Coffee and Pineapples?

I love coffee
and crisps -
Different strokes... divided by price:
I think Pret 99p coffee tastes shit, but it still fills a function and I'd rather pay them 99p for a shit brew than pay starfucks 2.70 for a marginally better one.
Or actual preference: i.e When you get to actually nice coffee-for example Artisan Roast or Dear Green-people geek out on the really light, fruity flavours that I think are rank but seem to be popular for being weird or atypical. I like pretty unfancy dark, mocha richness and I'll only buy one blend from AR that fits the bill. Every time I go they always try to get me to buy a bag of something else tho-gets quite annoying as if you don't know what your tastebuds appreciate.
Definitely wouldn't give any of these cunts a working visa off the back of their latte art skillz tho

Yeah coffee is actually a pretty mental rabbit hole once you get into it, same as all the other fields you mentioned. There's a huge variety of flavours to be found in different origins of bean, different brew methods, different ways of pulling an espresso shot. The current methodical approach is quite young so new shit is always being discovered and experimented with, like the effects of water mineral content on coffee flavour, the fact that you can pull stupidly long shots if you grind using an EK43, and using vaccum-packed pre-dosed shots straight from the freezer. I've been working as a barista for a few years as a side thing and it's a shame there's so little money in it because it's pretty interesting once you get into it.

Why is it with things like beer you can like IPAs or sours or whatever, with wine you can like dry wines or sweeter wines, even with tea, you can be into green, rooibos or earl grey and people just accept that you might like something they might not but with coffee it seems like this isn't the case, it's mostly just people saying how shit one coffee or another is. Does anyone actually like coffee?
