What's the most disappointing hipster shit you've ever tried?

Not especially smoky, not especially cola-y, and about $4 a bottle.

Fancy hot dogs in Seattle. They had all sorts of shit in the bun with the hot dog, I paid around $8 for it, but it was still just a fucking hot dog with some pop culture name and some extra crap.

Blue Bottle Coffee's cold-brewed coffee bottled in blue.
Fucking awful, sour shit and $6 per goddamn bottle. Fuck.

I don't understand how everyone can claim that cold brew is less acidic when it's always fucking sour-tasting.

When the beans are underroasted because of the starbucks overcorrection that we're suffering through atm, every coffee ever will be way too acidic, whether it's cold brew or not. Have you had a cold brew with a correctly roasted bean? Not this shit made from green coffee beans that were warmed up gently in a bain marie, and then brewed? I bet you haven't.

I've never had blue bottle's cold brew but there are a bunch of those sour unpleasant ones out there now. Wasn't like this in the early oughties and the 90s.

We'll get through this just like we got through the stanky green tasting "natural wine" cancer that was the overcorrection to the overripe boozy fruit bomb Robert Parker cancer.

Food and drink is basically just millions of cancers fighting each other in an effort to reach equilibrium.

kekked, but you keep referring to the brewing method which implies you don't get it. The roast affects the acidity. This is true whether you're doing some ridiculous contraption with siphons, or keurig poured over ice.

At the end of the day you still might not like it, but you don't seem to get how this coffee thing works. Probably you buy someone else's product instead of brewing it yourself, and then you get butthurt and try to make up an explanation for why it sucks. You're probably the kind of guy who expects the barber to read his mind and then posts an angry review on yelp when your haircut wasn't to your taste.

I can't recall the last time I bought coffee out. Years and years now. I brew hot coffee at home or at work, but made cold brew once.
Coincidentally, I cut my own hair, too. Easy to do when you basically just keep a crew cut but slightly longerish.

I used a decent coffee with a decent dark-roast. Not home roasted.

Anyway, the result was the same: a brown liquid that tasted almost, but not quite, entirely unlike coffee. Sour, horrid shit. How did this become popular?

I doubt I'm a supertaster here because I like all the things that genuine supertasters just can't handle, like strongly bitter greens and salted lemons.

Which one is it?

It may be gross, it may not be to your taste, maybe it's memecoffee for annoyingly cool hipsters, but it's factually incorrect to deny that it's less acidic.

Also the shit has been around since forever, the only people who think it's new are these tattooed skater kids who think you need a digital scale to brew a cup of drip coffee because apparently they have the palsy or some shit, probably from sniffing too many sharpies.

You need to up your reading comprehension game, Anon. Neither statement negates the other.

And I never said it was new. It's bad. It's sour. It's harsh. Those things I said.
You've seemingly grown upset that someone doesn't your brown, sour mess of a "coffee" drink.

[Anonymous No.6736512]

>>6736503

You seem upset that someone is bitch slapping you with facts after your butthurt rant about hip trend following foodies shoving their newly discovered tumblr fad down your throat.

I don't really like cold coffee in general, I have a couple of cups of hot brewed coffee in the AM (no matter what the weather outside), and an espresso after lunch. I haven't had a cold brew in maybe a year and I think someone bought it for me.

I'm just an informed coffee fan trying to help you understand the world around you. But if you want to reduce everything to "normal food" vs "tryhard hipster shit" instead of using your brain, it is your freedom to do so.

>facts
There are no relevant facts to the conversation other than the following:
>i don't like it
>it tastes sour to me
That's it.
No number of words you spew will change that.

And you respond by getting upset and displaying your poor reading comprehension skills time and again.

Your actual words:
>I don't understand how everyone can claim that cold brew is less acidic when it's always fucking sour-tasting.
This is a complaint in the form of a question. I then explained the facts, in a clear and concise fashion, and you took it as a personal attack, said you did the walter white method (indicating abject failure on your part to grasp the reality of the situation), and added a butthurt rant about roller derbies and smug normies making you feel intimidated with their radical new coffee.

Hey look man, this thread is about hipsters underwhelming you with their overrated overpriced fashion foods. I guess I should have accepted that it's about feelings and not facts and GOD FORBID we let facts get in the way of the two minutes' hate. Argument conceded, you win.

Dear me, your comprehension skills are really, rather bad, aren't they?

For one, that's not a question. It's a statement.
Next, I took nothing you said at first as an attack until it became clear that the fact I don't like coldbrew coffee because it tastes sour to me itched your anus a bit and you grew hostile.
Third, I never said anything about what method I used when I made the coldbrew coffee the one time I did, so I've nary a clue where you pulled that from. The only methods I mentioned are the ones others have used to make coldbrew that I've purchased already made.
And finally: you don't understand satire and because of this, I'm now absolutely certain you enjoy Sonic the Hedgehog to quite the great degree.

Trying something about a dozen times from about as many sources and half as many methods of preparation with each result being near-enough identical (IE, sour-tasting and bad) is a pretty good sample size for a person (IE, me) to say he or she doesn't like something (IE, coldbrew coffee).

Hey Mr. English expert, it's "i.e." not "IE."
It's short for "id est" and is Latin for "that is."
