A programmer is just a tool which converts caffeine into code
sometimes someone just wants a bog standard chain coffee.
GET OVER YOURSELVES.
...and wtf is up with the K cups and other similar products?
I can't stand the taste of coffee, so I drink energy drinks for my morning wake-up-drag-out-zombie-corpse every morning.
Yes, I like the taste as well. Tastes like sour apples!...and victory!
Hello? Oh, hello! I'm sorry it's a very bad line. No, no no... but that's not possible, she was sealed in to the Seventh Obelisk after the prayer meeting. Well, no, I get that it's important... an Egyptian Goddess loose on the Orient Express. In Space. Give us a mo....
... don't worry about a thing, your Majesty; we're on our way.
Real coffee is not served in cups that hold more than 1dl of liquid. At best, Starbucks is an approximation of coffee, vandalizing the same basic ingredients to frankenstein together something apparently more suitable to the US palate. On my visit to the US back in 2000 (woah, that long?) I had the misfortune of tasting this beverage and I would not like to repeat it, or wish it upon anyone else.

Burn me!
Anyway, could we stop this OT discussion? If there is a need for a deathmatch between coffee-purists and coffee-hipsters we could create a thread for it.
lolcoffeeingeneral
would trade the legality of coffee for that of weed
Eww coffee... but at least Starbucks has nice hot chocolates.

Coffee is a terrible drink. Have some tea.
I don't like Starbucks Coffee for a couple reasons.
The First one is whatever coffee purist movement that turned roasting the beans into "CHARGRILL THOSE MOTHERFUCKERS, IT AIN'T COFFEE TILL I TASTE ASH!"
Now, as an avid coffee drinker with a history of being both a coffee gourmet, and gourmand... I can tell you that this is a fairly new trend, and that if you drink your coffee like normal people, this type of "LEVEL 9000" roast makes the coffee taste like shit. It's a harder roast than espresso.
The second issue I have with all this bullshit is that those same coffee purists will sit there and order up a drink that really isn't coffee. "I'll have a caramel apple skim latte mocha whip with a double shot of whatever ashbin coffee dust you have lying around, and a cinnamon top."...
Those people need to do one of two things: 1. Go visit an ice cream shop and get your daily dose of diabetes. 2. Just die.
Used to be, I could walk into a cafe and order a coffee. Now, I have to order a "CAFE AMERICANO GRANDE". That usually generates looks from the "Don't place near a magnetic field" pierced up retarded-assed college student who can't wait to try their new haiku out on the poor masses during the poetry reading later on. A look somewhere between "Holy shit, a dinosaur, I'll have to write a poem about this", and "Ugh, this person has no taste whatsoever." Fuck them, and their ilk, the Flower-Tatoo Mafia.
Now, if you didn't get it already, I like coffee. I use a french press for it at home, but not out of any purist movement; I've got a fairly nice hot water kettle, and I'm in too much of a god damned hurry on any given sunday to wait for the filter coffee. So, I make it with a miniature french press. Just one giant mug/or travel mug, and I'm off.
For some reason, this is perfectly acceptable in some parts of society, where giant containers of the stuff sit in their stainless steel cocoon waiting to deliver approximately 100mg of caffeine per 8 fl. ounces to customers. In other parts of society, this sort of caveman-method of coffee storage and dispersal is like committing the highest form of treason. In my opinion, the only people who have a right to be snobbish about coffee are the Europeans, because they more or less made modern coffee, and coffee houses what they are, invented different ways to do it, got the motherfucking pope to buy off on it when it was considered a "demon drink", and formed/planned several popular revolutions out of coffee houses. Everyone else? Well, lets just say that if you want to be a fucking snob about coffee, you shouldn't get that right until you and your buddies start formulating a plan that involves guillotines, and throwing shoes into gears to stop factories.
I will say one thing about the coffee movement. It's given me even more opportunities to offend people, and that's always a good thing.
One thing I love doing is going into a coffee house with it's froo-froo shit all over the place, and its stupid fucking "cranberry, cilantro, & provolone wrap" finger food (serious, why is it hard to get a god damned bacon and egg sandwich to go with the coffee?) plays out like this...
Waitress "Welcome to shitstar, what can I get you?"
Me "I'll have a large filter coffee to go"
Waitress <Confused look> "A what?"
Me "Oh, sorry, a GRANDE CAFE AMERICANO... in whatever term this place uses to mean TAKE AWAY."
Waitress "Do you want anything in it?"
Me "No"
Waitress "Would you like milk?"
Me "No"
Waitress "Do you want any sweeteners?"
Me "Nope, <loudly so the other patrons can hear> I Like my coffee how I like my wimmin!"
Me <again, loudly, waiting just enough> "BITTER"
I usually don't tip the staff in those places. They should move on and find more productive work than inventing new names for what really is an ice cream sundae with a shot of espresso.
thank you for deducting reputation from this sperger.
Coffee is awesome. The worst thing about starbucks? the price! two large lattes from starbucks costs as much as a weeks worth of beans for my machine at home.
