Speaking of coffee...what about the foil liner?

I don't know about "cork sniffing" or being able to distinguish a hint of peppercorns vs. a soupcon of turnipseed in my Upper Mongolian Aribica but I'll cop to being a coffee snob. Which pretty much means I brew it myself or get it at my one favorite coffee shop. I only allow myself one large cup with breakfast and one small cup a couple hours later then I'm done for the day. So I don't waste it on bad or even halfway-decent coffee.

I suppose I'm similar in when I buy an espresso or americano out I'm picky. Most places serve what I'd best describe as acqua marrone.

There are probably three places in the city I can rely on getting a good shot.

Personally I'd LOVE a La Marzocco unit at home. I'd worship it like a shrine. But being of limited income, at home it's moka pot, Vietnamese, Turkish, or in a pinch the occasional instant.

I find my favourite coffee is even smoother when it's passed through a civet cat *twice*

I leave it.

Not a coffee snob, but I haven't bought canned coffee since late 80's.

Too highbrow for me.

Canned coffee is the telecaster of coffees. Folgers is The Holy American Cheese of coffee.

Liner not required

You people don't know your luck.
My 80's canned coffee was this

I figured all of the oldfarts stopped buying canned coffee when they switched from metal to plastic cans.

I don't know- this old fart stopped buying canned coffee when I went to college and got out of the suburbs to somewhere where decent coffee was available. Except for an occasional can of Medaglia d'Oro in emergencies.

I like to start my day with a crisis...

You guys haven’t lived the high life! True gourmet coffee is the stuff that vending machines dispense in the break rooms in factories. It’s hot and usually looks kinda dark, that’s about all that I can find positive about the stuff.

Before I retired, I worked at an engineering-heavy company, and I witnessed monumental lunchtime arguments about coffee and all it’s tangential minutiae. Those freaks would almost come to blows over how to do coffee the right way. We sometimes would sit near their tables deliberately, just to hear the latest coffee lunacy. It became an inside joke to say “let’s go fight over coffee” when we really meant “let’s go to lunch”. Those guys cured me from grinding my own beans and owning expensive coffee devices. I love good coffee, and these days there are lots of good local roasters selling excellent beans that they’ll grind for you that I just put in my drip machine in the morning. I don’t miss that loud coffee grinder sound first thing every morning, I can tell you that.

I remove the foil and make microwave-shield hats out of them. They work. I haven't had a microwave induced headache in years!
