French press, black, chugged straight out of the french press There is no sensory joy here only the brutalist cold efficiency of addiction |

Two coffee topics you lucky ducks: First, Vietnamese coffee is liquid cocaine. I don't know if it works like this for most others but for myself and those I've been with the combination of sugar and sky-high caffeine content becomes this sort of giddy forced-speech stimulant. Placebo might be one thing but it had this effect before I ended up curious what was so special about those little sachets with writing I can't decipher which make me feel coked up and before others let me know they feel the same. Second, talking about expensive coffee reminds me of Jamaican Blue Mountain. Not entirely sure but I think I heard there is more sold in some countries as Jamaican Blue Mountain than all actual Jamaican Blue Mountain actually produced in Jamaica during the same period. So it's somewhat rare to have the real thing. But I am a snob and searched out verified sources in this case being two Montreal coffee houses and had a try. It was... mild. Not sure if they brew with too little to save money but the French press service at both places was so mild. Not that it was bad. Smooth and balanced. But like no strong flavours that smack your taste buds into submission. |

Bright Bart posted:Two coffee topics you lucky ducks: I had the same experience with Real Deal Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee, in a French press too. It was so mild. Delicate, if I'm being kind. Watery if km not. It was carefully measured out on a scale and steeped to a timer. I wonder if coffee shops just use way too coarse a grind for French press because people don't like sediment, so you end up with weak coffee water. At home I just use the filter setting on my grinder in a French press and just don't drink the last bit of coffee grit in the cup. But it tastes like something at least. |

Evil Bob posted:That sounds excellent, what do you use to make your espresso at home? we have a Nespresso machine. it's a fancy model. I could get by with one that doesn't do milk stuff but my partner would not appreciate that. one of these days I'll get that stovetop moka I have somehow avoided buying so far |

nut posted:I use a moka pot now after crumbling beneath the pressure of never remembering how much coffee goes in the French press at this point i eyeball it; if i made my coffee too strong, in goes the oat milk, try again tomorrow i don't sleep too good so the coffee tasting good is a plus but not usually required

enjoyed myself a silky smooth cup of black this morning. paired it with critical listens to Britney Spears hits and I can’t exactly tell you why but I listened to “you drive me crazy” 2 minutes of “oops I did it again” and most of “toxic” and boy the aughts really happened folks

I had a cool americano for breakfast, then a bunch of steel mill coffee that tasted like someone ashed in it. it's super effective |

Coffee was treated with the casual disregard of the working drone today. As a car needs fuel to operate, this machine also requires coffee. Did it not bring me pleasure to consume? It did, but alas I did not find myself enraptured as I oft do. Work came at me quickly this morning and the joy of coffee faded in the rear view mirror.

instead of coffee i had a hi-ball sparkling water energy drink today. i normally like sparkling water as it is and those things actually work pretty well. only did it because we're short on labor so it was just me and one other person doing our thing back where we work and we had to hustle.

love that weekend coffee, there’s just something so much more enjoyable when you aren’t counting on the coffee to just wake you up and get you through a few hours of work.
