We\u2019re a little late to this whole \u201cIce-T tries coffee for the first time\u201d party, but now that we\u2019re here, we don\u2019t want to leave. The original video by Coffee Meets Bagel<\/a>\u2014the dating app who put the rapper-turned-actor up to the challenge\u2014was posted a month ago, but Ice-T\u2019s reaction to his first sip is so pure it bears bringing back up. He is all of us at the start of our coffee journey.<\/p>\n

\ufeff<\/span><\/p>\n

For his first ever taste of coffee in his 60 years on this earth, Ice-T does the unadvisable thing and dives straight into coffee by taking it black. No cream, no sugar. I say \u201cunadvisable\u201d because this is how I had my first taste of coffee as well, though mine came at a much younger age, when I thought I would be a \u201cbig kid\u201d if I took a pull off of Mom\u2019s morning cuppa. It went about as well as expected.<\/p>\n

So what was Ice\u2019s response to his maiden coffee voyage? \u201cIt tastes like water, with something\u2026 another taste kicked in later,\u201c a phrase that is now the gold standard against which all Brewers Cup flavor calls will be judged.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can tell you this\u2019ll pretty much be the last time I drink black coffee.\u201d<\/p>\n

Were that the end of the story, though, there would be no story; a guy whose name bears a striking resemblance to a non-coffee beverage not drinking a coffee beverage hardly makes the editorial cut. But a second video, this one released by BuzzFeed<\/a>, finds Ice making the second step in the journey: \u201c[putting] some shit in it.\u201d The shit, of course, being cream\u2014which<\/em> he has also never had before!?!<\/em>\u2014and sugar. Sugar alone didn\u2019t quite turn him into a coffee drinker but the magical alchemy of cream and sugar gives Ice-T (and all of us by proxy, really) that special moment of realization\u2014seen in the in Buzzfeed video at around the 1:20 mark\u2014one which we all know so well, that coffee in the right circumstances can be pretty, pretty, pretty good.<\/p>\n

\u201cCoffee, sugar, and cream: not bad.\u201d<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t be surprised if Sargent Fin Tutuola starts appearing in Law and Order: SVU episodes with increasingly smaller coffee cups: first a 20oz Starbucks cup with a little whip on top, then a 12oz no whip, next maybe a 6oz cappuccino, until finally Tutuola is walking around crime scenes with his own demitasse (because he knows espresso to-go is a cardinal sin but there are perps to be caught).<\/p>\n

Or maybe not. Either way, we\u2019ll always have this video. It\u2019s the pure wholesomeness (and a few curses) that the coffee world needs right now.<\/p>\n
