I hate coffee

That's the4 coffee

I hate not having coffee.

And having no coffee brain.

@_#

i'm about to have some coffee :)

I bought some Illy pre-ground today, and it's not bad! dark roast but it's got some nice low-end acidic punch so it doesn't taste too muddy.

eager to get my new sock brewer, though

here u go http://product.images.starstruck.com/61-03/61-03318-F.jpg

drinking coffee right now!

should I get a really good espresso machine y/n?

I think I know how Mr. Que will respond :(

I need to get one extra counter space.

i boil water for coffee on the stove, btw

quincie, try something like the Aeropress first, and then ask yourself if you really need a fancy espresso machine!

just get one

double tall soy latte, you are a fucking treat.

hmm dont know baout soy + espresso

nagt

also lolz at alot of places where ppl ask for a 'skinny latte' or 'skinny' whatevs and the baristas jus use full cream milk.

~omg it's so creamy for skim milk!~

I NEED SOME OF THIS STAT. omg.

my boss had free samples of Starbucks VIA™ Ready Brew

ass water

It was that bad? I was sort of tempted.

why is it that some espresso is totally amazing while the vast majority is totally meh?

I mean I'm just surprised there isn't a higher minimal standard, or something.

guys srsly soy latte is not bad at all! it's cause they use the soy milk w/ sugar in it i think.

there are so many factors quincie!

i get super angry if my flat white is too hot

or if it's foamy as opposed to creamy >:(

yeah the #1 cause of bad milk & coffee drinks is improperly foamed milk

the guy at the coffee shop I go to has been trying to teach me how to get that microtexture, it's difficult...he OTOH could probably do it blindfolded, as he says it's based on the sound of the steam wand thingy

intersting. i note the noobz that work gloria jeans and shit hav a thermometer in the milk

i just remembered how awesome affogatos are!!

i wish i could have coffee at 9 pm!

i hate harbl for her hating bacon but liking coffee

thought i would put that out

xpost tell me about it, my cutoff is 2:00-ish or I won't sleep until 6:00am. I think I need to cut back majorly cuz I've come to rely on the caffeine for basic brain function. But I <3 it so!

preground coffee goes to shit so quickly :^(

i started keeping it in a airtight container but it still kinda sux. need to buy a grinder

Does keeping it in the freezer help? I thought that was pretty standard, freezing coffee -- either ground or whole bean.

Somewhere I read about about perfectly foamed milk being "the consistency of household paint" which is 100% OTM and is not the case 99.89% of the time.

DON'T put it in the freezer unless you're only going to take it out once and keep it out

the moisture from condensation + re-freezing will make it gross

we keep ours in the freezer--no complaints here

but store-grinding a pound and keeping it in air-tight container is fine if you use it up fast enough imo? maybe u guys are too slow
xpost you keep it in the freezer every day? i'm skeptical of u.

yeah Mr. Que's coffee (made with WF Pleasant Morning Buzz ground-at-the-store beans) is my favorite coffee.

whatever harbl

i got you liking coffee now--and this is the thanks i get

and yes it goes back into the freezer every time

we buy one (usually pre ground) container a week, use it up in a week. keep it in the freezer.

i liked coffee before. you can't take the credit anyway.

Freezing Coffee - Not as Good as an Iced Mocha
Some people store their coffee in the freezer thinking it is going to keep the coffee fresh. Here are a couple of reasons why storing coffee in your freezer is a bad idea:

* Coffee is porous. This is a good thing for fans of flavored coffee as the beans absorb the coffee flavoring syrups and oils that are used to make flavored coffee. However, if given the chance, coffee can also absorb other things like the flavor of seafood or the moisture that your freezer produces. This moisture will in turn deteriorate the coffee and even make it taste like, well... like a freezer.
* When coffee is roasted, the beans release their oils and essences to give the coffee its distinct flavor. You'll notice these oils are more prominent on dark-roasted coffee and espresso. When you break down these oils by freezing, you are removing the flavor.

Think about it...if coffee tasted better and fresher from the freezer, then you would buy it in the frozen food section, your local coffee shop might look more like an ice cream parlor, and our power bills would be through the roof trying to maintain a meat-locker the size of a warehouse.

i think i hate it now
