FYI, the attached image above is just for fun. But if you're wondering how I roll, it's single-origin beans from a small independent roaster, ground fresh, and brewed in a French press.

@voltronic

I hit for team cold brew.
But can be loaned out to team pour over.

@corlin @voltronic

team pour over would love to have you

but depending on how lazy i am, i can be found anywhere else, including normal drip lol

(not in a gas station. no. gas station coffee is forbidden. it's like pineapple on pizza.)

@evistre
But as a few of us were discussing in another thread, I would drink gas station coffee before Dunkin, which is possibly the worst coffee ever, on par with Keurig pods.

@corlin

@voltronic @corlin

I'm lucky enough not to have Dunkin nearby, so it falls under "not my problem" hahahah

I trust it's bad tho.

@yogapaddlerun
For sure. These are all great brewing methods.

Keurig being the worst, in addition to being the most wasteful.

@voltronic the cheapest generic stuff for me. I sometimes add some cinnamon to it black.

@voltronic drip is fine for me.
if you drive 70 through columbus, at exit 112 there's a place called five beans.
speedway has varieties.

@voltronic
I use a regular espresso machine. Which team should I join? 🤣

@stueytheround @voltronic
I'm a teamhopper! French press, moka pot, pour over, cold brew, nespresso pods.

I'm an equal opportunity caffeinator.

@Fiikus_goddess
The only one of those I wouldn't touch is Nespresso because I have an aversion to Nestlé as a company. @voltronic

@stueytheround @voltronic
Totally understandable. Unfortunately it is the best option for capsule machines here, and when I have a bad day, coffee is needed but I don't necessarily have the hand ability to safely use anything else.

Disabled beggars, choosers and all that. Same with Amazon.

@stueytheround @voltronic
I think it is more self flagellation 😂. I don't like it either, but they are the only one with recyable capsules and deliver home easily.

Didn't mean to imply you did, sometimes I go into auto-explanatory mode and it comes off too defensive.Sorry Stuey.🫣

Let's have some coffee and enjoy it, eh? ❤️

@voltronic

and a roast that's awfully close to light to be considered medium :/

@vieuxnez
The beans and brew aren't what's in those bags. These are all old pics on my phone from different times. But the ones in the bags indicate light roast. Also, what this roaster calls light is what I consider medium. Either way, it's always fantastic.

@vieuxnez
I used to be one of those people who thought they only liked darker roasts. Then I started getting into single-origin microlot beans, and realized the lighter roasting for many of those (especially from Ethiopia) allows many subtle flavors to shine through that darker roasting would mask.

@voltronic

I still like the dark roast, but I'm considering buying light roast to see if I can get much out of darkening it myself. (and trying it out, as well). For some reason, most of the coffee where I'm at doesn't go below medium roast.

@vieuxnez
Try the roster I use (pictured). Anything in the Special Mug category. You won't be disappointed.

@voltronic

I finally got around to ordering a bunch of coffees from the Happy Mug, dark, light, and some green to try roasting. ...

@voltronic Due to inflation, I’ll be hanging with for 8 o’clock coffee for the foreseeable future.
