It's finally happening. I don't know why I thought it was natural, certainly wasn't. But I liked feeling like I was 'older' and 'grizzled.'
But for a while now I've been exclusively drinking fast food coffee. Particularly Mcdonald's but I enjoyed trying other places. I liked the convenience, never having to leave my car, and the simpleness of the taste. Basically, hot blackened water in a paper cup. What else can you ask for, right? All it needed was a cigarette and you were just another Jefe having a relaxing moment.
I think I was just using it to justify my fast food habit, because I had to kick that out of my life too. But today I had chick fil A, and ordered their coffee with my tendies. The tendies were supreme, the waffle fries even moreso, but the coffee was... way more bitter than I imagined. And the same applied to the McD coffee I had yesterday. It was so.. black. And I thought they somehow gave me a double strength brew, but that's impossible as McD operates on formula and timetables.
I'm still confused, because not only is my favorite coffee suddenly bad, I am now cognizant that I just had a fast food coffee 'phase.' What was originally considered to be just a staple of american life, the black water in a paper cup, is now over for me. It is literally ashtray water once again, and why it came and went in the first place, is beyond me.
Right now I am sipping a cup of loose leaf green tea with brown rice that comes in a large jar from the korean market. I don't know if I'll go back to 'coffee,' as we know it. Maybe I'll occasionally splurge on a real espresso. But for now, this di/ck/s frequenting of donut shops and drive thrus are on hiatus.

The grind only needs to be more coarse than the screen. While a finer grind can produce more fines, a very slow plunge and not pouring every last drip out of the press will negate most of the problem.

Every time I ask an espresso question on /ck/ I get told to buy a better grinder and then no one responds to the original question so I decided to research on my own. If you go with the classic, it is recommended to install a PID. If you don't care about milk then the gaggia is definitely your best bet and you can likely find older models for around $150 if you're willing to use some elbow grease. That'll get you a fully functional espresso machine for less than a stupid meme device like the Flair manual espresso maker.

How would you guys feel working for a shop that defines a double espresso as a 1oz drink in practice, but claims it is 2oz? General Manager seems to know a lot about coffee so I don't get why we are using such deceptive practices and falsely advertising the product. What do?

Well, once you leave, you could plaster the truth all over yelp. Hell, you could probably complain to the FTC about it being a scam, that would be fun.

We also have on our website a subscription to our coffee, $250 for a year subscription of one 12oz bag per month... for reference we sell each bag of beans in store $11 for a 12oz and $13 for a pound. Idk if that's illegal or anything but just like really fucking scummy? I feel like yelp is the best move here I guess

100g bloom, 200g, last 100g to get everything off the sides and level the bed again. I don't pause too long in between pours, just enough to let like 2/3 of the previous pour drain

A little chicory perks up the taste of roasted coffee beans. It's a good thing.
