For example, I’m sure the average joe doesn’t know just how expensive calligraphy pens can be, or how deep the rabbit hole goes on video game speedruns.

    I agree of course. It is just nice to have a variety and it is also worth the money to a degree.

    Although, I must say, I use rather cheap coffee (not more than 10€-12€/250g with the price resulting rather from fairtrade and organic labels than from it being high quality) if I want to make a milk based drink. I personally don’t think most of third wave/specialty coffee tastes good with milk. So using it on a latte macchiato seems like a waste to me.

      Oh, for sure. I close to never drink milk drinks, so third wave stuff is great for me, but acid and milk don’t mix at all.

        In general, I personally don’t think milk and coffee go well together at all, to be honest. I don’t drink milk drinks often, but when I do, I add tons of sugar and sirup and consider it a dessert and not “coffee”.

          Honestly I actually tend to think Oat Milk goes with coffee better than cow’s milk, and I’m not a vegan at all. Something about the oat taste I guess.
