Here’s a Handy Guide to the Many Different Ways You Can Enjoy Coffee

Coffee is a bit of a lifesaver for many. Can you imagine waking up and not having your usual cup (or two) of the most delicious, magical drink on Earth?

But if you’ve ever found yourself confused when visiting a coffee shop and being faced with a menu that contains a litany of choices, this is the post for you.

Types of Coffee Beans

All coffee is not created equal! Even the different beans matter.

Arabica: These beans are the most popular, and if you drink your coffee black, they usually offer a sweeter taste. Roughly 60% of the coffee beans in the world are arabica, and have caffeine content of 0.8–1.4% caffeine.

Robusta: These beans are less expensive and make up roughly 40% of the coffee in the world. Coffee brewed from robusta beans tends to be stronger, and are made of 1.7–4% caffeine.

Types of Coffee Drinks

Anyone who has visited a coffee shop will probably recognize a lot of these options. As you can see, there are tons of coffee drinks out there!

Each is designed to get you energized and moving on with your day.

Black coffee: ground coffee beans + hot water = delicious

Latte: A shot of espresso and steamed milk with a tiny bit of foam on top

Cappuccino: Like a latte, but with more foam than milk and typically topped with cinnamon or chocolate powder

Americano: Black coffee with a shot of espresso added

Doppio: A double shot of espresso. Get ready for that energy!

Red Eye: A full cup of hot coffee with espresso added.

Galão: A Portuguese drink that is similar to a latte and cappuccino, but with twice as much foamed milk added in.

Macchiato: An espresso-based drink that has a little foam on top. It’s somewhere between a cappuccino and a doppio.

Affogato: A shot of espresso with ice cream added! Hello, summer treat.

Café au Lait: Coffee with a little warm milk added in.

Types of Iced Coffee

Iced coffee is perfect for a hot day, or honestly, even on a cold day. Frappuccinos are enduringly popular all year!

Iced coffee: Exactly what it sounds like! Coffee served over ice, sometimes with a little milk added.

Cold brew: Coffee beans are steeped 6-36 hours, and sometimes cold milk is added afterward. It’s delicious.

Frappuccino: This drink is actually trademarked by Starbucks, and consists of a coffee or crème base, ice, flavored syrups and other, various ingredients for texture and taste. It’s then blended together and topped by whipped cream.

Types of coffee makers

If you thought that all coffee is made in the same way, think again!

French press: A manual coffee maker that is quite straightforward. Add ground beans, then boiling water, let the coffee steep, and push the plunger. You’re done!

Percolator: These are super retro coffee makers that “continuously push boiling hot water bubbles up into the ‘coffee chamber’ to steep the coffee grains.”

Pour over: One pours hot water (slowly) over ground beans that sit in a filter, placed on top of a cup. Your standard coffee makers are basically pour overs on a larg

People Share the Biggest Red Flags About Women They Ignored

Since the 16th century red flags have been used as an indication of danger – a warning that something bad is about to go down.

I live in Chicago just a couple of blocks from the beaches of Lake Michigan, and when I see a red flag on one of my walks, I know that means “Stay away from the water, it’s not gonna go well for you.”

Sometimes the signals we encounter in our relationships are just about as clear – and yet we might be tempted to just keep swimming anyway. Take for instance the thousands of stories that came flooding in based on this prompt from silver_foks on r/AskReddit:

What’s the biggest red flag you’ve ignored because the sex was good? from AskReddit

Here’s what just a few of the top comments had to say about red flags they’d encountered with women in particular. (A lot of this is NSFW.)

1. Fourth time’s the charm?

She was married and divorced 3 times by 27.

– Screamin_STEMI

2. You’re not always the protagonist of the story.

Probably the plethora of empty wine bottles around the apartment, and the knowledge that she’d just gotten out of a long term relationship.

Somehow it never dawned on me that I was the rebound guy.

– the5thbeagle

3. It doesn’t get much more direct…

She basically told me she might cheat on me if she had the opportunity with her ex.

It was my first relationship and I was as stupid as can be.

– Genocide_Fan

4. You can read it loud and clear.

We were in a hotel and she would just keep screaming at the top of her lungs.

I kept telling her to quiet down, but instead that only turned her on more.

Only continued because she was my girlfriend at the time and it was pretty good sex for me as well.

– StaticSh0T

5. I need a diagram for this one, please.

She was my ex-wife’s, husband’s ex-wife…

– mroozienelson

6. If they’ll cheat with you…

Had an affair with a married woman, she left her husband for me, married me, then cheated on me.

