Thread: Coffee Disaster

  1. #1

    Coffee Disaster

    They didn't have any Colombian or Guatemalan coffee in the shop so I took a punt on Kenyan.

    It's crap, but worst of all I fell for the old buy two and get about fifty pee off each one.

    What a mug!

    Is good coffee and bad coffee really *that* different, though? I must confess that provided it has a strong coffee flavor I struggle to distinguish between any of the major coffee places' products. Nero, Starbucks, Costa, the little trendy places - they all taste pretty much the same to me.

    I remember that pretentious, ginger dwarf Harvey (PBUH) assuring me once that Starbucks was terrible and niche, one-off coffee houses were wonderful. I struggled to see the difference and just assumed he was being a tw@t.

    An assumption about IH's twát-housery would rarely be wrong.

    My work coffee is a Guatemalan from Monmouth Street, which is pretty decent. I know the shop you mean - I might give it a go.

    Good or bad is largely a personal preference, of course, rather than some objective, universal Truth.

    But yes, different coffees do taste different. I can't speak for the flavour of the coffees from corporate chain shops because I never go in them.

    You get money off when you provide your own mug, don't you?

    I wasn't buying a cup of coffee, Alberto. I bought two bags for use in my espresso engine, and after the velvet tones of my central American favourites it tastes a little bit like poo. Would you like a bag of Kenyan coffee?

    Not as much like poo as the Chocolate With Poo In that you can buy in the Old Compton Street shoppie though.
