Coffee

okay that's already Ethiopian coffee

might try this TJ's kenya

yirgacheffe;

stebie you should probably try yirfachgeffe

hmm i wish someone cd come to some sort of consensus abt what type of coffee i should prob try

YR GA CHEF

yr ga chef now dog

maybe thinking i shd just not buy coffee @ TJ's at all and go to like La Colombe or somfin' fancy

the co-op sells it in bulk, tho, that's p dope, i can just buy like half a pound of coffee and grind it and it stays not too unfresh

i ran out of coffee the other day and my local grocery store doesn't sell much whole bean coffee and i really needed some beans so i went to starbucks and bought some guatemalan beans and....... they weren't bad?

rotting moka pot gasket makes that statement kinda suspect /jk

lol

Stevie a lot of central African coffees have similar characteristics you're getting from the Ethiopian coffee, so definitely dig into Kenyan coffees. And there are so many great Ethiopian coffees out there, though finding something fantastic is as dependent on roaster as origin. For US roasters I'm super impressed with Heart and Blueprint at the moment, and Intelligentsia's quality control and consistency are fantastic.

Origin mania is silly marketing bullshit. There are two species of beans. They should be well-grown, well-harvested, and well-roasted.

There are few things in modern life I find as irritating as the cult of coffee.

tbh there is one species of tea iirc and i mean if you can't tell the diff btwn darjeeling and irish breakfast, then...

idgaf abt the cult of coffee, i just want something that tastes like what i like

otm

i love the cult of coffee

Beautiful.

I'm drinking an iced latte from my new favorite place to eat near my work (because you can order and pay online, and then sidle in and snatch your lunch off a shelf without ever having to wait in line or interact with anyone) and this is my first fully caffeinated coffee beverage in a couple of years (I've been easing into it with half caf beverages or iced tea). This should be interesting.

enjoy the ride!

50/50 chance I end up buying that mug in a caffeine crazed spree.

99.9% chance I end up buying this shirt that VG so kindly linked in the Star Trek thread.

right

There are more than two species? They shouldn't be well-grown or well-harvested or well-roasted? The difference between darjeeling and irish breakfast is only the ground the leaves grow in? What?

Origin mania is silly marketing bullshit.

wrong

do u think the origin of wine is silly marketing bullshit too

Should I go and drink some coffee? It's 9.30am and I have nothing in particular I gotta do. Except I have to fdo the thing with the sandal. That.

To a large extent, sure. It's also rarely the sole reason for a drinking or purchasing decision. Would you buy a wine knowing only where the grapes had been planted and say you knew what you were buying?

(x-post)

Coffee origins won't tell you everything about a coffee but they're a very good indicator of overall taste profiles due to cultivars, climate, growing methods, etc! A Sidama coffee from one roaster will almost certainly taste more like a Sidama coffee from another roaster than a Matagalpa coffee from the same one.

for old-world wines knowing where the grapes were grown might be sufficient information, sure.

OK, you're not a wine drinker. I will endeavor to find a better analogy.

yeah like wld u read a post based just on where the goalposts are planted

You're the one moving them around. I didn't say origin was useless information; I said origin mania, where people talk about origin as if it said everything and announce that they buy and enjoy according to origin, was silly marketing bullshit.

oh origin mania ok champ mania is bad i agree u cn tell by how its called mania

"you might like mosel valley wines"
"lol man that's just the name of a place, I will not engage in this moselmania"

i'll send anyone who's sick of origin mania a bag of preground dunkin regular

taking bets on how long it'll take before TWU starts waxing eloquent about robusta beans

fresh vegetable mania is silly marketing bullshit

"You might enjoy mosel valley wines". Yeah, people who know wine are always saying that.

Bring your own coffee if you ever find yourself in Italy, 龜.

lol nobody itt is saying robusta beans are bad we're just saying your constant coffee iconoclasm is tiring to read you're such a petty lil squirt lol

And you are an unpleasant little fuckhead with no substance to anything you ever post. I like how anything outside of the collective wisdom of 10 years of American coffee geekery is iconoclasm.

lol Chinese symbol is an all-time poster and guy imo what a ridiculous flare up

one character username, lots of character embodied imo

No, you're right, I was completely out of line. Only the in crowd can make nasty out of the blue personal attacks. I forget that sometimes.

sounds like someones had a lil too much... coffee
