Throughout my travels I run into a lot of crappy coffee. But often I'm okay with it because it's a form of stability for me. When I walk into a hotel I know exactly what the coffee will taste like because it's hotel coffee and hotel coffee always tastes the same. It's not very strong, it has a different consistency than normal coffee, it's simple. And it also gets cold faster that any other coffee... At least I think it does... Now that I'm saying it out loud it seems like maybe that not a scientifically proven fact and I've just believed something that my sub-conscience has tricked me into thinking is truth.
But I'm pretty sure it's true.
Unless it's a specialty restaurant, restaurant coffee all has the same general taste and feel as well. It comes in a simple ceramic mug and it's made in a typical coffee brewer and it makes me feel like an elderly person. Don't ask why, it just does.
Keurig coffee always has a weird bite to it. And even though it's technically a mini version of the normal brewing process it still has a fake taste.And there are plenty of other types of coffee that are generic coffees that I drink and I say all this to explain something to the people who see me drinking coffees like this and say, "I thought you were a coffee snob?"
Oh, don't worry, I am.
I'm very snobby.
I can snob the heck out of any coffee.
Right now I'm drinking a cup of Dunkin' Donuts. It's not good nessescarily but it's still enjoyable, it's not the best but it's still coffee.
When I was a kid I would go swimming in water that was cold because even though it would have been better if it was warm I loved swimming and cold swimming was way more fun than not swimming. Same principle.
The point of all this is to say: I drink all kinds of coffee because I appreciate coffee even if it isn't the best version of itself.
