  1. i would not judge u

  2. even if i would judge u, my judgement should mean nothing. i wrote 2000 words agreeing on hating christmas

  3. i appreciate this!! most coffee snobs will decry instant and have no opinions on the various brands. and yet, i find myself with instant due to the circumstances of living with a baker, and on occasions i will drink it. "swift" sells specialty instant coffee at three dollars a cup and it's not even that good. i've enjoyed starbucks instant coffee but i don't want to support starbucks even before the whole "firing employees for unionizing and/or protesting israel". the nescafe instant gold looks like it makes a cup for $0.25 which is way more my speed.

thank u for sharing

thank u for posting

i think nescafe is a boycott target on the level of starbucks considering all the shit nestle gets up to in third world countries and that is the main reason why i can't recommend it (；∀； )

also nescafe is the relatively expensive commercial brand in my country (it's imported) but it's true that even more expensive makers exist. if you can get it, jamaica mountain peak instant coffee(you'll probably have to import it) is nice (；∀； )
