xps to marcos I've done the red eye thing before, it can be good times--especially at places where the drip is in front of the counter, so I can stare into the beautiful color spectra formed by the tiny volume of espresso+crema dispersing in the flow of coffee (don't fill it all the way obv unless you are a clown w/ no taste)

these days I mostly have coffee at places with free refills, or tea at home; but then sometimes I'll order a shot of espresso and down it in a hurry, just to feel more important idk

Although sometimes if I'm really really tired and I really really need to get something done, I'll do 1/2 and 1/2 decaf and regular. Anything more than that and I'm flirting with a full blown anxiety attach.― about a dozen duck supporters (carl agatha), Thursday, February 5, 2015 10:52 AM (1 year ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

I have switched down to half-decaf in the past few weeks. I've become more caffeine-sensitive. I used to be able to drink coffee any time of day and sleep fine at night. Then a year or two ago I started to realize that having anything past noon would jack me up at night. And now here I am with just the half-caff thing in the morning. And on days when I don't get coffee at all, I haven't been getting withdrawal symptoms.

A coworker was intrigued by the French press I use in the office (I’m not remotely a coffee snob but our office coffee is really bad) so he picked one up when he was at Ikea last weekend. He wasn’t completely satisfied with the results from it so we were talking technique but it was a very confusing conversation; it was like we were talking about two completely different methods of brewing coffee. Finally he was like ok show me step by step how you make a cup of coffee. I pull out the French press, pull out the plunger, and as I’m demonstrating I can see I’m blowing his mind.
It turns out he was pouring hot water into an empty pot, putting the plunger in a couple of inches, piling coffee grounds on top of the plunger, and lowering it into the water, removing it when he was ready to pour.
“Didn’t the coffee grounds make a big mess when you took the plunger out?” I asked? “A little bit,” he said. “It’s not too bad if you’re careful.”

tbf probably some coffee shop is going to be using a french press that way and claiming they invented it sometime by 2020

Tim Horton's coffee is the worst. Emergency-only nighttime-driving coffee. I don't understand how people purposely make it a part of their morning routine. my bf worked at one on the east coast when he was a teen and the drive thru was lined up to the street every morning.
That French press story on the other hand is excellent.

I don't really like Aeropress coffee, it's too much like a regular cup of coffee. I pretty much just drink double espressos or cold brew concentrate without watering it down.
The other problem with Nespresso in the US is that you have to mail order capsules (unless you have a Nespresso shop nearby, the closest to me is ~45 minutes), so if you run out without replenishing you're just SOL.
― Kiarostami bag (milo z), Friday, 26 February 2016 20:01 (eight years ago) link
ya but even when you make it acc to the official directions (like only a few tablespoons of water per scoop of coffee)?
― police patrol felt the smell of smoke and found that goat burns (Stevie D(eux)), Friday, 26 February 2016 20:04 (eight years ago) link
Pretty sure I never tried anything but their basic directions and it was still too 'cup of coffee'-like for me.
At home I have a Crossland CC1 machine that's pretty good but fiddlier than I like and occasionally get wonky with the electronics (forgets settings, etc.), thinking of selling it and getting a lever machine.

Some people are putting in coffee bars at comic shops, which is interesting but I'm extremely slow at making espresso for myself at home, can't imagine trying to do it for real or training others.

lolol one of those just opened near my coworker and he says it suuuuuucks, like decent comics but the coffee is a total afterthought
