Quite frankly, I don't care if you respect the way I drink coffee, eat my food or prepare an omelet. I didn't realize you were the the "EXPERT OF ALL THINGS COFFEE". I enjoyed tasca coffee from Spain and campfire coffee from CO. What YOU respect, quite frankly, doesn't amount to a hill of beans (pun intended) as to what my tastes, others tastes or even the 2/3 cream and 1/3 coffee crowd prefer. You, sir, nailed it with "psuedo connoisereur" or better put, you like it your way but look down your nose at others that prefer another taste. When you are published and touted as the "Coffee Guru" of the century, I'd still defer to people that enjoy coffee in a manner of mixtures. It's their dollars for the cup, not yours. Nuff said there. (sorry Mr. Moderator, someone calling me "disrespectful" for not enjoying my coffee HIS way, rubs me wrong in a number of ways).
FYI...I did not intend to strike a nerve...! no need to get your panties all bunched up there buster... YOU were the one that came marching in making yourself out to be the quintessential expert:
For coffee LOVERS, there is no cutting corners. A coffee grinder, real beans and the ability to grind those beans "Just SO". Had to buy the pre-ground stuff and it just doesn't cut it when Folgers took their whole beans off the market. I thought I was going into cardiac arrest when I tried their "Columbian Ground" ACK. Was tempted to get the Keurig then priced a cup of coffee from them....Holy Batman. I want whole bean coffee, my grinder and a drip coffee maker. Is that asking too much? How I prefer to adorn it with either sugar or half and half is MY decision. Gotta be fresh ground and NOTHING will replace that
And another thing...just how in hades did you get being called "disrespectful" from me saying I did not have much respect for a self proclaimed (fresh ground) coffee expert that uses cream and or sugar???
