Coffee

No nespresso is really not bad though, like at least two notches above keurig. It's sort of weird because it doesn't taste like any other coffee or espresso exactly, it has its own particular taste.

I was very skeptical re: my mom's nespresso machine, suspecting it would be no better than Keurig. It is quite a bit better than Keurig.

but no Rancilio, let's be clear.

We have a Flavia machine at the office so I decided to treat myself to a little French vanilla and the fucking thing sprayed coffee all over my shirt and the coffee tastes like an ashtray and the name is dumber than hell.

I'm only in the office because I'm supposed to have drinks with coworkers/bosses so THANKS FLAVIA you ASSHOLE I'm going to look like a total dweeb in my coffee shirt.

(not really if the stain doesn't come out I'm buying a new shirt at lunch, fuck that noise)

god i would be so pissed sorry carl :(

Eh honestly I don't even like this shirt. It's more looking like a slob until I can manage to go out and get another one.

oh god i cannot handle spills/stains at all

ya me neither

♪ the best part of going to work
is flavia on your shirt ♪

we were supposed to get a monthly cleaning, checkup for flavia machine as part of our lease. it has never happened.

lol jim

i feel very deeply for yr plight but also lmao dying over here

if i spill coffee on a shirt i will legit leave an exec meeting and go to the mall & buy another one

also flavia *is* a really stupid name

flavia shirts are v on trend

any other hater lovin Cafe Bustelo up here in this biotich?

is the term "blonde roast" a made starbucks bullshit term for light roast? or are there others who use the term "blonde roast"?

"made UP starbucks bullshit"

it's also one of the few light roasts I've ever had that's genuinely disgusting

my grocery store stopped carrying cafe bustelo : /

drinking my cof :)

i have never had cafe bustelo how is it
it's like ~$6 for not quite a pound, right?

i am drinking a sbux latte :/
suggest ban myself

will pray 4 u

ty

Drinking barley tea :p

;_;

wow try coffee maybe just my opinion

yeah coffee is p good not sure why it hasn't caught on

it tastes good it feels good not sure why you wld drink anything else

protip: the Starbucks "flat white" tastes better than Starbucks lattes, because they use a ristretto shot setting on the espresso machine. And you can ask for one iced, although the cashier might be confused at first.

good to know, there are unfortunately many situations in which starbucks is the only reasonable option around

sbux flat whites are v good compared to lattes its true!

have to order in an oz accent tho

i still can't say the sizes at starbucks, all i know is "tall"

for everything else i just say medium or large, i really can't

lol me too

Drinking barley tea :p

Oh yes, I went to law school across the street from a starbucks so I understand this well. I have a bunch of "hacks."

One thing I often found fairly drinkable and satisfying was a "Double Tall Two Pump Mocha" -- i.e. a tall mocha with an extra shot and less chocolate syrup, and of course no whipped cream. I also like the "short" size because you get a better proportion of espresso to milk.

I usually just order a tall cappuccino when I go to Starbucks. Last time I was there, I noticed that cappuccino is not even listed on their menu board any more - there's not room for it I guess with all the frappuccino variations.

i'm a recent convert to pour over coffee. got a bodum pour over coffee maker - essentially a chemex but with a reusable filter. A+

question about pour over coffee: since the coffee is very slowly dripping down, doesn't it cool off a lot? one reason french press kind of bothers me is that by the time the coffee is done steeping and i pour it into my mug it really is not a hot cup of coffee. w/ my moka pot it is very hot and i pour it directly into my mug rather than some temporary vessel where it sits

i think the pour over coffee is hotter tbh because it's very hot when i pour it in. (not boiling bc the box said not to but just about)

and it doesn't drip thaaaat slowly, really. i think it's about as fast as my mr. coffee.

u r supposed to warm the mug up w hot water beforehand

no, you bring a kettle of water to just under a boil and then pour it over the filter

no you cast a spell of warming

warming spell is p basic magic
