    It’s okay, coffee is delicious but silly and slightly pretentious. I’ve just been learning to make espresso lately and it’s… A bit silly and slightly pretentious.

    I’m American, but last time I tried McDonald’s coffee, I couldn’t even drink it, it was so bad. Starbucks is at least consumable, even if watery and burnt.

    The trick I’ve learned in the past couple months is that coffee is actually really sensitive, and so both goes bad quickly AND burns way easier than most people know. Most people are drinking stale, burnt coffee, and think that’s what coffee is, it’s wild.

      Oh see I am a food snob but only about a few specific things. Coffee I am a “if it is coffee I like it” type person. Gas station is good enough.

      That being said, my local coffee shop is amazing I am so lucky
