Few weeks ago, my friend and I decided to meet at Starbucks but I was a bit early so decided to order and wait for him. I’m not a coffee person but no big deal for me if we’re meeting in a coffee shop cause you know, Starbucks (like other shops) have non-coffee drinks. But i felt awkward when I asked the cashier for a hot choco - some people in that shop looked at me. No over reactions, but i feel like they were surprised with what i ordered.
I’m a bit of a coffee snob. I make pour over coffee daily, have a fancy grinder, and am particular about buying locally roasted coffee sourced from certain regions. My wife is a tea person and never drinks coffee. I’m at most mildly disappointed that we don’t share my love for coffee. I would definitely be more into coffee as a hobby if it was an interest we shared, so it might even be a blessing in disguise.
I don’t care at all about anyone else’s level of interest in coffee.
