Shame on me.
I just downed two cups of premix coffee.
And not just the usual premix coffee either, but one marked cappuccino.
So here are the premises.
Seeing it being all sunny and what not, I let myself out for a small stroll. Just out and about, soaking in the D. It happens oft while I'm out on a stroll that I see something inviting and I barely give a thought before buying.
So I 'd passed a small shop selling veggies and fruits and I indulged in a couple greens and other assorted colours when I came upon what I term as 'sidekick stores'―stores that aren't superstores but still spacious enough and stocked with all kinds of essentials.
I casually walked in when I saw they'd a plethora of breads and was promptly disappointed on noticing that the breads were largely Chinese and so mostly sweet.
I didn't want to immediately leave the store premises and come off as rude to the cashier lady who'd fixed her eyes on me out of sheer curiosity and I was unable to shake them off. So I decided to get lost in one the isles that said 'coffee and tea' and thus made a quick prance to it.
It was during this canter that I side-eyed a shelf that hoarded big bags of Brazilian coffee. Seduced by the knowledge that Brazilian coffee usually tasted better than most coffee brands out there I decided to check out them bags, when I saw my gaze turning to glossy packets, purple in colour and sporting words like cappuccino, latte, mocha, frappe and what not.
Having always held pre mix coffee in disdain I didn't think much of it, but looking at the word 'cappuccino' sort of weakened my resolve of forever hating coffee premixes.. for I don't even remember the last time I had one, and I know I'd never be able to have a singular real cappuccino in a coffee shop owing to its milk addition.. and soy milk with coffee especially cappuccino wouldn't ever taste as good.
So, I bought a glossy maroon packet.
It held 5 large sachet's and 5 small ones that held chocolate powder.
One'd have to be slightly dumber than a nail to goof up with premixes. So I emptied the sachet in my cup, poured in hot water and immediately the contents began frothing like a poisoned mortals mouth.. this might not be a great metaphor but the looks were promising enough.
I began with a small scared sip and realized it didn't taste so bad. Another sip and it tasted good. Another sip later I was gulping down the liquid like it manna.
It tasted good, real good. It was thick and frothy and absolutely delicious.
I'd never thought a premix cappuccino would be that decent.
So a while after one cup I felt like having another, and I did. And now I've imbibed freely of two cups of premix coffee. It's a bit shameful but in my defence milord the stuff was pretty tasty.
If I ever buy a premix carton of coffee again, It will be a nescafe cappuccino and no other.
