Actually feel far less wanky now. Fark some people take coffee seriously!
When I went to Tokyo I noticed they are really super serious about coffee. Too bad the stuff I drank tasted like shit
The worst coffee I ever had was at a hostel in Prague. I never knew it was possible for coffee to be that shit. I can only imagine what the quality was like during the War and communist times.

Did I? That's what happens when you reactivate an old thread. Did I mention I have a cold brew pot last time? Tried it a bit, but never really liked the taste

Well I'm glad I posted that....
Seriously, it tastes really good. Surely can't be hipster if it's $1.43 long lasting almond milk from Aldi?
tried it...its not that it was bad...just different to what i wanted...which was a "normal" coffee, kind of tasted like it had been made with old cereal milk

splash out on some good quality beans!
my favourite cafe that i go to every day roasts their own, so I'll drink that at home as well.
I have a roaster round the corner, unfortunately their actual barista isn't the best so end up going the other way to the normal coffee shop with the good barista
Given the very limited range of food and drink I consume, my opinion is probably not valid. I might like it because it's a rare new taste sensation. Bit sad really but works for me.
im a believer that half the battle with an enjoyable coffee is frothy milk and so i bought a milk frother to use with my instant coffee....thats why i go to the cafe

Worst coffee I've ever had was actually a mocha in Melbourne. My mate claimed it would be the worst one I'd ever have, I was disbelieving. He was right, I was wrong.
The not pleasant side note to the story is that it was the cafe whose owner got killed by that dude stabbing people, the one where the guy held him off with a shopping trolley or milk crate IIRC.
Melbournites will likely know the name of the cafe.
Edit: I should also note that sadly I've never been to Prague.

Pellegrinis? agreed, worst coffee and service ive ever had (use to work around the corner)...was an experience and im convinced it was so popular just because it was an institution

Pellegrinis
After a quick look on Google yes, that's the one, I bought a book at the bookstore next door.

Ironically I've gone full circle and am doing 2 double shots. One when I start work and one after lunch. Thats just because of a very extreme period though. Hopefully will end soon. Before that was down to 2 singles. It's worse than drugs (or so I hear)

I suppose you couldn't complain about the price. It's probably much more expensive there now but damn it was cheap back in the day.

For someone who is a massive beer piston wristed gibbon like myself when it comes to coffee I like it real simple. Americano or short black and I’m happy. Unfortunately due to a bit of a health scare I have to be careful with the coffee intake but this time last year when on the road I was drinking a ridiculous amount.
The girl has a Nespresso machine but I just don’t like those much compared to good plunger coffee if I’m honest. So many different types and all so underwhelming.

seriously beer used to cost about 10c a bottle when I was there, why on earth would you try coffee. Probably safer than the rat burger I ate outside said train station
-
double shot.. that is all,
..maybe twice or three times a day
-
@bayimports because i was getting on a train to Warsaw and was hungover from a large amount of very cheap but very good beer

I’d only do that if I knew I was doing a big workout otherwise I’d be up all night.

Nespresso isn't that bad, however given you like a short black, you would probably need an option in their 10-12 range. Obviously not the same, but can be useful.
Like in terms of time and effort that's when its useful, otherwise I would prefer to get a normal coffee. I generally can't be farked at home to do anything that takes effort in terms of making a coffee. My head is normally not functioning well enough to think until I have consumed one.
