I tried a cold brew at Dunkin' a couple years ago. Nope, nope, nope, never again. Coffee is meant to be served hot.

It's just cheap and gross. Most of the staff refuses to drink it and we bring buckets of Folgers instead.

Have you seen some people here post about food? 

 

It's like I say I'm not a beer snob. I drink stuff like Michelob Ultra, but I dislike the really terrible stuff like Nattie Lite. But I still get mocked for that by the actual snobs.

Iced / Cold Brew isn't the equivalent of Natty Light. No one will defend Natty Light.

I didn't say it was. 

 

Obviously my comment about people who like cold brew belong in Hell is hyperbole(remember that word?) 

I just don't care for it. It's a personal preference. Hardly snobbish. 

 

Also, my dad drinks Nattie. He'd defend it to the death.

1)  Folgers barely counts as coffee

2)  Coffee typically doesn't come ground in foil packs

3)  If you're drinking "drip" coffee, you're getting a sub-par experience

4)  I drink the coffee at work from the "syrup" because it's free.  But I recognize that it sucks

2) Agreed.  Fuck those hotel coffee

3) Depends.  I make drip coffee via pour over carafes.  French press is annoying to clean up after though.

4) I'm sorry for your shitty mornings.

A snob argues with his barista on how hard she tamps the grounds, or that they want coffee beans from Ethipoia rather than Ecuador.

 

A rational fucking person (like most of the world) recognizes that weak-ass drip coffe sucks -- particularly if it comes pre-ground in a foil bag or in "instant form".

LOL where the fuck am I going to get an espresso machine that's affordable

 

As far as instant... it's one of those I just need to get caffeine asap because I'm cheap and don't want to buy coffee outside.  Of course it fucking tastes like sour piss.

Obviously there are different levels of snobbery, but dude, most people drink drip coffee.

[Joe]

It's also not true. Drip coffee is fine if the beans are worth a damn.

 

I'm a HUGE coffee snob, but outside of major cities, third wave hasnt really gone mainstream yet. I will still drink shitty coffee all the time because I need my fucking fix.

[CastlevaniaNut18]

I'd definitely like to try some of this fancy coffee you speak of. I'll definitely keep that in mind when I finally visit NYC. 

 

But drip coffee is fine for the most part. I don't care to go through the effort to get my fix on a regular basis.

Proper cold brew is nothing like Dunkin' cold brew. I've had both so I can tell you Dunkin' cold brew is basically just iced coffee. A real cold brew is going to be so naturally sweet and smooth you will be blown away. Biggest downside is that it has SO MUCH caffeine.

Fixed.

U still a snob, bro. It's cool, just own it.

[Joe]

Drip coffee is fine if the beans are fresh, lightly roasted, and ground to order.

If you are ever near Port Authority, I personally like going to Corvo Coffee.  Affordable price for what it offers, with the cost/taste ratio being relatively good.  It's on 9th Ave at the rear entrance/exit, next to 2 Bros Pizza

 

I should explore more around Manhattan for places to try out.  I normally don't venue out in the city for new things due to money, time, and general indecisiveness.

Agreed.  I wouldn't be surprised people are paying for iced coffee for that novelty.  Cold brew normally requires at least 24 hours to steep to draw out the maximum taste.

And yep, like cold brew, the beans DO matter.  Speaking of which, how do you all brew your coffees?  I use this.

That said, I need to buy more bustelo.

 

[CastlevaniaNut18]

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. 

 

 

That said, I think I'm gonna get a pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks tomorrow, just to drive some of you crazy.

[Joe]

I get caramel macchiato all the time. It's not really coffee, but its yummy lol.

I never said the occasional frappacino/treat was bad

[CastlevaniaNut18]

I only go to Starbucks once in a great while. I'll get either the PSL, caramel machiatto, or vanilla latte with coconut milk.

Well she does them when she visits there and it saves on shipping.

I use an Aeropress, but I'm also usually using really cheap coffee because I'm cheap, so it's not quite the quality experience it could be.

BJs or Costco have solid coffee for very cheap. It's not mind-blowing and there's no roast date, but still very decent.

Yeah I have been noticing a bit of edginess lately but I assumed it was due to my increasing workload with the university.  I guess it's time to cut back a bit. 

[CastlevaniaNut18]

I got my Bones coffee in today. Gonna try the Smore-y Time first.

[darkness35]

Saw this on sale via Slickdeals.  Ordered a bag to see what's the hype with this brand.
