Coffee

m8

I def prefer coffee over mate as a bev but c'mon y'all you'd have to be completely bonkers to argue that 3rd wave coffee culture is like lovelier than mate culture

when is being lovely or communal something to aspire for!!

*slurps cof*

i think ill drink my morning drugs out of a dried out pumpkin with a metal straw for no reason this makes sense

makes as much sense as anything

actually it makes less sense than most things

don't question other ppls cultures that's like so rude

why don't we start questioning that flippy thing at the top of your shirt called a collar what's the point of THAT thing huh????? just additional fabric to spill coffee on

im not questioning other ppls culture im dismissing it

real talk tho, my new home setup setup (freshly burr-ground beans + pourover w/ a scale) has turned me into SUCH a coff diva that I am like trying to investigate which places grind their own beans. Like even if that shit's brewed in a machine and sits in a carafe for an hour I just want something that tastes ok

xp lmaooo

i think the trick might be ordering americanos everywhere instead of asking for drip coffee

I did that for a few years

it's expensive

if im not just ordering espresso i will frequently order americanos with an extra shot

i did order a cortado the other day it was really good

It didn't even occur to me that there might be "coffee shops" that don't grind their own beans

like roast, sure, some places get coffee beans in a bag, but there are coffee shops with no grinder??

I hate Americanos fwiw, would much rather have good drip. However I could see an extra shot Americano being ok.

I feel like they always take on a slightly grassy flavor.

are you putting an extra shot of wheatgrass in there?

r u pouring it on the lawn then drinking it from there

maybe icing it with some winter snow that was sitting directly on the lawn

vegetal tasting coffee is a sign of under extraction fwiw

r u guys still talking about coffee

cracks me up u all discussing beans and grind and roast and extra shots but you never once stopped to consider that ur making coffee with americanamerican water, I mean lol u can't make good joe with yank h20 that's totally a saying in Europe u kno

I usually use Evian

Bottled?

Lol n00b

i use blood

o cool how do you keep the temp constant tho

take it directly out of the pig

baby sous vide

i'm sure a lot of coffee shops grind their own beans tbh but a lot of times i have to settle for, like, au bon pain or corner market or a local grocery or le pain quotidien or starbucks or some similar dreck

Caporcino

Starbucks grinds their own I think!

btw americanos w/ an extra shot are good but red-eyes are a little better

I should start ordering more of those

I would bet both Au Bon Pain and Le Pain grind their beans.

the starbucks espresso machine grinds the beans inside the machine

I think it's basically a custom order version of this sucker: http://www.pauligprofessional.com/en/thermoplan-black-white-3-cbt2-automatic-coffee-machine-4700221

Starbucks's flat white is not bad btw, although every time they try to insinuate themselves into third wave coffee culture they sound a little like Hillary Clinton.

you ponder the proposition with a deep sigh but will probably buy it at some point anyway

I've been told that Starbucks doesn't grind their own anymore

same --- i think the first time i had a cup of coffee where i actually noticed the quality was when i got an americano at this place (http://www.camp4coffee.com/) where, iirc, they did not serve drip, just espresso drinks. that was p much my MO until just a few years ago, when i started making coffee at home

xps to marcos I've done the red eye thing before, it can be good times--especially at places where the drip is in front of the counter, so I can stare into the beautiful color spectra formed by the tiny volume of espresso+crema dispersing in the flow of coffee (don't fill it all the way obv unless you are a clown w/ no taste)

these days I mostly have coffee at places with free refills, or tea at home; but then sometimes I'll order a shot of espresso and down it in a hurry, just to feel more important idk

i am drinkin cof rn

what i made at home

I throw a 5 hour energy into my espresso.

Coffee is just ... fucking hell ...
