Completely Inconsequential Hot-Takes 2: People Take Too Long to Post New Threads

Ok, that's fair, but I still don't understand the appeal of black coffee. You can certainly make coffee taste good, but it's going to be some combination of cream, sugar, Bailey's, and/or reddi-whip doing the heavy lifting

There's no point arguing about tastes, if you don't like coffee then that's - you, good luck to you, we all have our quirks. But if you add all that nonsense to it, there's no drink you can reasonably call "coffee" remaining. At most it's coffee-flavoured.

You don't, you are again just making it wrong. Heat your water (it does not need to be to boiling; boiling is too hot). Steep tea for ~5 minutes. Add stuff to taste or drink plain.

If the water is more than ten seconds past boiling, it's not hot enough. (The action of boiling dissipates heat very quickly.) If you serve it in a reasonable sized cup, it should be at a drinkable (edit: sippable, not gulpable) temperature in about five minutes.

Some people, such as my brother, being crazy, make it in a pint mug. Then it takes considerably longer to cool.
