they should replace coffee with coke
The guy takes literally ten minutes to make each cup of coffee, explaining all the processes involved at each step
Could be, looked something like some of those."Was it a siphon set-up?"
So, what does it do? What's the advantage? If it takes so long and is worse than filter then what's the advantage? Is it cheaper?"I have been using a thriftstore-find syphon system for a month or two. It's fun: the quality, at its best, is just short of a really good filter coffee."
Has coffee gone out of fashion or something? A lot of people seem to be giving it up and saying its bad for you. And yes I do need to ask.
Is this behind the sudden appearance of the 'babychino', whatever the fuck that is exactly?
"There are few things I care about less than coffee. I have two big cups every morning: light and sweet, preferably in cardboard cup. Any bodega will do. I don’t want to wait for my coffee. I don’t want some man-bun, Mumford and Son motherfucker to get it for me. I like good coffee but I don’t want to wait for it, and I don’t want it with the cast of Friends. It’s a beverage; it’s not a lifestyle."
There's an interesting tension you get where you want something to be really good and to be made with care and attention but also to be accessible and unpretentious, and in practice a lot of the time you have to end up choosing places that do one of those things and hoping that the availability of the other will improve over time. But one default reaction - as above - is to moan about how awful and pretentious the places that do "good" are.
Relates to coffee (in the UK and the US), also to beer (in the UK), often to food as well.
