Our Athens apartment has two canisters, one labeled Coffee and the other Sugar. One of these is a lie. How do I know?

Because this is the first time I’ve ever drank a lungo coffee with salt. ☕️🧂🤢🇬🇷

Shelf with white metal sugar and coffee canisters.

Oh NASTY! Pitooey!

Though I may have intentionally done such 'mislabeling' during my youth...

@KevinHoctor I bet that was bracing.

@MrRooni I wish I had recorded my reaction. I know I had flashbacks for hours afterwards. 😄 I’ll never make that assumption again.

@KevinHoctor “I’ll sugar my own coffee, thank you”, says Kevin to the waitress at the diner as he pulls a small ziplock bag from his travel pouch. #flashforward

A little salt takes away the bitterness apparently, but not a teaspoon or more. I drink my coffee black … ☕️

@KevinHoctor I once had a similar incident at a diner. I poured sugar on French fries, thinking it was salt. Actually turned out to be pretty good.

@joec You don’t make it sound like a similar experience! I almost died the death!!! 😆

@caspercdn I prefer cappuccino or espresso to coffee and I do drink them without sugar, if they’re high quality. But the Nespresso machine in this apartment doesn’t pull the greatest shot.

I like espresso in a coffee mug … 😳

@caspercdn A lungo shot? A regular espresso shot looks lost in a mug.

Didn’t know there was a name for it but sure. I prefer to drink my coffee slower than a regular espresso permits.
