That’s what I thought too—that or the anarchy A. Maybe both

Not hipstery at all, but I found some Hawaiian coffee at London Drugs that was nice. Grabbed the medium roast and the vanilla-macadamia flavored one. I liked layering them in with my regular coffee for some of that nice acidic brightness that Hawaiian coffee has. Last time I bought the vanilla-macadamia one it the packaging had changed just slightly and the coffee inside didn't taste like yummy Hawaiian coffee -- it just tastes like generic flavored coffee (ie: dry and not very coffee-like). Is a very sads.

I’m on day 11 of a coffee advent calendar and today’s is definitely the most unusual and fascinating so far, from a Bromont roaster called Julius.

While the rest so far (and coffees I get in general) are identified as either “washed” (coffee cherry removed before drying) or some variant of “natural” (coffee cherry left on until dried, imparting fruitier flavours), this one’s “anaerobic”. The beans are fermented in sealed containers without oxygen, from what I gather in kind of a mush of the coffee cherry fruit. These ones are from Costa Rica, which apparently is mainly where this process is being used.

It almost smells… spiced?? And tastes like that too? It’s definitely fruitier like a natural processed bean, but there is something very distinct about it, and I could tell it was different from the moment I opened the bag and smelled the beans. Highly interesting!

Just noticed the tasting notes for this coffee are “apple pie, cinnamon, cloves”. Sometimes I find these tasting notes rather fanciful, but cinnamon and cloves is dead on here.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Sat Dec 11, 2021 10:29 pm

Is that because it has cinnamon and cloves?

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Sat Dec 11, 2021 10:55 pm

No! Blech.

No, it’s just flavours that arise from the fermentation process. But shockingly cinnamon-and-clove-ish ones in this case.

Holy shit the title and OP have me screaming in laughter

Golbez’s original screed is quite good.

I like how this thread is now about coffee 11 year's later

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Sun Dec 12, 2021 3:09 pm

That's Fei's fault. Not even incidentally. It was a very deliberate page 1 canon corrupting action.

I got some Starbucks instant cappuccino from a discount shop and it’s honestly the worst thing I’ve drank in a while.

Unfortunately tea has also become the face of capitalism with all of those NF teas I keep reading about

National Front tea

I'm having coffee right now. It's delicious and I made it on my espresso machine.

I had some good Ethiopian coffee this morning for advent calendar #13. I find Ethiopian beans quite reliably good.

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Mon Dec 13, 2021 4:18 pm

Ethiopian's sure know their coffee, but their passion for coffee aren't neoliberalism enough for this thread

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Mon Dec 13, 2021 6:38 pm

I also like Ethiopian cuisine.

Consumables from Ethiopia: fine by me!

We got a $5 starbucks gift card from our department director for putting up with all the staffing shortages that they could easily fix but don't want to.

I feel that that embodies a lot that's wrong with this department. I got a cheap gift card for something I can't even use.

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Fri Feb 04, 2022 10:15 pm

Lmao $5, that’s probably the average cost of one large beverage at Starbucks.

Vibing_V · Post by **Vibing_V** » Sat Feb 05, 2022 10:31 pm

I don't even think $5 will cover a grande latte here. I guess for USD it might just.

My nephew is in scouts and a few times a year they do a coffee fundraiser (smart!) and my brother knows I like the Jingle Java Espresso so he got me some.

Yum yum fundraising coffee!

Been making coffee with this magical ceramic no-paper-filter no-visible-holes-but-water-runs-through looks-like-Mount-Fuji cone.

It makes good coffee!

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Wed Aug 24, 2022 3:32 pm

Are they reusable?

edit: oh ceramic! where too buy

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Wed Aug 24, 2022 3:50 pm

To fancy filter
