Why doesn't coffee have a FAFO culture (lemmy.world)

How come there is no real "wacky experimentation" side of the coffee community? The only one I can identify is the "snobby" coffee community (you know the one), and the rest being mostly just a refrained version of that.

Compare that to the homebrewing community, you have the snobbs (the mead community is infamous), but then there are the "prison hoochers", turning anything containing sugar into alcohol.

Where are the mavericks who perform the important societal task of discerning if "is coffee and cheeto-spice a good combo?" and "what happens if you brew coffee with red bull?"

On a more serious note it would be great so more people try different ways to spice coffee, instead of just trying to brew the flatest, "perfect" brew. I've found adding some fruity black tea to my coffee in a French press to work really well.

I have found that a modicum of salt can be most efficacious

A woman I used to work with would put lime and salt in her coffee. Nasty to me, but she loved it

that wasn't coffee, that was tequila

That sounds positively revolting. I like a little lime in tea, but my palate still works well enough that I don't need to jolt it with hot rat piss just to feel something. Maybe if I make it to that age I'll give it a go.
