Damn Australians


Let's not let the Greeks off the hook here. If they wouldn't have started this bullshit democracy business we would all still be roving bands of hunters pillaging whatever villages we happened to stumble upon.

We invented it, it's ours, and it's perfectly within our rights to **** it up the ass like we promptly did.

All the popular coffee types that people are (admittedly) good at making are basically 80% milk, and I HATE milk. Filtered coffee is very rarely available, and if you ask for a long black, most places will make it with steam out of the espresso machine instead of hot water. Which is fkn criminal, if you make the mistake of actually drinking that thing you're going straight to hospital with 3rd degree burns.

So basically if I'm out and I want a coffee I have to sit on top of the barista and give him a brief tutorial on how to not murder me.

Never mind iced coffees in the summer, forget it, they are all 80% milk. Once I gave another brief tutorial to a guy close to work on how to make me a Greek Frappe, he did allright, but in the end without any warning he threw a big scoop of ice cream in there. he kinda thought it went without saying. Straight to rubbish, we started over, eventually he got it right.
Next day I got there all happy and it was another barista, and then another one... :waaa:

You need some Vietnamese coffee in your life for Summer. Springvale isn't that far away from you.

Sometimes I ride my bike that way and I always stop for a nice pho, but never occurred to me to try coffee. Will do :D

So if i walk into a shop and yell "give me your best batch!" you reckon it will work?

Absolutely! Either they'll have it and it'll be exactly what you're after, or your barista will be confused and you can read that as "okay, they're not as hip as they think".

I reckon Viet and Greek dudes have a lot in common, we should tour Vietnam together, you'd love it.

Today I'm enjoying a Burundi cold brew from Vennture in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Milwaukee. The beans are from the Bwayi Washing Station in Matongo, Kayana region of northern Burundi grown at an astonishing 1760 meters above sea level giving it a lemon chocolate and almost cedar like taste. It is a mix of Bourbon, Jackson, and Mibirizi beans.

The only vietnamese guy I've ever met was barely reaching up to my hip (I'm 6'3") and could barely eat any european/mediterranean food. I am also sure we are identical :D

Drip filtered coffee is nice and light and still offers a few varieties and blends and preparation methods to suit everybody, just a question of experimenting until you hit your sweet spot.

Only time I switch over is hot summer days when I make my iced blend.


All I can think when I read "american coffee with blends" is this, sorry :D

Great Big Story shuts down today and I'm sad about it.

It has a pretty big following so I feel like someone should pick it up to fund at least a portion of what they've previously done. I would imagine 6M YT followers and pretty regular 200k+ views should offer a bit of income. But, doesn't always work out that way.

My Sunday Scaries have been out of control this school year (teacher) so far. It's feels like I have an endless list of things to do and I always tell myself I'll sit down on Sunday and try to knock some of it out. And then Sunday comes around and it's like I'm paralyzed from getting anything done. I'm not able to work on anything but I'm also not able to do anything fun either because it's supposed to be work time so I end up just browsing the Internet and watching football the entire day feeling absolutely miserable.

I remember feeling this way as a kid with school and homework and somehow my dumbass went into a career in education. Do you guys in other professions feel this way?

Fk yeah, of course.
My absolute paralysis inducing task is anything to do with paperwork/bureaucracy. I can (and have) postponed for years doing things like applying for my daughter's Greek passport, find and scan my university degree, chase and transfer pension savings withheld from my salary in different countries I've worked in etc.

The other biggie is doctors. I have actually checked a mole 15 years after it appeared
The diagnosis, predictably, was "well dude if you've had it for 15 years and you're still alive it's probably not cancer" LOL
Not going to doctors is probably what I'm gonna die from.

This one goes out to HuRef and any other of the boxing heads out here on this thread. The below, held on Saturday, probably ends up being fight of the year. Anyone with 15 minutes to spare and an appetite for watching gloved humans club each other with no regard for their own safety is advised to view this.

Alright coffee/espresso drinkers, I need some help. I HATE coffee, but have recently started using our Nespresso at home and making some nice Cappricio/other flavored espressos. I usually add a dash of oat milk or something. And I enjoy it.

However, I've now twice ordered the same thing from Starbucks, shot of espresso with a dash of the oat milk, and it comes ice cold. Is that normal? Do I have to order a "hot" espresso? What am I doing wrong?

They are putting cold oat milk in a shot of espresso that probably isn't super hot to begin with.

Coconut milk latte at Starbucks is legit
