My history teacher always told me that a sign the economy is doing badly is when people can't afford a cup of coffee!

Sorry, but you are an absolute moron. I've never met someone so ridiculous ... you think all coffee tastes the same? Grow some taste buds.oChaos.Haze wrote:
When people don't have a lot of money, they aren't going to buy overpriced superficial items. Coffee is coffee, and the current economic trend is making the pretentious realize that it all tastes the same. I'm kind of happy, as I hate starbucks and all the bullshit they pretend to be.
Any place that sells you a 5 dollar cup of crap, and then pushes a Josh Groban CD on you deserves it's fate.
Yes, I am the absolute moron, because I think all coffee tastes the same. Irony, look it up sometime idiot.kylef wrote:

I understand that. I am saying that all the coffee that MOST people drink come from ONE bean. But they make the mistake in thinking the things put in after the bean change the coffee. They don't. They just hide the shitty taste. Starbucks has so many different flavors, yet they all come from one kind of bean. They even fool you by saying where it was grown. Their latin american beans? Coffee Arabica. Their african beans? Coffee Arabica.chittydog wrote:
You don't need to fight just because oChaos can't taste the difference between different types of coffee. Everyone's tastes are different and some people are more sensitive to some tastes than others. Also, some things, like coffee, require some familiarity to understand the differences. It took me a long time to be able to taste the difference between different types of wine.
oChaos, you're right in saying some coffee tastes better "in opinion", but you're wrong in saying that it doesn't taste different. Different types of beans make different types of coffee regardless of what you add later.

It's actually kinda funny - because most Starbucks in the US have their americano at $1.75. Here in the UK it is £1.75 (equiv. $3.40)
Lol @ the acquired taste advice, I like that. That's how I always felt about beer. Everyone will flame me for this, but I call it the emperor's new clothes. It's so awful, I can't understand how anyone can choke it down.oChaos.Haze wrote:

Some advice I got that was beautiful when I was younger: An Acquired Taste is just you fooling yourself from believing it tastes like shit.
Flame me too. When it comes to drinking I'll never drink beer. Only hard liquor. I'm in for the effect, not the taste. Chitty I like you more everyday.chittydog wrote:

I apologize kylef. It was just a rough morning and when the moronic accusations came out, I sort of flew off the handle. No harm man, you know how forums can be.kylef wrote:
I've been on coffee since I was about 3 and my taste buds are acute to the slightest change, yes. I take different blends regularly and the difference in taste is nothing short of incredible. Although, the best coffee I ever had was at an espresso bar in Spain. Damn, it was good - I've yet to find a taste like it, I wish I asked the bartender which blend he gave me.
