Coffee has an effect on people. That is, it does more than simply inject pure energy juice into your veins, making you feel less tired and more willing to face life’s most difficult challenges.

For some people, coffee is a way of life, and if you don’t strictly adhere to the very strict guidelines and common courtesy of what it means to experience coffee, you’ll have problems with them. Or something to that effect.

And one Redditor explained how extreme it could get with coffee in an AITA story she shared a year ago but has now given an update on how the entire experience was life-changing for her.

Meet u/Minaowl, a then-23-year-old living with her then-25-year-old fiance, who was a coffee connoisseur. Because he’s such a foodie—someone with a specific interest in food—he was very specific about certain ingestible items, one being coffee.

The Op was a casual coffee drinker who didn’t give a hoot about the intricate coffee-making recipe. You can probably see where the issue originated from.

This “approach” to coffee preparation did not sit well with the fiance, leading to numerous arguments about how she was making her coffee inappropriately. Despite the fact that they had had this conversation several times, it happened again and again, and you can imagine how frustrating it was for the OP.

A Redditor has shared a story of how her foodie fiance turned coffee making into a reason for abuse

This prompted Mina to tell her story about how her ex turned coffee making into an excuse to abuse her. Scroll down to see how the entire story plays out, culminating in Mina breaking up with him.

And the story begins...

A manual grinder

Before making the coffee

On my end...

It makes me happy

And now, the problem...

Jumping the hoops

He's bothered

And today...

For the record...

And now...

The AITA community provided Mina with some perspective on what was really going on, prompting her to reach her own serious conclusions. The fact that there is an update makes this AITA story even more interesting.

And yes, the Op did add an edit to her story.

Edit 3

Coffee is many things, but taking it to an extreme is never a good idea

The OP released an update a year later, explaining the happy ending to this experience. She also stated that she is doing well now, working as a caregiver, contemplating graduate school to study social work, and living with a new partner who does not make coffee, or anything else, into an elaborate project.

A year later, we have an update

What my ex believes in

A nail in the coffin

I have a job

Grocery shopping

An unhealthy relationship

Want some?

Her original post received over 4,000 upvotes, but as you now know, it was significant in her life, and that means something. But her update received 32,200 upvotes, and it made people happy to see a happily-ever-after ending.

A certified coffee snob

A counter argument

Instant coffee

Quit managing

Running for the hills

This was exhausting

Has he ever explained why?

It's your coffee

Make coffee how you want

Questionable at best

Nobody cares how someone prepares their coffee, because it’s a personal preference, and everyone has one. But the fact that he began bossing the OP around made everyone wonder what else he was bossing her around about, leading the audience to help her draw very serious conclusions.
