caffeinated
I recently found out that I am a coffee snob. I was actually pretty shocked to find this out since I don’t like coffee. Confused? I bet. So here’s the deal. A couple weeks ago I got a coupon for a free Starbucks latte. So I have heard about lattes and half cafs and all that crap, but didn’t really have a good understanding of what a latte was. Anyway, since this is Florida and it is hot and stuff I ordered the iced variety. Dude behind the counter was trying to upsell me some flavors or something. I told him I just wanted what was free. Since I had never had a latte I wanted to try it as is. So he hands me the cup and I take a drink…nasty. I quickly added like 5 billion sugars and took another taste. Oh man. It was kind of like a coffee flavored milk shake…with a caffeine kicker. So I had to figure out how to reproduce this at home. A little bit of research and I quickly figured out that my best bet was a press pot. Unfortunately I found out pretty soon after that I needed to use good coffee.
So there you have it…I am a coffee snob.
