I'm so dismayed with the state of coffee at McDonald's I'm tempted to sign back up to Twitter just to holler at them. Maybe theyve jumped to threads?
Just got parked because they can't figure out a medium Americano with 2 shots instead of one. One being a bit of a travesty to begin with.
The last one I ordered seemed to have the espresso, cream, and sweetner put in then the water added and was not stired. Dirty water for 80% of the cup. The last 20% was quite nice
All right, fediverse folks. I can't hold this one in any longer. Coming tomorrow to the front page of CoffeeGeek.com, our first take on Hario's latest brewer: the Hario Suiren! It's so new, it's not even for sale yet in North America. We got three variants in, direct from Japan. Tomorrow, you'll find out more about this brewer. But for now, some photos!
What is a good espresso machine to buy in Germany? Something that will last for a long time, doesn't cost arm & leg and doesn't take a huge space on the countertop. What brands are reliable and make good coffee?
No capsule machines nor full-automatic ones.
How come nobody's talking about how stale normal coffee is compared to the freshly roasted product?
Like just wow, every time I roast some green beans my whole house smells like I've been baking some kind of delicious confectionery 🤤 it legit smells sweet and like baked grains and like there's other ingredients, a fruit or something? it's a huge contrast compared to how pre-roasted coffee smells, it loses this smell (and flavor) within a few days after roasting, even when vacuumsealed.
When I took this photo back in 2016, it was a combination coffee/Chinese food restaurant: they sold coffee in the mornings and Chinese food for lunch and dinner. The owner had previously run a separate coffee shop (The Bean Counter, IIRC) in the same shopping center, then combined the two businesses to save on rent. It was one of our go-to Chinese takeout sources, and I’d sometimes grab coffee in the mornings if I was in the area or on my way somewhere in that direction.
The old coffee location sat vacant for a few years until a bakery (with coffee on the side) moved in. Amusingly, the bakery — with is still there today — also chose a pun-based name: Redondough (as in Redondo Beach).
In early 2020 — and I mean early, either January or February — they were offered a really nice buyout price by someone who wanted to turn-key convert it overnight to a Hawaiian restaurant. I imagine when mid-March rolled around and the initial Covid lockdown started, they were extremely relieved to have accepted it!
I never did get around to trying the Hawaiian place, even for takeout. Eventually it was taken over by a Hawaiian-style fast food chain.
