Gotcha, I'm pretty serious about my coffee and love cold brew. Also never understood why people think they like burnt beans but whatever. I do love my Aeropress though! Gotta be the next best thing besides cold brew! Only $30 for espresso style press. I did find a fella that was a mega connoisseur talking about how the coffee trees are grown very unnaturally (of course) with pesticides and mildew...but also how like all food, the extra GOOD stuff dies within a week of being harvested no matter what space aged packaging it has. I'll have to look him up...Ted talk maybe?
they "love" it because it's basically a candy bar by the time they drink it.
if i can't drink it straight black im not touching it
^ they're the same people who wear masks for their "health"?
LOL. Truth. Used to manage a Starbucks 13 years ago. Always had the diversity hires and has become a cesspool more so since. Coffee is garbage and overpriced. Buy a $700 espresso machine and make your own.
I think you've hit the nail on the head here, I've been so confused about why people love Starbucks coffee (and also Tim Horton's coffee here in Canada) when they taste so disgusting. Probably because I only drink my coffee black, and they drink it with 3 creams and three sugars. Anything will taste better if you add enough stuff to it.
I'm a tea drinker & never liked or really drank coffee, except for one brand of beans made in Italy that actually wasn't half bad because it wasn't overtly bitter & had some floral notes...
But maybe I've just never had good coffee.
I can't tell if it's that or if it's because my tongue is overly sensitive to the bitter elements found in coffee beans. I'm apparently a super taster, which means I can taste bitterness that other people can't. So maybe that's why I am still not overly fond of even the "good" coffees. I can't even enjoy mocha or coffee flavored smoothies or ice creams. Even if it's just a tiny bit of coffee flavor, it ruins it all for me because the bitterness of coffee just overpowers every other flavor for whatever reason.
So I'd rather have a plain tea over even the sugariest coffee candy drink because the bitterness is a different kind/smoother & the other flavors are stronger & able to show through.
Aero Press here since 2010.....
Dang man!..yer an OG!!??
?
Hey, another Aeropress enthusiast! Been using mine for 7-8 years and never went back to other brewing methods. I've made several people try it and they all agree it's the best coffee, but they always go back to using coffeemakers because "it's easier and it's less work", which is nonsense - Aeropress is actually quicker and easier to use IMO. For best results use a good conical burr grinder and set your kettle to 175 F.
I can also confirm that organic coffee is much better tasting AND better for you. A few years back I'd been feeling increasingly tired and sick after my cup of coffee, I switched to organic and now I can drink as much as I want without feeling ill. I get mine from a small local coffee roaster, but if there isn't one near you I'm sure you can find small organic roasters online too.
Agreed! It's ridiculously simple, and you SEE all the working parts (no nasty lines to clean) or low grade plastic to leach into the coffee. I do warn people on their first press, don't let anything surprise ya!..it's almost like real drugs!!? Had a few funny reactions...
Yep, I just don't understand how anyone can go back to any other brewing method after trying an Aeropress cup. The flavors are astonishing, lately I've been using locally-roasted organic beans and I swear, even black it tastes like a cup of liquid chocolate, it's insane! In a standard coffeemaker all the oils and flavors would be destroyed.
Naw, neither of those are a turn on...leggings attached to libs is unappealing...and FUCK McDonald's!??
