I did once or twice but not angrily. I just pointed out that I've studied how coffee is supposed to be made and ingested and I'm basically taking the time to make them the best coffee I can possibly make, and if they could it would be nice to at least try it ONE TIME without anything in it so they can see what they are missing.

They have no clue how to make it in a french press. It's not even hard, they just don't want to take the time to learn all the little nuances.

at the very least I wish they would refrain from reheating it. That damages the taste so much.

I feel you anon, I feel you. Older people are set in their ways and are hard to get through to. That whole generation also didn't have access to the same variety of food and drinks that we have today, they've drank poor quality coffee for years watered down and made drinkable with creamer and sugar. To them, that is a cup of coffee. Its so frustrating, but try not to be too hard on them. My parents grew up on Miller Lite, Folgers, and Velveeta and will occasionally try something I suggest but a lot of the time they don't like it. They've gotten a whole lot better but be patient and don't be a dick. I like showing them new things but no longer get upset or defensive if they don't enjoy something that is good.

I think people just like coffee the way they're used to it. One time my mom came over and I made her a cup.

She took one sip and subtly walked around for awhile before setting the full mug on the kitchen counter.

I'm glad you found your favorite way to drink coffee, though I am concerned by
>pour boiled water in mugs to preheat (so mugs keep coffee warm and the coldness of the mugs don't alter the temp and taste of coffee)
>pour filtered cold water into pot and start boiling that
This is excessive. Not that excess bothers me all that much. I mean, if you feel like it makes a notable difference and it makes you happy, go for it. But more my issue with it is why not just put some water in the mugs and microwave them, or use some of the water you boil for the coffee for that? Boiling two different times is nuts.
>thick grind
Synonymous to coarse? If so, I strongly urge you to try a fine grind, and use less time steeping. The result will be less bitter and carry the bean notes much better. If it's the case of you being that averse to sludge, get some paper filters or grow up and love the signs of good coffee.

>Have you tried the things mentioned above?

Yes actually I switched to a finer grind/shorter steeping time and I did like it better and you're right, I should have said coarse.

The preheating the mugs thing may be excessive but I have noticed it DOES prolong how long the coffee stays warm, obviously. I just like it as part of my ritual.

I'm sorry, the coffee is one thing, but you really need to re-evaluate your priorities.

I remember when I was an angsty teenager and I used to try and show my dad 'challenging cinema' and 'challenging music' because I was too young to understand that after a hard day's work, at a job he did to support me and the family, he just wanted to relax and not have to deal with complication.

If you think this makes him a pleb and you want to condescend on him, fine, but maybe you'll think differently when you see it from his perspective one day.

Perhaps his father is a fatfuck on welfare and has never worked a day in his life. I am fairly confident his knowledge regarding his family's circumstances far exceeds yours. In fact, I guaruntee it.

Thank you, I'm with you. When your a teen or early 20's with nothing better to do than be a self titled connoisseur on mom and dads tab its easy to a condescending prick. But when you're out on your own self supporting maybe even with children its different. Good food and drink is good, but sometimes a man just wants a fucking cup of Joe. Sometimes we want to watch mindless cartoons and listen to shitty Ramones after work to unwind. These pretentious college kids are going to be dizzy lost and trampled when they get out into the shit.

I'm nearly 30 and no, "being tired" is not an excuse to have bad taste in things. Coffee and Cinema are both actually important things in my life.

What is your dad's employment?

When I finish work I have many things that I want to or have to do. I don't sit in front of the television and "turn off my brain".

This is a generational thing. A reaction to the nuclear family values of the 50's.

I have a good grinder and like 8 ways of making coffee, yet after buying my gf a Keurig I pretty much use it exclusively.

>>place the very top of plunger down to break the "crust" which helps to have the finiest coffee dust sink to the bottom and keeps it out of the cup
Whoa, holy fuck, did not know this. How have I never heard this before? This has been my biggest problem with coffee, holy Jesus.

what is your employment?

dont get me wrong, i try to enjoy the finer things in life when i can. usually on the weekends.

but after 12 hours of labor in the blazing sun, ya damn right im going to crack open some shit beer and watch some family guy.

when i was at a desk all day it was easy to muster up the strength to try a new recipe with ingredients ive never used before. it was easy to meet friends late at a bar or coffee house with work the next day. etc.

my point is that i dont think its generational. its more so tied to physical exhaustion. i suppose our generation does have less physically demanding jobs in the labor market but its certainly not "50s value"

wow i spent way too much thought on this
