    When I once in a while have specialty coffee at some enthusiast-run place, I find myself not necessarily enjoying a brew looking like weak tea, with taste notes of flowery beef broth cereal or whatever.

    I guess I'm a man of simple tastes, to the point where I just like my coffee to be coffee flavored.

    You do you.

    • Or maybe it's signs I'm getting old and mushroom flavoured coffee is the latest craze.palimpsest
    • And then I went home, made myself a pour over with some higher end medium roast supermarket stuff (Lavazza probably). It tasted great.jagara
    • I don’t want to be entertained. I just want what a casual coffee drinker calls a really good cup of coffee.jagara
    • Also, those weak tea looking brews. What is that.jagara
    • One of my best friends started a coffee business. Went to several Central American countries to meet the farmers and build relations.garbage
    • Built a roasting facility, and I think they have 3 locations now. Won some awards. He is absolutely pissed when I'm all "Yeah, I just want a Red Bull".garbage
    • Hahaha :)jagara
