[GO]

I love coffee.

Aldis Medium Instant.

Lets do this.

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

I seem to be developing an indifference to coffee lately. Must be all the shite canteen coffee

 

[GO]

I dont wanna live in a world without coffee.I'm drinking it right now.

 

[pissypants]

IS it a coincidence that there's a rise in these bullshit threads since the Netnography thread arrived??? Hmmm.....

I thought the same thing with that second coming of christ thread

I hate coffee, I hate people who talk about coffee, I hate people who insist on "meeting for coffee" as though this was some sort of social occaision I hate the fact that it costs nearly as much as a pint should cost I hate that the coffee shop might replace the pub for social interactions, especially at lunchtime when you know a pint would lead to skulling two more then overloading on crisps and chewing gum before returning to work and sheepishly trying not to be smelt by anyone while not giving a fuck about anything. I hate that coffee is basically a stimulent so your boss actually wants you to drink it so you might be awake enough to get shit done, ask for a 10 minute break to go to the fucking bank and not bring the fucker back anything and you'll see what I mean. I hate the smell of coffee I hate that it gets on you if you spend anytime in a coffee shop. I hate that the same wankbags that want to meet for coffee then go on about the smell of smoke off your clothes when you spend time at a party/smoking section of a pub- yeah fuck off I smelt like a fucking bean for two fucking hours cos you wanted coffee and you ordered a fucking hot chocolate in the end you cunt. I hate the prices that are expanded by the fact that coffee shops offer a "comfortable ambience" or some other tosspot euphamism for second fucking hand sofa and shite MOR background music. A sandwich should never cost more than a fiver unless you get a fucking blowjob with it. buy one in a greasy fucking spoon cafe and it's ten times better and costs less so am I actually paying for the shite pictures of Chile on the wall or the muted pallette of the fucking walls themselves when i could be staring at page 3 and admiring the shades of grease on the floor of the local dive, while supporting Irish industry. I hate that people go on about the varieties of coffee as if it was expensive wine, I hate expensive wine, I hate people who drink expensive wine. I hate the smell of wine.

Etc etc.

I agree with all of this...apart from the bit about hating coffee

whats your point?

 

[Goodbye]

I'm drinking it right now.

No you're not.




Yes, I went there...

 

[Dktr. Faustus]

there are also non-ridiculous locally based coffeeshops to get your coffee from, just a thought!

do they sell exclusive Paul McCartney CDs though?

 

[Theseus Mock]

I thought everyone would be fawning over that 3FE coffee place in the twisted pepper. Seems popular with the crowd with twitter diarrhea.

 

[rettucs]

twitter diarrhea.

are we allowed complain about people like that? (no names naomi new or unarocks) or is it our own fault for following them?

 

[тхеодоре кацзынски]

Complain anyway.And stop following them.Twitter is some pile of shite,coffee's grand though.

 

[The septic]

The Eddie Rockets up by me does lovely coffee and has Billy Joel on the jukebox. True story

 

[Anthony]

I didn't like the coffee in 3FE. Mind you, that's on me. I don't expect someone doing connoisseur coffee to appeal to me. Or care.

 

[Dktr. Faustus]

Bald Barista do lovely coffee. That cafe brazil by the portobello bridge had great coffee when it was the italian place in its last incarnation, owners seem the same so it's probably still great. Starbucks makes no sense

 

[RED(tape)MENACE]

Donnybrook Fair on Baggot street does totally boss coffee.

 

[Space]

Crunch on Aungier Street, Tower Records Cafe on Wicklow Street, Bon Espresso on Merrion Row and Lunch/Calzone on St. William Street all do decent coffee, as does the aforementioned Bald Barista. I'm undecided about the Twisted Pepper place, it's good coffee but their blends just aren't to my taste and their cups are too damn small.

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

Its a bit hot in there and theres no sunlight, i've never felt tempted to stay

 

[shower another shower]

going to a coffee morning next week.
