well, back in the day, that's what they did in Espania (tourist places):
Same machine, same coffee, same amount, just a lot less water, Voila, Espresso....

I think that is what Starbucks does now

 

[Tames D]

Hey Buka...

 

[Xue Sheng]

Hey Tames and Buka

 

[granfire]

never did anything different.
They probably only got one kind of coffee, too....

 

[Steve]

From what I've learned, the difference between espresso and coffee is pressure. That's the way I use the terms, at least.

Starbucks has a crap ton of different beans and roasts. I'm not a huge fan of their drip coffee, but I'm not a hater,either. Shoot, I remember when there were only three or four Starbucks in the world. We used to hit the one on the Ave (seattleites will know what that is.). of course, that was in like 1985.

Made paella for the first time. Turned out pretty good. Better on the grill, I guess. I don't know if it's an authentic recipe, but it was yummy.

We had mozzarella crusted chicken, roasted potatoes and tomatoes. I love Hello Fresh.

I'm certainly not a hater of Starbucks. I used to love their Cafe Breve when I could consume that many calories without concern. I do prefer Caribou Coffee.

For large scale roasters, my favorite is Peet's.

There's a stereotype that folks in WA (especially Seattle) are very coffee-conscious. Is there truth in that?

 

[ks - learning to fly]

looking forward to Superfoot seminar on the 11th!!!

 

[seasoned]

Let us know how that is...

 

[Xue Sheng]

I'm in, would love to here how this one went too.

 

[Xue Sheng]

Back to coffee...as I am having my daily black coffee and dark chocolate

This, IMO, is just wrong

Because it is here

 

[Steve]

There's a stereotype that folks in WA (especially Seattle) are very coffee-conscious. Is there truth in that?

yeah. I'd say its true. But not more than othwe big cities. I think we have a lot if great, smaller roasters in the area along with the big guys like Starbucks.

Some of my favorites are anywhere you can get cafe lladro, cafe vita and Monorial Espresso which I think get their beans from Mukilteo roasters.

There are plenty of people around who don't drink coffwe, though.

 

[Buka]

I'm usually on the roam at work. I get thirty orders of drinks at Starbucks weekly, easy, for folks who are at fixed positions. I don't even know what half of the drinks actually are, all kinds of cool Starbucks names.

One of the gals said the other day - "So if the aliens were to invade, and made all the coffee in the world disappear on a Monday morning..."

I think the difference is it's been going on longer in that area. There's a reason Starbucks was able to proliferate so quickly.

Sounds like you know your coffees. I'm only really acquainted with mine. Truth be told, I'm just using them.

Darn near every cop in the US -- and probably a few other countries -- would repel the invasion. Probably unarmed. They could do a lot before something would happen... but not mess with our coffee!

Judging from our house on days when we delay coffee, those aliens would be facing some seriously grouchy resistance.
