Coffee Culture Exposes the Divide Between Taste and Belonging

People enjoy coffee in many different ways.

Some prefer carefully prepared pour-over coffee.

Others like cappuccinos with extra sugar.

Many people also choose oat, almond, soy, or lactose-free milk.

Coffee drinkers can sometimes judge other people’s choices.

These judgments can make coffee preferences feel like membership rules.

However, liking different drinks does not make one person better than another.

All of these coffee fans still enjoy the same basic thing: coffee.
