in which we can drink coffee, the discussion has only increased.
Because how we drink coffee has changed quite a bit. Many adults today only know from their childhood the traditional coffee machine with filters, intended for coffee in powder form. How different is that now!
Something for everyone
Coffee is no longer the drink that you mindlessly throw back at you every day. That you drink as it comes out of the machine, whether you really like it or not. No, the coffee machine of today is nothing compared to the one that used to be. A little enthusiast has at least a milk frother at home, but a special coffee machine, one that you may have to save for, is certainly no longer an exception.
With the most modern equipment, everyone can feel like a barista in their own home. Loose coffee beans are selected with great care, although there are also plenty of people who prefer cups or pads. Flavored coffee is the most natural thing in the world, whether that flavor has already been incorporated into the coffee or is added later. The coffee creamer, whether or not in powder form, from the past has in most cases been replaced by a fresher, tastier version and mindlessly gulping coffee back is no longer an option. With all the effort you put in, all the choices you make, your cup of coffee has become something to really think about and enjoy.
