Where I work there is coffee. It's folgers. One of my coworkers bought a keurig. He uses it to make... folgers.

Well at least they put effort into drip coffee. The cafés in my neighborhood will gladly spend 5 min. on a giant machine to make a fresh espresso to mix into a gallon of foam and milk but if you ask for a regular cup of coffee they'll just pour from some pot simmering in the back. It doesn't make sense that you would put less effort into coffee that's not mixed with stuff. Assholes.

KozmoNaut posted:Oh no no, that's perfectly sensible. Nothing wrong with paying a little more for quality that'll hopefully last longer. Not to like, be a coffee Hitler or anything, but one of the issues with having your own machine is that you need to appropriately measure the dose and grind of the espresso which is why in some coffee places they spend like, half an hour several times a day spitting out several shots to make sure it doesn't taste like vinegar. Like, there's no point in having your own machine. I wish I had some other content other than coffee Hitler "WELL ACTUALLY" info, but there you go.

I like to make cold brewed coffee at home, I use a bucket, a colander and large paper filters to make it. It's the laziest way to get the most caffeine into my body each morning, and it astounds me that a pint of stumptown costs as much as I spend on my whole week's coffee. Toddy pots are a scam too.

Tea chat- I really miss the tea they would serve in Iraq. Hot, strong, black tea with a ton of sugar. I've tried to replicate it, but I must be missing something, like the dust in the air or the smell of day old smashed assholes or something.

Like, there's no point in having your own machine. I wish I had some other content other than coffee Hitler "WELL ACTUALLY" info, but there you go. You can get some quite good, yet inexpensive espresso machines for home use, that'll hit the required 9 bar pressure. They won't do it every 5 minutes all day every day, but they'll work for your morning Doppio just fine. All you have to do is find an appropriate grind level and learn to tamp the coffee right (which isn't that hard) and presto, good home-made espresso every morning. Is it harder than drip coffee or a French press? Absolutely! But it's not like it requires a $5,000 espresso machine or anything. Me? I'll just stick with my Moka pots, and the delicious dark chocolatey brew they produce (at least with these beans).

Yeah, I was going to say that maybe the specific taste you're missing is the cardamom. I have a Persian friend who lives on black tea with cardamom, and it is truly delicious. Re: coffeechat--I am very sad that I have somehow lost my taste for coffee. I used to drink like 3-4 cups a day. One day a couple of years ago, while I was mildly sick, I made myself a cup of coffee and it tasted disgusting to me. I figured that it was just because I was sick, but lo and behold, I haven't been able to drink coffee since! I pretty much just drink gallons of tea now to get my caffeine fix.

I drink coffee cut about 40% with cream but man oh man does all that garbage looking pulled pork pisses me off. It is such a simple good food but people seemed determined to gently caress it up and it angers me as I can never order it unless I see it first to determine if it looks reasonable. Angry about food!

Strom Cuzewon posted:Chai lattes are an abomination to both Chai drinkers and latte drinkers, right? Should I be ritually drubbing myself with a cardamon plant? When I was in India last year, we got tea from a roadside stand outside the place where we worked, and it was most definitely chai latte and nearly indistinguishable from the "tiger spice" chai latte we get at cafés back here in Denmark. The only real difference was that the Indians serve it in small clay cups that you get to smash afterwards, whereas here you generally get a pint glass of the stuff, and they tend to frown on the smashy-smashy. Cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, ginger and honey, tastes just like Christmas!  I've gotten into the habit of adding a couple of cardamom pods whenever I make otherwise straight black/green tea, it's really good. Rigged Death Trap posted:Only because any big name cafe has the shittiest, most watery overly sweet milk chai. Luckily every single café in Denmark uses the same extremely tasty chai blend, and so far I haven't been unlucky enough to get a lovely watered-down chai latte yet. As for sweetness, they make it rather sweet in India, so I presume that's the right way to do it. KozmoNaut fucked around with this message at 11:11 on Apr 22, 2016 |

I have had ten million cups of the tea in the Middle East and 80% of the time, it's been Lipton's Yellow Label, with mint and sugar. Maybe it's a UAE thing, I dunno. Hope that helps a bit! On topic, that retarded series about Marcel from Top Chef made me angry. Molecular gastronomy is cool, but stupid (and that dude is a tool.)

That is a thing though, you can tell it even with water it's slightly different drinking it out of a big chunky worry-more-about-the-floor-than-the-glass glass than a wine glass.

We drink tons of coffee from disposable plastic cups, and most cafés will serve you coffee to go in a paper cup of some sort, so that makes absolutely no sense  Tiggum posted:Never wash your kettle? You only put water in it, which you then boil, so you probably don't need to wash it, but I can't see what difference it could possibly make to anything if you did. Not an electric kettle or stovetop kettle for boiling water, I'm talking about old-fashioned tea pots* for brewing loose leaf tea directly in. There are all kinds of superstitions about washing those out, apparently the limescale and tea remnants left on the sides add to the flavor or something. * I should have written "pots" instead of "kettles".
