[momophile]

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

Those cyborgs know how to build them! :D

[momophile]

4. the blonde scares the hell out of me

Boomer is cute though...

[Fuzz]

5. Yeah, I kind of like that about her

[bridgit]

[Fuzz]

IMHO

[bridgit]

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

11. No more than Dunkin Donuts.

:shrug:

[bridgit]

12. i've never paid $4 for a cup of coffee @ dunkin donuts...

:spray:

[Chan790]

15. Yeah,

but DD's coffee still sucks.

If you want great coffee, honestly...go to Starbucks, but go during a slow rush and ask them to french-press something you'll enjoy. (I can't over-reccommend Kenya or Sulawesi or Narino Supremo.) I do it almost-every-day for the customers I like, the ones who actually know coffee, or can appreciate a good cup. I'm happy to because I know they enjoy it. I do it for anybody who asks, provided they don't come in at 7:30am when the line is down the block and ask for it because I can't do it then.

We love to press coffee for the people who know and love coffee because when they find that one perfect blend, one that we may not bulk-brew because it's special and underappreciated, it's magic.

However, 99% of the people who come-in don't know great coffee and don't really want to because great coffee takes time and knowledge (much like great tea does). They want fast decent coffee so I give them fast decent coffee.

16. which is why i don't drink it...

we do Starbuck's, but we'll do Peet's & Java City too, or a newer place in town which is superior to Starbuck's but a singular shop downtown...Starbuck's is not always consistent; they're out of vinte cups, they don't have change, they ran out of white mocha it's a crap shoot lately = the price of trying to own the world moment by moment

Starbuck's aren't the only brewers in this town

[xchrom]

19. yay Peets!!!

love Peets coffee.

i'm a die hard french roast fan -- i know, i know -- it's passe now.

[bridgit]

20. hee, Peet's coffee'll blow your socks off...

:bounce: :donut: :)

[xchrom]

21. indeed!

really yummy stuff!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

17. Have you seen the new espresso drinks at Dunkin Donuts?

Yep, $4 cups of Dunkin' Donuts coffee. The prices on the regular drip coffees are about the same, too.

[bridgit]

18. don't do dunkin donuts, do do a little donut shop run by some nice...

chinese folks in land park out here...their coffee is .90cts for a large :thumbsup:

[Chan790]

14. Sadly

as a barista I agree.

It's corporate's fault, they take away good tools (Magistrale espresso machines; true artist's tools which allow you to do anything you desire but are hard to use if you're not meant to barista) and replace them with Verismo 301s (moron-proof piles of crap which limit artistry immensely by automating the process; taking away skill-based variables such as tamping, short-pouring (no more ristretto shots:beer:), and ability to add to the ground mixture (no more cubano shots.x()

Why? Because it allows them to train people less and hire morons. I'm sorry, I'm an artist and I get paid like one because I am one. I don't need a machine to do my job for me because I know how to do it. Maybe our new hires do need a "player piano" but that tells me they need to be better-trained or find a different job.

Edited: Just to add to journal.

9. Damn skippy ...

I avoid MTV like the plague now, but she's a veteran of one of their crappy shows. If that kind of talent and hotness can come out of MTV drek, I may have to rethink my opinion.

Anyway, I'm with ya. It's far more than just the physical person too. I *love* the personality of the character.

Best show on television. "Starbuck" is a major reason why.

[Mutley]

10. Yeah, she's hot.

Especially when she looks all pissed off...



:D

[LostinVA]

13. But see, this means you aren't "straight" on the Kinsey Scale

You got a little of the women-lover in ya.
