There's terrible coffee out there. In my opinion (you may differ) Peet's black coffee tastes like burning and I regret it every time, usually in aeroport terminals (I always drink black so I often forget to order Peet's cut with adulterants like dairy).
Tastes are different; I hate really expensive trad whiskeys (Islay, Oban) because there's something in there that tastes to me like the smell of plastic shrinkwrap around vegetables from the japanese markets -- it's not peat, it's something else. But the cheap stuff I don't mind, and suntories are pretty good too.
- objektif 6y agoWhere do you live? If you are in NYC I can recommend a few places to try that will change your mind about coffee.
- AndrewUnmuted 6y agoI used to think there was no way the coffee out in the west coast could be substantially better than what we have in NYC. Then I went to Seattle and SF in the same month, and discovered how wrong I was. Those places may be pits right now just like NYC, but they definitely win in the coffee department.
- dnautics 6y agoI buy beans and use an aeropress. Even with expensive beans it's way cheaper (5x?) than store coffee. When travelling though ones option are more constrained.
- koolba 6y agoPeet’s coffee is, IMHO, better than most generic supermarket coffee but it’s not one you’d find in my cupboard. I prefer a lighter roast, usually with a pour over. Mayorga has a seasonal Rio Coco that is a good all around roast. Regarding whiskey, getting to the stage of sipping on anything Islay takes a while, but there’s a whole lifetime to get there. Along the way there’s plenty of more approachable single malts, rye whiskeys, bourbons, and so much more.
