1. Make your coffee at home
yea that’s why I bought a replica barista jura machine for $5,000


LOL. That's how I justify tools.

My wife sees a piece of furniture she likes, but doesn't want to pay $2,000 because I can make it at home.

What she doesn't know is...
My tablesaw needed an upgrade, and some new blades and whatnot.
I can't expect to use my OLD drill and change between bits and drivers.
I need that cool new jig for this or that
Tape measure is old and busted. Need a nice metal ruler.
Trip to the exotic lumber store
CLEARLY to finish this job, I need planer, jointer, biscuit jointer, extra clamps and a new work light.
Shop vac dust collection is lame, upgrade it.

Here's your new table that saved us $2,000 honey!

Congrats on Starbucks having g multiple roasts. I pointed out that so does everyone else.

Not sure how you've come to the conclusion that I'm lying about trying different roasts from Starbucks...but I'm of the opinion that the *multiple ones I've tasted from there aren't great.


Ok. Are you deliberately being obtuse? This is why I called you retarded by the way. You're clearly not able to comprehend the point I was making.

Because you've yet to make any point. I said I don't like Starbucks coffee. You said they have different roasts. I said congrats, so does every other coffee maker. When I said I haven't liked any of the roasts I've tried from there, you say I'm lying.

So whatever. Enjoy your favorite Starbucks roast while not making any point.

Oh geez. I've made several points. You're free to disagree with them of course, but to say that I haven't is clearly incorrect.

You're lying because a light roast coffee doesn't taste "burnt", which is a description that you used to label starbucks coffee in general.

See, the point here wasn't just to say that they have different roasts, it was to point out how erroneous your description of their coffee was BECAUSE of those different roasts (i.e., their dark roast may indeed taste "burnt" since it's roasted longer, but a lighter roast shouldn't have that taste). You saying that other coffee brands also have different roasts is a stupid non sequitur (but again, that's not surprising).
