I have become something I did not think I would become

Hello, Jeffrey. Get over yourself.

And get your nose out of the air.

 

I like good coffee.  My morning coffee comes from the Speedway gas station - but it is a good roast and brewed on demand.  I will sometimes drink the coffee that others make in the office but they don't always do a good job of it.  I am not a snob but am slightly discriminating.

People that like to drink swill are OK in my book.  Coffee snobs are also OK in my book.

@jsharrwick we are like brothers from different mothers. I too am a coffee snob. I grind my beans every cup I brew using a Chemex pour-over method. Black with no dairy or sugar to detract from the coffee flavor. @maddmaxxis a monster but I can’t blame him, it’s the US Navy that ruined him. He’s still a good guy.

At least he is not Air Force.  Those guys have to have coffee made for them and brought to their bedside each morning by their DI, from what I hear.

I just threw up a little in my mouth.

 

I won't be able to drink any more coffee today.  Thanks a lot.

 

I know the feeling.  Since I already had my one a day allowed Starbucks k cup this morning I had to settle for a cheap k cup for the rare second cup.

I was once a coffee snob. I read every book about coffee and the history of coffee houses. Fascinating stuff.

I once owned a $5k espresso machine and $1k grinder. Now I use a $3 Melitta and call it good. 

Here's to you and your snobbery Jeff!

Just use the first pod a second time.  The results will be the same and save you money!

After more than 40 years of drinking the recycled battery acid they called coffee in truck stops, I am definitely not a coffee snob, but I do have preferences. McDonalds K cups from Costco are good enough for me.

I hate agreeing with Kzoo, but this pretty much sums up how I feel.
