      On the plus side, that means I never go to Starbucks.

      ^ Haha, that certainly is a plus. 😉

        Coffee is a tool, nothing but a blunt instrument. People who wax lyrical about it should drink more beer.

            I hate coffee.  The smell, the taste, everything about it; I hate everything about it, always have.

            On the plus side, that means I never go to Starbucks.

            that's a popular opinion on all fronts in my book….

                Are you impugning the nectar of the gods- boba tea?  Those are fighting words, fair sir!

                And you guessed right, Seul.  I've had a few good Imperial Stouts, but I'm not really a fan.  Coffee flavor in anything ruins it for me, even beer.

                    Philip K Dick said that his most intense trip was while consuming a metric fuck tonne (MFT) of vitamin C; don't write off coffee.

                      I've attained more transcendence in flavor country than I have in terms of stimulation when it comes to coffee. It's really not a very effective stimulant IMO, too many unpleasant side effects at the levels required to get the job done.

                      Think it, be it.

                              That's actually a gif from a brilliant Belgian show named In de Gloria… Funny!..

                              I hesitate to generalize on such short acquaintance but did you use "brilliant" and "Belgian in the same sentence?

                                The superfluous modern enjoyment of coffee in much of the west is a very "middle class white" (mcw) thing to obsess and gush over, in the same bracket as Coldplay, designer furniture and watching films by Wes Anderson.

                                Personally I'm too much of a low life scum bag with dirt under my fingernails to draw much pleasure from any of that. Beer, footie a game of darts and a fight on Friday night after kicking out time keeps me sweet  😉

                                    Given the popularity of ''third wave'' coffee shops in East Asia, it's not really just a white thing. The Japanese (this will surprise you) take it to new levels of obsession and Hong Kong, Taiwan and Korea are not too far behind.

                                    Likewise, it may be broadly middle-class as an interest but it's actually the cheapest thing cup for cup to be tasting as a way of refining your palate in comparison to craft beer, fine wines or single malts etc.

                                    I speak as a fan of beer, football and darts too. Fighting in Mansfield I will leave to you Mega!

                                        Sugar, I said in the West as I was speaking specifically about the West. In places like Indonesia coffee has a totally different cultural significance.

                                        I have no doubt that Japan and HK have embraced the western approach to coffee enjoyment with the same fervour as they have many other things enjoyed in the west (and vice versa).

                                        No one will ever convince me that paying £5 for a cup of gourmet coffee is reasonable though. Different people, different poisons/ passions.
