    I don’t count the cup if it’s used as a vessel for drinking as a secondary instrument. If used as a part of the coffee making process, then it would be a secondary instrument. A filter would be a secondary instrument, and so goes unused.

    You've basically got it, but if you want all the horrible details then press this button.

    Half the time it’s instant coffee. A little bit of water and his coffee grounds or instant coffee goes in the blender, he blends for a bit, then pours in some more water, blends some more, adds his creamer and his sweetener, blends again, lets it settle if its grounds and then pours it in a cup.
    He calls it “Turkish coffee” when he uses grounds because there’s always a bunch of grounds that end up in his cup.
    I don’t know why he does it like this. It doesn’t even save him time.

      Oh duh I forgot the cream and sugar, of course this dude isn’t drinking that abomination black.

      I have more questions than when I started though. Why bother with grounds at all, why not just stick to instant coffee? Why the blender? It sounds like more work than just about any other coffee making method, and it can’t taste good, so why?

            I have your answer.

            He says the more you agitate it, the quicker the grounds give off their flavour so this way he can make something like cold brew super quick since the blender stirs way quicker than he could by hand, and he doesn’t mind the grounds.

              I don’t think he’s onto something

              Straining the grounds with my teeth was a little much so I ran some of it through a coffee filter

              It wasn’t good. I mean I can see where he’s coming from if he doesn’t like hot coffee and doesn’t want to make proper cold brew for whatever reason, but I think I’d rather take the extra time to chuck some coffee in a jar overnight.

                Thank you for your contributions to coffee science!

                Edit: I shall report your result to him, and tell him that he can get better results through traditional cold brewing. Maybe we can save him.

                  I’ll make some traditional cold brew using the same shitty ground coffee to see if it’s an improvement, though pretty much anything would be an improvement over blender coffee. He deserves better than blender brew

                  I can see it being fine with instant coffee though, the “blender just stirs faster” logic works fine there.

                I have no idea about coffee mechanics, but it makes intuitive sense. But I still think it would take way longer than what he does.
