I wrote a fiction series with six characters. Each one drinks a different coffee.
I didn't plan it that way. But somewhere around the tenth story,...

那还必须搭配上肥宅快乐鸡fried chicken🤣
忙碌一周的小伙子 就为了这一口快乐水,一口鸡 😛 然后再看看电影 美滋滋
没有女朋友陪看电影，差评！😏
🙃21岁了 一次都没谈过 接触第一次接触电脑到现在已经陪伴了我14年了🫠 时间过得太快了😜
🤣明白了，电脑才是女朋友
Water obviously
Sugarcane juice 🍹
and Indian Tea ☕🤣
I asked you to tell me what browser you're using and why and you are commenting on @xulingfeng 's post.
👏👏 🥲😑
Because replying to your comment takes time, you know And it was my lunch time (breakfast + lunch 🤣), so when Xulingfeng’s post came out, I commented there and then went to eat. Your comment came around that time too!
Come on, have a little patience! I was going to reply anyway. I have to eat too, right? Haha! I’ll reply a little later. I’m a working human, please understand! 🤣
hmm
Ohh bhagwan! 🤣

Used to take coffee, but not any more. Coffee makes me too much dehydrated.
That’s such a healthy routine! Too much coffee isn’t great.
Over here, our classic health hack: steeping goji berries in a thermos 😂
It’s the “adult developer survival drink”!
Thanks. 🥰
Had unhealthy habits for a long time, not any more 🤣
I’m still trying to break my bad habit of eating grilled skewers late at night. But they just smell so good 🤣
LOL. Yeah, why all the delicious food are unhealthy? 🤣
Hahaha, that’s the classic dilemma! You can’t have both the fish and the bear’s paw. My mind picks health, but my body craves delicious food. And my body wins, so I just listen to it 🤣
Depends on the time of day:
Friday? Beer! 🍺🤣🤣
Bitter drinks for the grind, haha! But I’m not into bitter flavors myself — I add plenty of sugar. I also occasionally grab beer late at night with grilled skewers 🍖🍺, absolute bliss!
With the amount of coffee I drink, if I added sugar to every cup, I'd get really fat 🤣🤣🤣
And that sounds great, I'm a big BBQ fan, so anything grilled (with a beer, of course) is awesome!
Just curious, is Apple-C Americano still coffee? 😅🤣
Yep it’s still coffee! Espresso is the foundation, apple soda just adds fruity fizz 😂
Totally agree, grilled food with beer hits different.
I avoid the scale these days 🤣 Even if I look slim, I’m nervous about the reading.
While I'm working? Coffee (pleasure moment, 3 times per day), water (yeah, just hydration, lol) ... after work - a beer ("dinner augmentation") or a wine (closing the day, feeling like a priest, lol) !
All coffee and alcohol through the whole day! Come on, let me recommend China’s office wellness combo: thermos with goji berries, haha 😄
🖐️🤚☠️🔥📈
Compared to other community veterans, my badge collection is pretty small 😂
Lol yeah gotta make it sufferable, so I don't really have a choice!
P.S. no wait, I mentioned water as well, you ignored that! (but only a little bit, if I'm honest)
Oops, my bad! I zeroed in on coffee and wine 😂 Water is the unsung hero then. You can still add goji berries to it!😏
Coffe without sugar + milk || water.
xulingfeng, this character breakdown through coffee choices is brilliant! 😂 i can totally see how each drink matches their personality.
as for me? i'm the fresh R.O. water guy. 💧
while everyone's fueling on espresso shots and oat milk lattes, i'm over here with the purest, cheapest, most constraint-driven hydration possible. no caffeine jitters, no sugar crashes, just 100% clear-headed coding on a $150 phone.
plus, it's basically free and keeps my brain sharp for debugging at 2am. 😅
if my work style was a drink, it'd definitely be ice-cold R.O. water: minimalist, efficient, and gets the job done without any unnecessary bloat. 🐯
what about the rest of the community? anyone else team water, or are you all on the caffeine train?
