Has Coffee Gotten Too Fancy?

i made my first iced coffee of the year yesterday, it was very good. if it's above 70 degrees i will make it iced

my hotel for part of my trip last week had a stumptown coffee connected to the lobby

good cof

the millionaire who lives in L.A. says coffee is too fancy xps

My Bonavita brewer died and for half a second I looked at the Ratio Eight then asked myself what the fuck was wrong with me that I was even considering a $600 automated Chemex.

I never gto tha avocado - why would a vegetable that tries to be a ballsack be a butter-like fatty fruit freak that drops onto hot tins roofs, booming sound, only to invest is signature knobby shell in a soft lady finger puking journale way?

michael, is that you?

i am prob going to have to explore non-dairy options for a while

i need something other than half-n-half to put in my cold brew that isn't watery & gross

is almond milk creamer worth trying?

I liked hemp and almond milk with cold brew, the higher the fat, the better.

how about whale milk?

guy

I kno rite

They dont even sell that at whole foods

In fact a 35% – 50% fat concentration is common among many species of whale as the higher fat percentage allows the whales milk to travel through the water without breaking up.

The thick milk is often referred to as having a toothpaste like consistency.

This is very important because in order for the adult female whale to feed her baby she must either shoot the milk into her baby’s mouth through the water or allow the child to suckle the milk from her nipple.

just put sugar in imo

been drinking shots of espresso with coconut milk, p good

I dont think the cocomilk will be thick enough

coconut milk wld be p interesting

i had some weird hipster coffee over the weekend and had crazy aromatics (lavender and some other stuff)

i bought some almond milk creamer & it has coconut cream in it too. it's not bad!
i love milk too much to say it's great...but it's fine.

dairy milk is awful i hate it

I've had a "Cuban" latte involving raw sugar packed with the grounds, and steamed coconut milk. I'm not usually a fan of the latte style but it was pretty darn nice.
Tiny dollop of coconut cream maybe? or regular actual cream instead of whatever abomination Americans mean when they ask "cream or sugar?"

For years I only drank coffee with half and half or espresso with milk foam (ie. cappuccino or macchiato). My brother who works in the coffee business always gave me a hard time about it. I decided to try forgoing the dairy, and it was surprisingly easier than I thought it would be. You do realize how many nuances of the flavor you were missing before.

otm. i feel like sugar and milk are the equivalent of mustard on steak. like it's not bad but if your coffee's good and you've made it fresh why cover up the taste?

This is why I like the macchiato - a tiny dab of foam as an emollient to give a different flavour structure, and the rest of the coffee to express its native flavours. Best of both. The latte, flat white, cappuccino et al. can go to hell. Likewise sugar can alter the flavour balance, something to do with how we perceive taste, but I very rarely use it except to sometimes pack brown sugar in with the ground coffee when firing up the Gaggia, you get a dark caramel thing going on and it changes what flavours come out of the grounds, recommend if you have a home espresso thing.

i am for some reason unable to eat food before 11am so i use milk in coffee to give me a caloric boost

hipster dairy haters itt

kerrygold in coffee isn't bad actually

dutch style

Kerrygold salted or unsalted? I could maybe imagine unsalted...

i love dairy but only rarely in my coffee

I like almond milk fine! It's less creamy than dairy and doesn't add that silky mouth-feel but I actually think the nutty flavor is a better complement to the coffee taste.
