I'm usually a C2 sort of guy, but through bad luck and (my own) poor performance, I've begun my Sunday morning with a B1. Whilst a bad start to the day, I'm determined not to let it ruin what could be a good Sunday.

Where do you come in on the tea debate?

That'd be C4 then

A=>D is decreasing milk amount, and 1=>4 is increasing strength, so D1 would essentially be water, A1 would essentially be milk and the B3/B4/C3/C4 would be the square of "not pulling a face when you take the first sip" (although I lie somewhere between B4 & C3 so I may be biased)

Wait

When people say strong they mean with lots of milk? I thought it was the concentration of the brew. I like a longer steep is what I meant.

This is the classic problem with coffee, where people think "strong" means less milk, rather than more caffeine.

No strong usually means a more concentrated brew

Cheers, yeah. I sometimes put three bags in the teapot 🤫

I don't think I implied otherwise?

The guy I was responding to said C4 or D1, but strong, implying they were similar

C4 is strong with a splash of milk, D1 is incredibly weak with no milk so it seems as though they preferred C4 and not D1