Wow! Have you not tried other drinks? I strongly suggest you look up Wahaha, a classic Chinese drink brand. Also, you’re still up at 2 AM! Staying up late is bad for young folks who are still developing, so try to get some sleep earlier 😂
haha, noted on the wahaha! i will definitely check it out, always love discovering new classic drinks. 😂
and you caught me—2 am coding sessions are a dangerous habit i am actively trying to break! my mom would agree with you 100%.
also, great catch on the sign-in flow! you are absolutely right. guest mode has strict, hidden limits, and the moment a user tries to push past them (or use advanced features like saving to the library), the app gracefully triggers the sign-in wall. it’s a deliberate design choice to protect the api budget and convert curious visitors into registered users.
thanks for keeping me honest and testing the app so thoroughly! 💧🐯
I hope Wahaha surprises you! Late-night coding is such a hard habit to drop 😂
haha, deal! i'll report back after i try it. and you're completely right—the 2am bug hunts are a trap i'm actively trying to escape! 😂
thanks for the good vibes, the wahaha recommendation, and for testing the app so thoroughly. getting some sleep tonight! 💧🐯
Good night! Go get some sleep. Staying up past 10 PM can seriously affect kids’ height 😂
we both launched our 2 posts.
let's see which post will be more viral lol.
I know it's yours just kidding no challenge.
hands off to you 🖐️🤚
by the way I drink lemonade sometimes and plain water mostly.
Lol, fun friendly race! 🤣 Water & lemonade are solid picks. I’m stuck with coffee for those long testing marathons.
I'm not adult so my mom doesn't allow me to drink coffee, I drink chai(you know this?) only when I am sick.
other wise main drink is water and lemonade
I am allergic to chai :( So coffee only. But I like coffee more, so it's a good thing ;)
It would be even better if there were some pictures. After all, I’ve never seen real chai in person.😅
Haha long black - one and only 😂
Wonderful taste! Long Black is Lena’s drink in my story. She’s also a woman with a calm, sharp mind, and this strong, unsweetened coffee suits her perfectly. It says a lot about your own great taste😄
@technogamerz summoned me, so here I am. 👑
Confession first, in a post about coffee: I don't drink it. Never really have. I suspect it's how I react to caffeine, though these days I won't touch decaf either, so it might just be the taste. Plain water and green tea do me fine.
The Nigerian answer is zobo. Dried hibiscus petals boiled with ginger, cloves, and pineapple skin, then left to steep for hours and chilled. Deep red, properly tart, and it takes long enough to make that you have to want it genuinely. Nothing else I drink tastes anything like it.
One translation note for this thread, since tea keeps coming up. Ask for tea in a Nigerian house, and there's a fair chance you'll be handed Milo. Tea at home means any hot drink in a mug, and chocolate malt is the house favourite. I was well into my twenties before I understood why that confused people elsewhere.
And work style as a drink: a mug of green tea I make, forget about, reheat, forget about again, and eventually drink cold while reading documentation. Which, now that I write it down, explains a great deal about my posting schedule. 😄
Yep! Speaking of tea, I feel proud. Tea culture started in China with tons of varieties like West Lake Longjing, Tieguanyin and Pu'er and more more more.😆
I highly recommend aged ripe Pu'er. Mine has fermented for almost 20 years! It boosts energy, calms you down and helps with skin maintenance, great for anyone🤭
I really appreciate this Nigerian drink trivia. Only locals know these little details!👏
师父, twenty years. That's older than some of the infrastructure I've been asked to support, and it's clearly been looked after a great deal better. 😄
What you've recommended is the exact opposite of what I drink, from the same plant. Green tea gets heated early precisely to stop it changing, 杀青, kill the green. Ripe Pu'er, from my little research, has to be fermented for decades. That's fascinating!
I'd never thought about it that way.
If I ever make it to China, I'm finding the Pu'er. 受教了. 🙏
Ahh please don’t call me "师父"! 🤣We’re all friends here 😂 Don’t use that title next time, I really don’t deserve it.
You’re right though. They come from the same tea plant, yet different processing methods create totally different results. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, fermented tea like Pu’er is healthier than green tea. Pu’er nourishes your body and energy. Green tea gives you a mental boost, but it consumes your body’s stored energy to achieve that effect. It works much like coffee: it perks you up, but there is a cost to it.
