Bought a $35 frother on a whim and now I'm ruined for diner coffee
Two weeks ago I picked up one of those handheld milk frothers at Target, figured it'd be a waste but I was curious. I've been drinking black coffee for like 10 years, never saw the point of fancy milk stuff. Well I tried it with some warm oat milk and a splash of vanilla syrup and I swear it turned my average morning brew into something I'd pay $6 for. Now I walk into the local diner and their coffee tastes thin and sad, like they forgot to add any soul to it. I keep looking at those expensive espresso machines online and my wallet is scared. My buddy told me I'm just spoiled now and need to get over myself. Anybody else ruin their cheap coffee habits with one little gadget purchase?

That "watery dirt" part is haunting because it describes diner coffee perfectly now.

Oh man, I feel this so hard. I got a little Nespresso machine on sale last year and it totally ruined gas station coffee for me. I used to stop at this place on my way to work and their hazelnut brew was my jam, now it tastes like watery dirt. I can't even enjoy the free stuff in the breakroom anymore without sneaking in my own frother. My husband keeps telling me to just drink the office coffee and be grateful, but he doesn't get it. Once you get used to that little bit of foam and flavor, it's really hard to go back.
