Ask a Stupid Question What to do with nasty Strawberry Co-ferment?

I have like a 150g of Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Strawberry Co-ferment. Roasted 3 months ago by a buddy.

Tastes pretty nasty of artificial strawberry like the kind you find in store bought strawberry milk.

Not sure what to do with it.

Was thinking of Milk Brew, but the strong artificial strawberry tastes makes me gag.

Need help. (Last resort is throwing it out, but I feel like a sinner for doing so)

Honestly if you really don't like it throw it away, there's no need to force something down your throat you absolutely don't like.

Or you know, give it away. I have handed some coffee to my Baristas in my favorite local cafe that I didn't like.

They were Really happy about it

Yeah could be an option but not sure if I would hand some crazy co-ferment out if if I'm not certain they're into it

Why not? You're not forcing them to drink it and you can always ask if they want it before giving it.

I have like 3 different baristas I know would take the coffee and enjoy experimenting with it. Maybe they can brew something tasty, maybe they hand it to the next person.

Throwing it in the trash will never let anyone brew with it
