i love this stumptown coffee.

lololololololol my bf plays that damn Coffee Cantata all the time in the car

He also only drinks Nescafe so ymmv

lol, that's not the kind of thing I picture anyone driving around Brooklyn listening to, except maybe 63-year-old Garrison Keillor fans.

bear in mind it snowed ~3ft over the last two weeks

anyway back to the brew, prob cldve made it slightly stronger but its still p good

Had some cof just now -- the office has this Jura auto-espresso machine that they fill with starbucks beans. It's like just ok enough that I try to use it and not buy coffee, but it has a slight nastiness to it. Super acidic.

am drinking mediocre coff right now :/

I'm usually a light-medium roast guy, but I got a bag of Sumatra Gayo River which was more of a medium-dark and it's making me re-evaluate. It's not at all burnt tasting, but the slightly darker roast brings out some really nice spicy notes.

Sumatra is known for being very zingy and spicy and sharp. I've never really had it light-roasted, but would be curious to try.

it's also often kinda funky! I like the funk but I know that it's not popular with many folks, especially when combined with the zingy acidity you mention.

I have usually really disliked Sumatra, but have never had (or even seen it, tbh) from a roaster I really like.

feel like a lot of good 3rd wave roasters steer clear of it due to the aforementioned funk

Apparently the humid climate in Indonesia poses some challenges to the drying practices favored by most specialty coffee buyers:

sounds similar to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monsooned_Malabar maybe

guatemalan light roast at whole foods is super light and not enough punch but still good when drinking coffee solo

I like caramel.

much better than flavored beans, not as good as just pouring coff down your throat

flavored coffee is bad.

don't use the syrups.

Looks bad

flavoured cof's done gone dead

i would struggle not to flip the table

presentation looks awkward, but I'd drink that cof

yeah that's cutesy but it's just a mix-it-yrself americano

not sure if u cld come up w a better way to make the coffee cold

that restaurant is crazy for carafes

anyway anyone not enraged at that coffee needs more coffee

The "mix-it-yes elf" aspect is possibly more infuriating to me. No tip!!

uh "yes elf" = "yrself"

what is the metal rod coming out of your thermos lagoon, is that some sort of press?

Looks like coffee to me

ya its a press

drinking coffee at the coffee haus rn btw

Got a pound of Toby's estate and psyched for tomorrow's cof

only had 1 cup of drip coffee with breakfast, feeling lost without my afternoon latte :/

got a bit low on funds so i bought bustelo instead of my usual stumptown. gotta say, not too bad.
