[Sitting at his dining room table, surrounded by legal books, paperwork and other evidence of his toil, Diego is taking a break to make a cup of coffee in a french press (her name is Lupita.) There seems to be some bizarre ritual to the process beyond just putting in the grounds and water-- he measures with a tiny spoon, putting in quarter and half

That depends on who is there to share it and what the coffee is like.

I tend to ask my friends to distract me from the aftertaste rather than share the bitterness themselves.

[beenwaitinglong]

I don't like people drinking out of the same cup as me.

Of course, the aftertaste is the whole pinnacle of the sip. Ignore it and you might as well be swilling ditchwater.

[frosty_mind]

In the metaphorical sense, it's rarely possible for people to drink out of the same cup. Pour from the same pot, certainly.

[She sighs.]

The aftertaste is where one learns the most, certainly. Both about the coffee and about one's tastes. That doesn't mean all aftertastes can or should be savored.

[beenwaitinglong]

Then why bother different blends at all, if you're just going to choke them down?

[Simply:]

Nope.

[But you probably guessed that about him!]

[beenwaitinglong]

Ha...! Nice and concise. Crisp and straightforward without any aftertaste.

[underachieves]

[He snorts. Diego, man, you talk so funny.]

I guess.

[beenwaitinglong]

Why is that?

[quackery]

I know I want my friends to be able to talk about their problems with me, so...

[beenwaitinglong]

So others have said. But don't you resent having to bear other people's burns?

[quackery]

Huh? No, of course not! If I can make them happier somehow, even if it's just by listening, then I'm really glad.

[beenwaitinglong]

What about when it's your brew, though? Do you share it with others, or keep it to yourself?

You can always just add cream and sugar.

[beenwaitinglong]

The harsh truth is too bitter to swallow for many. I don't grudge them that.

I prefer to take it straight, though.

[kingofrooks]

That's because you like to make your life difficult.

[ So incredibly droll. ]

[beenwaitinglong]

Ha...! Or maybe I just don't see the point in making a special blend if you're just going to wash it out with unwarranted sugar.

[mediumdrip]

Sometimes.

[beenwaitinglong]

Under what circumstances, if there are any specific ones?

[mediumdrip]

I share with my boyfriend and some of my friends.

[beenwaitinglong]

Does it work?
