    I find if I have a good nights sleep, I don't need coffee [face_dunno]

    JoinTheSchwarz, I have heard American coffee is perhaps the worst in the world. The phrases "brown water" and "I'm not sure what the hell it was, but it most certainly was not coffee" have been used to describe it.

    Can you comment?

    I've heard that too, Ender.

    I'm curious about Schwarz's answer

    I heard they wreaked Tim Hortons coffee over there, is that true?

    Depends. Is it supposed to taste like goat piss?

    Yeah, so, I'm not really sure Tim Horton's is an example of a coffee lover's drink either.

    I drink American coffee every day and somehow I manage to enjoy it. According to the bigoted, anti-American viewpoint which weirdly goes unchallenged on this site, that means I have poor taste. :rolleyes:

    Sure, but Americans drink Bud and stuff and don't know any better.

    If you go to New York, Australians - who are coffee nazis, sadly (it's quite sad how rabid we've become) have installed themselves in a few cafes where baristas aren't just pissing into a cup for you.

    You should try it, once you have a proper coffee Hobocode Wilwheaton you will realise how bad you've had it. With your stupid big cups and "cream".

    Also "American coffee is crap" is a pretty common assertion amongst aficionados, if only because we invented the goddamn stovetop percolator.

    no it's not [face_not_talking]

    They used to have good coffee :(

    My sister had some in Detroit shortly after they took over and all she could say was they wreaked it :(

    It's just... it's like drinking cask wine when a perfectly good 2002 Penfolds Grange exists. Just because you can have your drip coffee doesn't mean you necessarily should.

    Hah, I wish the nadir was drip. You, sir, are not familiar with the singular unique hell of Maxwell Instant.

    I drink "Bud and stuff" for its light maltiness and refreshing quality. I drink heavier, headier beers -- including Scottish ale and various IPAs -- when I want more flavor or a richer sensory experience. IOW, I do know better and I make choices based on that knowledge. It's bigotry and xenophobia to proclaim one's own cultural preferences as superior to another's. It's also tiresome to read you rant about it in post after post.

    That's fine, in many important areas such as pizza, (SOME) wines and craft beers, Americans are rejecting the notion that living in the land with the Most Freedom™ per square kilometre (or Biblically approved geometric radius mile) means you have to drink various flavours of piss. For some reason a terrible, but very large cup, has become the staple in coffee. But, tenacious convicts are invading in the City of Obtuse Angles, and New York, to start a revolution in which drip coffee and its adherents, like Hownowbrowncow Whosonfirst, are rightly looked down upon.

    The Portugese word camponês best describes the people who would reject the espresso in favour of the Starbuck's pumpkin spiced hobo semen and horse urine in the 18 litre cup.

    I'd like to know where a good cappuccino ranks on the scale of espresso to pumpkin spiced latté.

    I had an instant Nescafé once, thinking it'd be good when I was out of the house all day and didn't want to pay astronomical amounts for watery, disgusting coffee.
    Worst decision of my life, right there. It tasted like I was drinking burnt toast that had been left out for a week.

    I'm not sure pumpkin spiced lattes are actually a thing in the real world.

    Though, there's a device put out by those fence sitters at Nestle, which is essentially a pod-coffee based espresso machine. Being frightfully clever, they called it Nespresso - a clever portmanteau of Nestle and espresso. Clever!

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nespresso

    It's endorsed by George Clooney, which you know means it's quality since George Clooney's name has never appeared linked to anything terrible like The Peacemaker or Batman and Robin.

    In any event, it actually does damned good coffee... at home!
