99% of coffee is hot garbage only drunk by people who dump 400 calories of cream and sugar into it to make it palatable.

Tea drinkers know what's up and don't voluntarily consume acidic tasteless swill made from burning beans to a crisp and then boiling them till all flavor has vanished.

The best cup of coffee I've ever had was at a coffee plantation in El Salvador. There's one perfect way to make coffee that will make it 1000x better but the beans have to be good and they have to be made in a french press. Hotplates destroy the flavor compounds and any beans already ground have lost the oils in the beans. Even after buying a bag of beans from the plantation and bringing them back to America and trying to make the coffee the same way I didn't manage to make it taste as good as the cup I got back there.

It is easy to use a french press, grinding beans takes 15 seconds, water boils quickly, but coffee is such a staple drink that the faster way to make it is preferred. Pressing a button and getting hot coffee with little mess other then a disposable cup is want the majority of coffee drinkers want because despite what they say people don't "enjoy" coffee so much as they depend on it.

Man, if you've only ever had good coffee from a French Press, you're missing out. Aeropress, V60, Siphons... there's a whole world of soft brewing methods just waiting to blow your mind.

I don't know why the French press became popular when France is known for having the shittiest coffee. They import from Vietnam a lot and all their beans are the trash Robusta stuff that even Starbucks avoids.

That's because 'French press' is pure marketing. It was invented by an Italian and is called a 'plunger' in Europe, Australia and New Zealand. "French press" was invented to sell it in America.

To be fair, in the UK we call it a cafetière so I assume the French press name came from that.

Ok, I wasn't aware of that. I'm an uncultured Kiwi and I know Irish people who call it a plunger as well so I guess I assumed that was a common name in Europe.


One thing I should add: If you think French coffee is poo poo then come to east Asia. In Japan and Korea (possibly China too), coffee is usually found in cans in vending machines/convenience stores, and Starbucks style coffee is the norm.

How many loving coffees do people drink in a day that the process needs to be streamlined? I drink one at the end of every meal and sometimes not even that. Caffeine is greatly overrated as a stimulant IMO, I once used to have a habit of drinking a cup right before bedtime and I still slept like a rock

Plus, I still have to drink coffee made from a single-serving machine that didn't taste like burned rear end

On another note googling "coffee snob bingo" gets way too many links to Portland yelp reviews and no actual bingo cards.

Or, it does gently caress all in the first place, and the obsession with coffee is magical thinking bordering on cultish. I'm not the one needing literal quick fixes of coffee throughout the day, and the expensive wasteful machine providing them, either

Today i went to Burger King (yeah yeah, get it out of your system) and while there decided to hook up to the wi-fi because my phone shits the bed if it detects it but isn't connected to it. Anyways, when I went to log in, it instead went to a page that tried to run a video ad while a timer counted down with the message "interact with the ad!". However, the video totally hosed up and wouldn't play, but the timer still counted down. I can only imagine what that meant. Once the time was up it had a link that said "I'm done with the ad now..." to click on that felt extra smarmy.

I got linked some video about a game recently that was on some playboy games website, and there was some popup like 'check out these 10 crazy tips for a huge penis / great sex / whatever' and you actually had to click on a link that said "no I want my sex life to stay boring as poo poo and I want women to think I'm lame in the sack" in order to watch the video. Like what the gently caress? That's some aggressive goddamn linking.
