Olive Coffee Anyone?

[mawnansmiff]

This sounds so wacky to me but no doubt some might find it quite appealing. I just feel if something is just right then it can't be improved upon so should be left well alone.

I've tried butter in coffee, not my thing, but it wasn't bad at all. I would try olive oil infused coffee at least once.

Wifey started doing this about a year ago.

No starbucks in croatia. But I tried coffee beans with olive. Someone in usa did something don’t know what and how coffee was nice but not all day every day

Sounds gross to me.

Easy in, easy out.

I've had butter and coconut oil in coffee, really liked the latter. Olive oil doesn't sound so good.

I managed a coffeeshop for years, even worked at starbucks at one point ...so many things come and go, they are always trying to reinvent the wheel ...fat does carry flavor, so I see the logic here, but I just don't think it's necessary. However, if you dig it, more power to ya.

If you want great flavor, imo, get some high quality, oily beans, grind yourself, french press it ...I just don't need much more than that from a cup of coffee.

I understand that people are looking for alternative fats for their coffee, so what I'm about to say isn't that -- but, fwiw, the only non-dairy additive I've liked in coffee in oat milk. The natural sweet nuttiness works really well.

If I could never drink milk again, I would definitely substitute with oat milk, and I'd be perfectly happy.

I hate the almond vanilla stuff, but oat goes well with coffee indeed.

you have no clue how lucky you are.

It doesn't sound to tasty to me but then again, I drink Folger's with fake creamer and fake sugar in it.

I thought Itallians knew coffee. Why is there a starbucks there?

I thought Itallians knew coffee. Why is there a starbucks there?

Possibly because of the thousands of tourists passing through, aching for something familiar among all the foreign-ness.

Because even the locals want to tey new things!
When Pizza Hut opened in Athens in the early 90s everyone flocked to it like crazy. I remember as a kid you had to reserve a table and wait weeks before getting a spot like it was a high end restaurant. Pity is they bowed out of the market a few years back, I still like that particular plastic taste of their dough but haven’t had it in years.

The Pizza Hut in my small town on the Oregon coast finally closed down last year. In the eight years I've lived here I never went to that Pizza Hut. When I was a kid I used to like their pan pizza, but, like most fast food chains, they deteriorated over the years to the point that they are a disgusting facsimile of their former quality.

My wife loves Salt and Straw's olive oil ice cream. I find it disgusting. I can't say that I'd likely enjoy that flavor in coffee either.

Hard pass.

Oh, good God, the Italians are rolling in their graves!

The oil and water mix in coffee doesn't sound so appetizing, but olive oil on good bread tastes good. I'm not sure that coffee mixture would capture consumers in the U.S., but in Italy, it might do well.
