Due to where I live (Pacific Northwest), I'm supposed to be a coffee snob, turning up my nose at anything other than the finest cups hand-pulled from freshly ground beans.
So, I guess I shouldn't confess my love for this bizarre "coffee" from Korea. I had some a few years ago when visiting, and got the chance this week to buy a box to bring home when I was there again. Yes, it's horrid, sweet, and in an odd tube. But I like it. I sure don't want to know what is actually in it, odds are, there isn't any "coffee" at all, due to how cheap it was ($3 for a pack of 20).

I don't see that as antithetical to coffee snobbery. When someone asks what coffee you like, you can say "you've probably never heard of it".