If that isn’t karma idk what is.

– G4V_Zero

7. Simple things can be very telling.

She got annoyed because I told her about a coworker who felt bad about cheating on her bf.

She said “just keep sh*t on the DL… Nobody has to know if you keep your f*cking mouth shut.”

Immediately knew someone else was deep in her guts.

– ItsJustRedditRelax

8. Narcissism?

She stared at herself in the mirror during sex.

Fully moaning, and cumming, but would never break eye contact with herself,

– ask-me-about-my-toe

9. After 5 whole months, my dude?

She cried when I just wanted to make out after our first date. She said I wasn’t serious if I didn’t want to f*ck her.

She was 46. And hot as f*ck. I was 31. Cougar time!

So I f*cked her. And the sex was great, but she was f*cking crazy and I bailed after about 5 months.

– Birdamus

10. What can we say but yikes…

She called me the n word all the time. We are not black.

– Arctic_Snowfox

11. Bragging is never a good sign.

All of the lying and bragging about how good she was at it, manipulations, caught her in a lie then caught her cheating and I still didn’t wanna let go.

That sh*t hurt deep for a long time.

– TerminalCrowbar

12. Old problems require old solutions.

I used to have a subscription to Playboy before I met this girlfriend and I’d leave them on top of the toilet for reading material

(before cell phones)

One day after getting situated on the throne I opened an issue and discovered my sweetie had taken a permanent marker…

and covered all the naughty bits on EVERY nude picture (even the tiny ads in the back)

It must of taken her hours to do all the issues

– smilingonion

13. When does a joke stop being a joke?

She was a racist f*ck.

Always said she was joking but I later found out she was entirely serious.

– kalanawi

14. Let me count the ways…

Oh god, so much.

Obsessiveness, narcissism, codependency, overt stupidity, laziness, lack of ambition, all kinds of stuff.

– inomenata

15. And then there’s this simple entry:

She kept f*cking my friends

– mochalatteicecream

Remember to listen to your common sense. And let that voice be louder than…yanno…others.

Do you have a story like this?

People Share the Biggest Red Flags They Ignored from Men

I’ve never been one to get worried over a flag. Unless that flag is pure red, and it turns out I should have paid way more attention to it. Just like in these stories from the r/AskReddit thread that kicked off with the question:

What’s the biggest red flag you’ve ignored because the sex was good? from AskReddit

There were thousands of responses about people of all stripes and situations. Here are a few tales about men in particular. As you can imagine, some of these stories are disturbing and/or NSFW. Reader discretion advised.

1. Moving on up?

was hooking up/very casually dating a guy (an idiot) I’d met on tinder. i had a cat at the time, and was leaving for a long weekend so asked him to feed the cat.

i came home and he had moved in to my apartment. like fully moved in. his clothes in the closet, his sheets on my bed, he’d brought furniture from his parents house, and he put his high school hockey trophys on display in the kitchen (we were 26 and 27).

i regret to say it lasted several months, but it did not end well. what a d*ck, pun very much intended.

– allblackeverythng

2. Solve for ex.

His “ex” kept showing up at his place.

Come to find out months later, they were still together and just fighting.

And I was the unwitting other woman. :

– femmemalin

3. You’re no superman.

His savior complex with everyone around us, when we could barley manage.

– 7129527190

4. Sometimes it’s literally trash.

He would let his garbage overflow and never take it outside. His kitchen was gross. So much drug abuse, he was a plug.

Dated again, within a week he was sending me pictures of him slitting his wrists and saying he could get anybody killed.

I ran like hell.

– Readkt92

5. Smoking out the truth.

He told me he didn’t smoke cigarettes when we met and then a week later he did because “his friend started up again and needed emotional support because he didn’t want to smoke alone” (????)

He also told straight-up told me that if this one friend didn’t like me than I wasn’t “allowed” to be his girlfriend. It red-flagged a bit in my mind because I was like what’s up with this control-freak friend and why do you obey him?

And then I just ignored it for 6 months. His friend would almost never speak directly to me but I was always getting, “friend says you don’t have to hang around if you’re not going to play beer pong for 3 hours for the 4th time this week,” or “we don’t have enough controllers for the Wii U, so if you want to play, friend says you have to buy your own controller because we can’t share,” “friend says that you and I can’t hang out today because he’s upset about something.” etc.

