It really does depend on the coffee.

I've had some essentially green coffee that was great - light acidity, strong cocoa odour and finish... very pleasant all the way through without being flavourless.

I've had some dark roasts that played their smokiness really well with other equally present flavours.

If I had to choose one bean or brand for the rest of my life, I could make a choice of which roast, but if I still have the freedom to choose where I get my beans from (well, the roaster around the corner) then I can't decide.

Why choose one? It isn't like beer drinkers stick to a single kind of beer. On that note, my daily drinker is a dark roast. However, I'm drinking a medium to light roast as I'm typing this.

>> No.6196846

They'd need to be ground and brewed separately or you'd get the worst of both worlds. High acidity from the light roast and bitterness from the dark roast.

I'd also like to see the difference between the roasts that are used. Like how dark and light the blended beans are.

Also, she didn't say shit about light v. dark roast except to say that they don't determine how strong your brew is, which is something that anyone with half a brain could figure out with a little trial and error.

I'm generally more a fan of dark roasts: I like the deeper flavors, and I've found that they have a sort of cushier, more thump-ish impact on the tongue than the sharper ping of light roasts.

Ah yes, the eternal conundrum... shall I take my coffee dark or light? The eternal yin and yang balance of my mid-day go-juice after a long night of raiding on WoW. As a coffee conniseur aficianado myself much prefer dark and black most of the time, it matches my chaotic philosophies and temperament. But when my mom buys coffee she buys light so when I drink that I just drink it to "cleanse" and rebalance my soul from all the dark coffee I drink. I always drink my coffee black, sweetners and milk is for children and swaggots who put it in their "McCafe" coffee on their way to their dead end 9-5 job.

Alright you stupid fucks, the next time you go buy cleaning supplies i want you to pour that shit down your throat. What? Lots of people have done it! Therefore it must be safe! As consumers it's the big EVIL corporation that makes EEEEVIL profits to send out workers to ensure you are using the product properly every time you use it.

That reminds me of a time when some old person asked for a cup of coffee with cream and then they came back through the drive-thru and said that it was too cold. Fucking old people.

Also, I notice that a lot of older people tend to say things like, "I'll just have a regular coffee." - after that, I just give/charge them a medium light roast black. Teens tend to expect a lot of sugary shit like whipped cream on their lattes (I personally can't call it a latte once it has whipped cream on it).

I've had to explain physics to a few denizens of geriatric park.

I can't give you a 220F latte. Nobody can. Water boils at 212, milk at a lower temperature. I can give you an incredibly unsafe, scalded latte at around 200, but I accept no responsibility for any resulting damages.

>>6200536
A regular coffee here is 1 cream, 1 sugar... not sure if there are regional changes, but it makes sense that there would be.

If adding "con panna" helps you (like it does me after about my fourth shot of OCDspresso), I say go for it. You'll sound like an asshole, but so do they.

I manage a coffee shop in phoenix and convinced my roaster to give me a "white" espresso blend, which is really just an ultra-blond roast. For coffee nerds: He roasts until right before the first crack and then removes the beans from the roaster. The resulting espresso is like a cross between yerba mate and coffee in flavor and has a sort of grain/cereal flavor. I still do regular espresso, but a lot of our patrons really like the variety. It makes a good latte but its hard to do anything else with because it doesn't form a very strong crema.

Not at all. But a label on the cup that says exactly how hot the beverage is would be good. Or some kind of temperature-sensitive device on the cup that acts as a thermometer and glows red when the beverege is super hot.

It's not possible to know how hot the beverege is otherwise, without taking a sip or lifting the lid.
People take calculated risks all the time and I'd put a warm cup of coffee between my legs if the only risk was staining my pants with a warm sensation. I wouldn't put that cup between my legs if I knew that I was risking 3rd degree burns.

But above all, I definitely prefer a light roast. It brings out the fruity flavours of the bean.

I have a tip that may save your crotch.
If you are ever in a truck stop in flyover country( yes I know you would never, but if you did) the coffee is far hotter than MacDonald's .
The truckers won't have it any other way.

My beverege of choice is espresso which should never be that hot.

I think truckers want extra hot coffee so they can sip it over time while spending many hours on the road. Though trucks usually have cup holders which reduces the risk of groin annihilation.
