People who drink mud for tough guy points are cringe.

[-] hansolo@lemmy.today 7 points 16 hours ago

What about the people that make it for themselves because they just like it that way?

[-] Sanguine@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 hours ago

I would argue you only like it that way due to exposure to other mis guided coffee drinkers and if you had a chance to reset your tastes you'd come to love a nice light to medium roast with hints of cherry and caramel.

I appreciate the sentiment of your comment. For real, this is worth asking.

That being said, I know what I like, and I'm, relatively speaking, also a bit of a coffee snob. Don't worry, I'm not some bumpkin drinking Nescafe.

I love a good low acid French Roast. Preferably African origin. Rich vanilla, deep roasty notes, chocolate, tobacco, leather, maybe cinnamon, slightly to moderately bitter. The same is true of whiskeys I like and beers I like or brew for myself. It's a flavor profile my partner and I both enjoy.

Right now, I have a 5lb bag of a co-op direct whole bean that's described as:

Roast: Dark

Acidity: Soft

Body: Smooth

Aroma: Toasted Walnut, Vanilla, Caramelized Sugar

Tasting Notes: Molasses, Smoky, Chocolate Brownie

Not a French roast, but my partner likes this one and we can agree on it. It's as light bodied as I like, but I like it a lot. Always drink our coffee black. 8/10 to me. We tested 3 different dark roasts to get to this one.

And to your specific suggestion, a month ago a friend that went to Ecuador and sent us 500gr of beans also direct from a co-op as a gift. Very nice of her. Light with cherry, slight caramel, and bright flavors. I fucking hate it. So much. Tastes like open sewers smell to me: sweet-sour ethyl esthers and funk. I understand that, objectively, it's good coffee. It's just not for me. I genuinely dread having it tomorrow morning just to get rid of it. I'll drown it in goat milk and choke it down. My partner thinks it's just ok.

We also both hate more than minimally peated scotch, and think people that claim to like scotch are victims of marketing and pressure from other douchebags, or have brain damage.

Right on, honestly that doesn't even sound like the mud I meant in my original post. I enjoy a dark roast too with those toasty notes. I used the light cherry caramel example to add effect since the person / coffee I'm talking about is the person who fills the basket to the brim of folgers dark roast, leaves it on the burner and drinks black burnt coffee all day.

Performative declarations that things people enjoy are cringe is also cringe.

[-] Chiarottide@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago

Hard disagree. I am a weak eepy little boy and I need a strong, girthy kick in the ass to start my day. Anything less won't do

[-] Sanguine@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 10 hours ago

ITT: Folks who don't know a light roast has more caffeine than dark, and muddier coffee does not equate to more caffeine.

That's how tough guy points work, yes.

Do stupid shit, get tough guy points.
