Anyone else notice how a lot of dark roasts nowadays look like medium roasts, and mediums look like light roasts? What's with the whole hipster under roasted coffee trend? :unsure:

Yes, and I hate it. I only buy beans from Italian markets. Italians and the French know how to make coffee. Lavazza or Caffe Vergnano beans FTW. Dark, sweaty beans.

In Santa Cruz there was a roaster called North Coast Coffee, they were the only beans I would buy there. Fucking dammit they were good.

It was really funny, at the Barolo/Barbaresco event on Friday all the Italian winemakers and their entourages were complaining about the state of coffee in America. "Sour" was a word heard most often. "I do not enjoy sour coffee."

How do you not have time to grind beans? You have to wait for hot water, no? Grind while water is heating up...

Wait for hot water?

i use a drip machine for the morning coffee

it’s only if I want a treat I go to the hassle of boiling water and doing French press or percolator

hit snooze when the alarm goes off but get up and go to the kitchen
fill stovetop percolator with water and start boiling ( the thing was my mother-in-laws and probably around 60 years old)
grind beans
go back to sleep for 5 minutes
hit snooze when the alarm goes off but get up and go to the kitchen
put the ground beans in the basket, and into the percolator and turn it down to a simmer
go back to sleep for 7 minutes
hit snooze when the alarm goes off but get up and go to the kitchen
pour a cup of coffee, black, and the rest of the pot into a yeti thermos to keep hot
go back to sleep for 7 minutes
when the alarm goes off, brush teeth
drink perfect tempera fresh coffee

a half hour between starting and drinking
ridiculous

when I lost my sense of taste for a few weeks after covid, i couldn’t be bothered makimg it or drinking it
and, yeah, I didnt miss that ridiculous routine
and when I could taste things again, I decided there’s no good reason to go back to a coffee habit that was such a waste
so, no coffee routine for me
at least for now
i just don’t miss it

That’s way, way more work than a drip machine, and gets at least 3 or 4 things dirty

Dump old filter
Put new filter and new coffee grounds in
Fill carafe
Pour carafe into machine
Enjoy coffee as soon as enough for the first cup has dropped though

easy button

Haha that is the most ridiculous morning routine I’ve ever heard.

I just have my coffee on a timer to be ready at 530am which is around when I need to be out the door. I Get everything set up the night beforehand. Reusable filter so I don’t need to deal with that BS.

I dont know how people can have an alarm go off and then go back to sleep for 5 or 10 minutes. Mostly I am up before my alarm.
