      I used to work with someone who, mid-afternoon, would declare “ooOOooOo, I think it’s time for a ⨍ɑׁׅ֮ꪀׁׅᝯׁᨮ꫶ׁׅ֮ ᝯׁᨵׁׅ⨍⨍ꫀׁׅܻꫀׁׅܻ” and slink off to the kitchen. We had a Nespresso so I just assumed it was one of those but, no, what she did was this:

      • Mug of full-cream milk with several teaspoons of Coffee Mate added
      • Microwave until steaming/bubbling
      • Mix in three or four Canderel
      • Mix in a teaspoon of Nescafé instant coffee
      • Vanilla syrup
      • Add a couple of coffee granules on the surface where they can dissolve to make a pattern because “that’s what they do at Starbucks”.

      So, yeah, these people walk amongst us.

      I hear what you’re saying, but I also appreciate their willingness to find a solution for their need.

      I ended up with some cases of chocolate plant based muscle milk, which is at best really ok. If I drink it in the morning I’ll throw a fat scoop of instant espresso and some benefiber in it. Covers my morning needs and tastes a little better lol.
