Happy 4/20 everyone! I recently started drinking coffee in the last year after never really liking it. Growing up I would try my mom's coffee every once in a while but it always tasted burnt and bitter. Looking back I realize that I didn't like that coffee due to my mom usually steeping it in a French press for 15-20 minutes.
I got into coffee in the last year due to my roommate who worked as a barista making me some and it being actually flavorful. But we were using a drip coffee machine and it wasn't strong enough for my liking. Before I actually started drinking coffee I liked to watch coffee gadget reviews cause I thought they were interesting? Which is how I found out about the aeropress which is my way I make my coffee in the morning.
The aeropress is kind of a three one thing cause it's a pour over, French press and manual espresso machine all in one, in addition I use a hand crank burr grinder to grind my beans and typically only add a bit of creamer as I want to taste the coffee as much as possible I also usually use medium roast beans.
How do you take your coffee/tea?
After thinking it over I have decided that I don’t want to go back on HRT for a few reasons:
Sometimes I feel “less valid” because I don’t want HRT but then I just remind myself that that’s the transmedicalists and gatekeepers getting to me, so it doesn’t bother me for long.
I prefer my coffee black, maybe with a bit of soya milk sometimes.
i've been on and off of hrt a couple of times. right now i'm in my off time for my own reasons too and i don't know when or if i'll decide to go back on it. we are always valid! <3
