I... don't drink coffee...
Yeah I drink tea, now what am I supposed to believe in?
i mean its basically just anarchist with fewer steps
Lmao, chinese tea ceremony includes like 500 steps.
I wouldn't personally call "Gong Fu Cha" a ceremony, more like a "discipline" since that's sort of the idea behind "Gong Fu" its the idea of get better at something doing it over and over again, so best translation for would be a discipline. Unless you meant Japanese tea ceremony, but that's not really for tasting the tea its more like the tea is used for symbolism sake like say how wine is used in mass.
I also don't think it has that many steps? Preheat the vessels using water at the temperature you'll be using for the tea, pour that water out, put tea leaves rinse the leaves with the water pour that out, steep the tea after say 10s pour that water out into a secondary vessel (probably a gong dao bei) pour that tea liquid into your small tasting cup and slurp to taste. Pour some more until you need start a new steeping, do what you did previously just slightly longer steeping time.
Honestly I get lazy and skip the pre-heat and fairness cup, then it's even faster/easier than brewing in a pot!
Also tea people should check out !tea@possumpat.io! The only tea community I'm aware of on lemmy. Though it's super inactive right now; I should probably contribute...

No instant? I drink instant every day.
Accelerationist/Anarcho-nihilist.
Fuck
In all seriousness, the Aeropress is fantastic. It's the absolute most bang for your time and dollar, unless you serve multiple people.

Not to yuck y'all's yum, but coffee is gross
I drink a full glass of pure espresso bc I am empty inside
Existing proof that opinions can be wrong
Posadism attempts to introduce elements of ufology into Marxist thought.
WTF?
...Arguing that only communism can allow the development of interplanetary travel.
I'd argue that the infrastructure we need to colonize other worlds is going to require larger organized population than capitalism can provide.
But as a reader that sees ideologies as starting points (that need to be developed so as to create a pathway to post-scarcity), I can't say what the corruption-light system is that will allow for interplanetary colonization and trade.
The fabricator IRL would be late-game magitech that manipulates huge amounts of energy. (A fabrication failure could annihilate a continent). Far, far, sooner, we'll have the food-printer / turbolift system of Star Trek TOS to deliver us our custom-made coffee.
Meanwhile, in 2024, we're having a tough time escaping the gravity of fascism-driven autocracy.
but i only drink tea...
holy shit it classidied me correctly
Once again we must spark the great debate. Is making coffee at home Bourgeoisie or Proletariat?
Neither. Closer to that of the small handicraftsman or small manufacturing worker, who predate both the bourgeoisie and Proletariat.
If you're asking if it's more Proletarian to make coffee at home or buy it, I'd say people should, in general, be more self-sufficent and conscious when it comes to consumption, but obviously not everyone has time for that.
I'm mostly anarchist, but when I have visitors I become a Marxist-Leninist
So say we all
Seize the Means of caffination!
I dont even know the word
After Google: no i dont like stalin
Cold brew? Asking for a friend named me.
Best I got is reformist/social democrat because it takes forever and is good but not great when it's ready
Democratic Socialist. Flexible and widely beloved, but can be looked down upon by people who know and care more about coffee.

Everyone knows the true test of a person's character is the consistency of their grinder, not the brewer. (please don't look on my kitchen countertop- it's full of almost all of these and a single hand grinder. My forearm is crying for help)

Anarchist posadist: "Gas station coffee, hot, no mug."
Slurps the concoction off the replicator shelf
As a Posadist I'll have you know the aliens haven't delivered my replicator yet.
Sort of a pivot, but The Orville did a great bit about replicators and how if you dropped them into a society like 21st century Earth, they'd just end up coopted by the rich and further strain society.
We can't even have future nice things thanks to capitalism.
get away with your fucking bullshit, what about:
- put the grounds in the cup
- pour hot water over the grounds
- stirr in your condiments
- wait for the grounds to fall
- scoop out whatever is stuck to the foam on the top
- drink slowly until you see the grounds
ps: just kidding though, i use the fully automated machine at work like the others there, which puts us all into the trotskyite ca- uh... group, i guess. what i described was the prevalent preparation method in my hometown though
What about manual lever espresso machines? That's my daily driver!
Edit: ignoring my own personal ideology, I think Manual Lever-Machines like the Flair, especially when paired with hand-grinders, are tactile, methodical, and focused on the means just as much as the ends. The actual experience and methodology is just as important as the espresso, it's a ritualistic practice.
As such, I think it's more likely to represent a form of Anarchism, where the means themselves are ends. Marxism-Leninism is usually more representative of gradual processes towards a greater end, whereas Anarchism itself is concerned with the process itself being a good end.
Just my 2 cents, I'd appreciate anyone else weighing in. It's fun to combine espresso and leftist ideology, considering both are important to me!
