The Coffee Appreciation Thread

[VinylGuy]

my sister got me some cool coffee from the south (she lives there) and so far, its good.

It must not have been in this thread … who was looking at that wood and glass coffee maker? I need to know if you ever got it.

It was me. It’s the Ratio 8, and I LOVE it. It’s basically a pour over/ chemex for lazy people and does all the work for you. And it’s pretty.

Our espresso machine died. Good excuse to go after this bad boy now.

my man …

I never remember to order more Nespresso pods until it’s too late. I wish they were more readily available on shelves.

[VinylGuy]

yeah, i kinda hate i have to go to the store to picked them up. They charge a lot to send them to home, and then in the fucking store everyone is so fucking needy of attention i just bail pretty much every time.

[spike]

Yeah, since they’re only available at like Bloomingdale’s, the counter is always a shit show.

I had auto reorder set up initially, but I just ended up with too many pods.

[VinylGuy]

the guys in the store are super cool but also a little too cool : ¨would you like to taste this new flavor? ¨ ¨would you like this coffe¨ ¨can i recommend you the new fucking pod we have¨

NO

[Chris_H_2]

Maybe you rubes should start drinking real coffee instead of stale, pre-ground stuff in a plastic pod.

[Chris_H_2]

I’m sorry. That was rude.

[Chris_H_2]

I shouldn’t have called you rubes.

[VinylGuy]

For the record, i also have great coffee in the house. I got two machines so i can choose.

[Chris_H_2]

your move spike

[spike]

Yeah I have good beans and make cold brew on occasion.


Have you had Nespresso, Chris? It ain’t Keurig.

[Bammer]

We have a backup Keurig here at home. Gross.

We have a Nespresso at the office, leaps and bounds better than K Cups.

[VinylGuy]

In Argentina we have Nescafe and is the worst shit you can ever buy. I laugh at everyone who offer me one of those as ¨good coffee¨.

They’re serviceable in a pinch.

I just really enjoy the process of making good coffee, almost as much as drinking it. It’s like firing up the egg to smoke a brisket or to reverse sear a good cowboy cut ribeye. It’s almost primal.

[VinylGuy]
