I may have a ruined palate, or maybe I am just so
unsophisticated that I cannot grasp the finest stuff
in life that money can buy. But I just don't get the
sudden coffee worshiping with its accompanying army
of hipsters and high price tags.
Coffee is coffee. It sucks or it is good, but it wakes you
up like any other upper drug. Why do I have to distinguish
between an organic, arabica bean harvested in the
mountains of Nepal from a damn spoon of soluble
Nescafe? And, most importantly, why do I have to pay
7.99 for a stupid cup of black water? And, please, for
the love of heaven: barista? Really? As a career choice?
It is damn coffee, not rocket science!
If places like San Francisco would replace their zillion
nauseating hipster cafés with homeless shelters, their
problem would be solved.
Give me a cup of damn soluble Nescafe any day, for
0.99 a cup, and let's all be happy.
Down with the hipsters and caffeine fashionistas!

You must have a ruined palate.

Not really, FMF is a snob and his thread is taste-centric. This one is more
all-encompassing as it addresses the whole coffee worshipping cult and
its cultural significance.
So, what do you drink?
I saw this dishevelled guy in the street playing an accordion and singing Breakfast in America.
I went up to him and said that's Supertramp.
'Thank you very much he replied, could you give me a a pound to get a cup of coffee?'
So I gave him a quid then followed him to see where you can get a coffee for a pound.
