You think overwrought cafe culture/ making something basic expensive is exclusively American? Please. America’s cafe culture (by which I mean the siphon, pour over, house roasted, kopi lewak brewed, exclusively wanktastic) is barely a single swimming semen as compared to Australia’s. I live in one of the world’s most isolated cities and cafés like you’ve described (and worse, and better) line the streets and alleyways. Specialised coffee and the nerds that love it are fucking everywhere. (On the plus side: decent, extracted espresso style coffee is also available – it was near-impossible to find in New York. Maybe less so in other cities).

I am a new coffee drinker and so need mine all diluted with milk and sugar. I know coffee fans think this is blasphemy, but I like an iced latte. Well, Blue Bottle won’t serve me an iced latte. They suggested a new orleans coffee instead. I said that I didn’t really know what that meant, as we’re in New York. I restated my original order and they said they don’t make lattes and that was my only option. It turns out that it’s espresso with condensed milk and it’s good, but WTF? You seriously aren’t going to make me a GD iced latte?

I gave up drinking coffee about 25 years ago.
Too much wanking involved.
Twining’s Earl Grey is my drink of choice since then.
Apart from Pinot Gris, of course.

Oh I love how you say the things that need to be said. I don’t understand the tea thing. I am english and drink brown tea with milk. How/what else are you meant to do with it? Am I missing out on something?

Your last paragraph is so on-the-nose. I never save text for quoting later, but if I did, I’d save that. <3

Weird aside, I know some people who are very particular about their coffee, but they'll take McDonald's coffee over Starbucks any day. Oh, and Dunkin Donuts, too. I hate coffee, though, so they could have bad taste or they're just cheapskates.

A few times when I brought up that I am a tea drinker, people's eyes light up. Boy, are they disappointed when I tell them that I have boxes and boxes of Twinings which I down daily, no sugar or milk (even after trying "fair trade" teas or whatever, I still choose Twinings, but I've been told I have terrible taste more than once). Tea conversation comes to a screeching halt.

What a bunch of cunts! All of 'em!

I’m so glad I’ve given up coffee, expect for the free 2 ounce samples at Trader Joe’s. This pretentiousness (of life) and bourgie-bourgie materialism is like some horror film we are all extras in and there’s no one to call “cut!”

“He won’t let supermarkets sell his coffee”

Spoils the illusion of exclusivity.

I rarely drink coffee, but when I do, there’s nothing like…

Taster’s Choice.

oh sister, honey child, thank you for this. these boobs are taking over my town (oakland, ca) and the gentrification is driving me insane. they move into an area where the long time residents couldn’t afford this crap if they wanted to, and while all their little hipster employees are driving up rents.

i don’t care how *tasty* their coffee is – its fucking coffee, not sex or dinner or anything actually important. its a company built on pretense and affluence….the worst thing to happen to coffee since….starbucks.

cuntalicious.
