Life is too short for bad coffee .
Years ago , after lunch I would sit down for an espresso at an authentic Italian bakery in what used to be the Italian neighborhood of a small USA city . mmmm , so good .
A few years ago I tried cold brew . yum . My daughter bought us a jar and screen so we can make cold brew at home and keep it in a glass pitcher in the fridge . A little goes a long way .
We bought a moka pot . We use it to make fake espresso . Tastes pretty good .
On our trips to Oregon and Utah , my daughter and I enjoyed getting coffee from independent or very small chain coffee shacks . I live in a second-rate state where people drink third-rate coffee that reminds me of American yellow lite beer . No coffee shack culture here . So sad .
I like my hot coffee very hot . Lukewarm coffee is yuk . If I'm on the road and cannot resist the urge to buy coffee at a national chain , my tactic is to order an Americano to avoid the disappointment of stale burnt luke warm coffee .
Awesome. You go the extra mile for good coffee.
