title was a double american slang reference, one can instantly recognize the first, the other one is old, probably heard it in the movie AI.
anyway, let's talk coffee, starbucks is now doing a 7buck coffee.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/28/starbucks-7-dollar-coffee_n_2204805.htmlI've only bought starbucks once, and that was for my wife, i don't drink starbucks, i'm not a coffee snob, but i kinda want to be, but i find coffee houses (at least the first one i went to) too snobby, or at least the owner was a douche.
I did spend 2 weeks in italy recently, had esspresso, cafe latte, cappicino, whatever, everywhere it was all consistently good, i did watch a few youtubes about barista and stuff before my trip so i guess if a guy/girl showed me once or twice how to do it, i'd make something decent, i go through the same process at home.
i use a modified version of good eats true brew, coffee tips.
i do use full beans (8 oclock coffee beans are SURPRISINGLY great, the cheapest and better than other coffees imo, costing twice as much), but i use a burr grinder as opposed to a blade grinder.
i do use filtered water.
but i use an
aeropressmy coffee tastes great and not bitter.
i did say in another thread that i want to try out a full ceramic hand grinder, that'll be a christmas present, but besides just trying out different beans, there isn't much to do really, i'm thinking about either
1. getting a cheap mr coffee espresso maker, but not for coffee, for the frothing wand so i can learn to froth milk or.
2. ger this
milk frother machine for like 60bucks
i do have the cheap little battery operated wand thing but i'm interested in hot froth.
i won't get those single serve machines, i have tried a few of them at other ppls houses and they kinda suck, mostly everyone get's the keurig varient with a flavia thrown in here and there, but the coffee just, ain't great doesn't even matter if they use keurig coffee or "other brands" i've had neuman and starbuck refills, bleh, i don't feel bad talking about my friends coffee's either, i mean it's not like they make it for me lol, it's a one button press.
let's talk about joe.