…anyway, whatever the deal was with this friend the smoking thing was definitely in part an excuse, because it quickly became clear (another red flag that I ignored) that he was an addict. He literally needed to smoke something (either cigarettes or weed resin, but usually weed.) like every 45 minutes to an hour and we couldn’t go anywhere because he’d start getting cranky. Not like he ever had money to go anywhere because he had like a dragon’s horde of weed to maintain.

Anyway, he ghosted me, because his friend told him to, I’m sure. I was devastated lol

– noexplanation2069

6. Let’s retake anatomy 101.

He legitimately believed his butthole was self-lubricating…

– WolfNThorn

7. Rick & Morty has the worst fanbase.

His tattoo of an anthropomorphic pickle smoking a joint.

Think Towelie…but a pickle.

– hammetar

8. Abuse isn’t cute.

He liked to put me down.

He’d tell me I was stupid or that I didnt matter, in a tone that walked a fine line between joking and laughing with me and not joking at laughing at me.

I should have left him sooner but DAMN, could he work a c*ck

– Appstmntnr

9.

He would get a boner when I would cry..

– m_olive14

10. That must have been killer good.

I jokingly told him only serial killers and married men don’t have a Facebook and that’s when he told me he was wanted for murder in the U.K.

So I fucked him one last night and stopped answering his calls.

– Ikonic1904

11. Sometimes the red flag also has a little white and blue.

The giant Confederate flag on the wall

– nathz7754

12. Old fashioned doesn’t mean good.

Was really pro misogyny. He wanted a girl to save herself for him.

Didn’t want to use condom, but I forced him.

But the sex was good and he was generous with me.

– crystalclearbuffon

13. Watch out for that ego.

The fact he had a poster of himself blown up to fit his wall In his room

– ObjectiveTwo5

14. A rose by any other name would still have thorns.

He lied about his name. We were just casually seeing each other (FWB) so I never thought to question things.

Finally found out about 6 months in by looking at his license.

Turns out he lied because he didnt trust having his personal information on the internet (tinder) and never thought to correct it after we started seeing each other. Super weird. I stuck around for a while because no one likes a dry spell but it wasn’t as good after that for some reason.

– clamber333

15. Run, run, run, run!

He was 34 and I was 22. He never stopped talking about his best friend who was female and 21.

One night he got really drunk told me he was single (we had been dating 3 months) and he was mad his best friend told him she loved him but wouldn’t break up with her boyfriend.

He also once mentioned about how her doing a cartwheel when she was 17 turned his dick into “jelly” I don’t even know what that means.

– SanjiLove

What can we say but yikes? Glad to know that all of these people got out of those situations. Remember, don’t let a good time cause you a whole bunch of bad ones. Know the signs. Only you can prevent dumpster fires.

Very Specific Tumblr Posts You Don’t Want to Miss

Tumblr is a longer form than Twitter or Instagram, but you interact with people you don’t really know, unlike on Facebook. It’s grouped more into people of like interests than anything else, and if you ask me, the comment threads are the place to be.

People are just so clever here, and while these 11 replies might be sort of specific, that doesn’t make them any less funny.

11. Apparently it resonated with plenty of people.

I think I can see why.

A Girl’s Email to Her Professor About a Late Assignment Is a Whole Mood

There are a lot of people struggling with the concept of time and deadlines and calendars right now. Since March, everything has run together a bit – and that fact really amped up when summer arrived and we no longer had to pretend to go to school/make sure our kids “did school.”

I guess some college kids were still taking summer classes, though, and online to boot – they’re having to figure out how to work their college’s online site, communicate with professors, learn on their own, and probably devise a way to get some kind of privacy while they continue to live at home.

This student, rainbowkarolina on Tumblr, realized after the fact that her assignment – which she had worked hard on and completed – was past due.

Photo Credit: Tumblr

She pointed out on Tumblr that she thought we’d all agreed that the concept of time was dead for the moment, and decided to email her professor to relay the message.

Image Credit: Tumblr

I think we can all agree that her note was professional and fun, but also explained well what she and everyone else is going through with, you know *gestures wildly* everything that’s going on.

His response, however, is pure gold.

Image Credit: Tumblr

In the grand tradition of wonderful college professors everywhere, he replied with suggestions on how she could keep track of due dates in the future, but gave her a pass on this one because she’d entertained him with her message, and also because her work did, in fact, bop as promised.

His comment about having to run that term by his daughter was my favorite.

Photo Credit: Tumblr

This is why “college professor” is still my dream job even though it’s probably never going to happen.

They’re just so cool and funny even when they don’t have to be!

The good ones, anyway.

Here’s hoping they’re all good ones like Phil, students! And good luck!
