Coffee

lol this thread makes me cringe. maybe someone like funk can start a thread extolling the virtues of microbrews?

I believe the term used these days is craft brewery, not microbrewery.

I'm still waiting on you informing us which ethnic cuisines are gimmicks. I'm guessing by your response to this thread that you consider coffee and craft beer to be gimmicks?

So Starbucks is terrible? Additionally, Starbucks is terrible says a dude who has never posted a single thing establishing his coffee bona fides or even clarifying that he drinks coffee at all.

do we have any real coffee drinkers here that can clarify?

My wife likes it but she like the stuff they brew at Mavrick also so it's hard to tell.

You haven't drug Mrs. Funk down to your disgusting drink depths, have you?

I make my own cold brew coffee. Starbucks drip isn't very tasty to me, but whatever people want to drink is fine by me. The things I like at Starbucks have as much fat and sugar as a milkshake.

If Starbucks sucks so badly, what is the key to their phenomenal success and popularity? High prices?

So popularity/success = quality product?

I think you get a better cup of coffee at Maverick than Starbucks. At best, Starbucks is slightly better, but costs twice as much.

Easy Cheese is delicious. You will never convince me otherwise.

Have any of you coffee dudes (or funky dudettes) tried that Japanese method of slow drip? They serve it out of these crazy machines and make you a cup of coffee one drip at a time. I didnt have any but my brother loves the stuff and we spent the better part of several hours traipsing around Tokyo looking for these specialty metallic coffee pourers with ultra thin spouts.

I'm told the local coffee shop Publik has such an apparatus but I've never tried one.

My car was hit recently and it took a couple days to repaint and fix a 2 inch dent.

The insurance company gave me a rental and while waiting for said rental I brewed my first cup of coffee from one of those Keurig machines.

It wasn't half bad, it was a breakfast blend, I didn't add sugar or cream.

Probably never do it again since I felt the HG leave but I slayed that WOW dragon and can move on with my life.

Some only need a cup'a'Joe, others need a weekend of debauchery holed up in a cheap motel 6 on the West Side of O-town!

Some need both.

My wife is hot and not a person on this board would disagree. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Thanks for clearing that up, quarter roll. I'm glad to see you agree on the cold brew. Its so validating for someone of your stature to support me.

Never tried it. I've heard about it, mostly in the context of iced coffee, it seems like? Was he drinking them iced?

Never heard of it but you probably thoroughly bollixed the description. Like that time you mixed up martinis and mojitos. lol

Publik's coffee is ok, but for whatever reason they never make it hot enough, even when I order it extra hot.
