Don’t get me started.Wankers who can’t stomach a good,straight shot of caffeine but want to be trendy are now being catered to with this decaffeinated piss.Enough,already.
I was adding stuff to mine in the dark ages before the automatic drip machineand when there were two ways to get coffee, cook it ( percolator ) or make your own filter and pour through much like the Mellita does today. But I add a few simple things as outlined in the previous post, not all this sugary, artifical, chemical rot like that chain with the ugly green hippie woman on it.
I have been reduced to using the grindes at the grocery.. and I run some beans through before I grind mine.. it makes a mess but dang.. can’t i just have coffee flavored coffee.. today I ran into “Blonde Coffee” (barely roasted)… geeze…
thjat rots. My dear lady, a coffee grinder is all of perhaps twentuy quid, get you one or, so help me, I’ll make this place take up a donation to send you one!
I once asked for a black coffee with milk and the gentleman behind the counter told me he couldn’t do it, I carefully told him I didn’t like my milk heated as it changed the taste of the coffee it took a lot of careful explanation to finally get just a black coffee no milk and no milk on the side, I left without paying or drinking the coffee.
I have a friend I drink coffee with fairly often. My order is simple: Plain latte. I have to say the “plain” part because baristas tend to want to tart them up with cinnamon or cocoa (blasphemy, as far as I’m concerned). When I’m finished ordering, I smirk and suggest they get a pen ready for my friend’s request. “Cafe Misto, half-caff, extra hot, tall and skinny with six pumps of sugar-free vanilla.” WTF?! I don’t even know what that is! So far, though, no deaths have ensued, so I guess it’s potable.

One reason I will never go to Starbucks. I tried just ordering a black coffee and they stared at me like a dog that had just been shown a card trick.

Oh for sure makes perfect sense. I think this ‘trendy’ for the sake of trendiness is ridiculous!

" blonde coffee" … that is a blonde joke, yes? sounds far to much like so – called "white chocolate " that has no chocolat at all in it.