This is the thing I like most about you, and you're not going to enjoy hearing it. 🤣 The humility is real. I respect you for that.
But alright, friends, it is. 朋友.
I'll try to drop the title. I won't promise there'll be no slips, because every time you explain something like this, the urge comes straight back.
I've spent years avoiding coffee, running the same arrangement with green tea. Cold, reheated twice; sometimes I forget about the tea while reading documentation. 😄
So the Pu'er sounds more like a healthier option. 🙏
Recently, plain water is my favorite 💧
Caffeine makes me a bit too hyper 😸
Water is such a solid pick! I totally get it, caffeine can make some people super hyper 😂
Grab a thermos, add goji berries into your plain water — my classic wellness hack 😆
it gone viral
86 comments, 39 reaction lol.
I know you will beat me.
Haha this thread totally blew up! All thanks to everyone joining this fun chat 😂
We just keep drifting into interesting topics.
yeah fun chat... hope that fun chat occurred in my post's chats too so that it shows up in active discussions...
I can give you a hint! Compare your first viral post with this one, and you’ll find the answer😆
hmm, let me see.
only this is different I can see. from my other posts.
mostly coca cola, coffee, tea, basically anything but water 😅
No matter what you drink, it just lacks soul without KFC fried chicken as the pairing🤣
Very true... I had KFC 2 days ago, had to drive next town over for a thing, so got some on the way back. It just hits different 😂
You have to drive to get KFC, that’s tough! Call KFC and ask them to open a branch near your place sooner 😂
😭 You dont understand, this town has NO fast food. Literally nothing, the closest we have is a restaurant that does takeaways... No pizza, burgers, chicken, nothing... So only way is a 1h drive to the next town to go get.
Btw, sorry that I've been gone for a while. Wasnt a very fun week tbh. I had to drive through to my parents to go put my 13 year old dog (toy pom) down. He wasnt doing all too great... So really havent been in a very good headspace. Luckily the mother-in-law and brother-in-law came to visit us for the next month, so gunna be a busy time 😂
@xulingfeng Coffee is definitely my staple during work hours too. That Apple-C Americano with sparkling water sounds wild though, I am not sure if I would survive ten minutes of thinking I could manage 30 AI agents at once!
Out of all the unusual flavor combinations you have come across at Luckin or elsewhere, what is the strangest one you have actually enjoyed?
My wildest favorite is their liquor-flavored latte. It has a hint of Moutai liquor mixed with milk and espresso. Sounds crazy, but it works surprisingly well 😂
When I am working, nothing 😂 I don't like putting my hands off the keyboard for a single second. But I do take breaks. I just don't mix drinking & working.
I bet you avoid drinking much so you don’t have to take bathroom breaks, which would pull your fingers off the keyboard, hahaha 🤣
That's actually correct 😮 How did you know that?! I have to go downstairs since my bathroom is on the lower floor.
Please call me Detective Conan 😎
Ok Mr. Xulingfeng Detective Conan 🫡
Black tea from Sri Lanka or India — single-origin, with beet sugar cubes, no milk. Seven mugs a day.
Turkish coffee? 😀
Turkish coffee! I’ve never tasted it. I heard it’s super rich and comes with grounds 😄
Ooooh yes. My partner brought Greek coffee like before covid when he was in Greece, and we instantly fell in love. very rich, creamy almost, but thick, dark, tastefull, it's a must. Unfortunatelly where we live they don't sell it, but we found out from a shop that it's Turkish and Greek coffee the same, and we found Turkish coffee. <3
Haha, then I’ll check if they sell it on the Taobao app😆
🤝💯

🤣来碰瓷的吗，哈哈哈
Coffee and water for me 😄
Hahaha! Let me recommend our Chinese office wellness drink: warm water brewed with goji berries in a thermos 😂
Valerian, mint tea and chamomile tea 🍵
Someday I'll start arrange small tea ceremony
Lovely choices! All of these teas are so calming. A small tea ceremony sounds absolutely wonderful👏
By the way, we also have warm goji berry drink in thermos for relaxation 😂
Irish coffee
Great write-up. The structured step-by-step reasoning made following along very engaging. Keep up the awesome work!
