3. People often try to convince you that you’ve simply been drinking the wrong coffee

“Oh, you’ve only drank instant coffee? See, that’s where you’re going wrong. I guarantee if you have a Nespresso, you’ll never go back.”

Nope, I’m grand, thanks.

4. You don’t know the difference between a cappuccino and a macchiato, and frankly, you couldn’t give two shites

5. But you do occasionally find yourself unable to participate in conversations in the work kitchen

Person #1: Oh my God, I’m so wrecked. I’m going to need three coffees this morning.

You: *makes tea in silence*
