  • Yeah that’s exactly how I approach it. I’ll keep on trying stuff to see if it works for me (Croatia does coffee quite decently, I think the proximity to Italy has effect).

    But I’m not too disappointed, like I said I’m not an habitual caffeine consumer.

    But it’s good to explore the extent of my snobbery, how rare it is to have a cup that really satisfies me is quite important to realize.

    Thanks for the suggestions! It’s great that you took the time to think along with me. I’ll raise my glass of sparkling water to you! (my own habitual daily drink I have trouble doing without)



  • I’ve tried moka pot coffee, but it’s too acrid for me and lacks the leopard print crema layer from a good expresso (or I’m not good at it).

    I’ve done barista courses and found out that what I like takes a expensive piston espresso maker and an intricately calibrated grinder.

    And that’s cool, I’m content to be a snob until I win the lottery (which is very unlikely as I don’t play) luckily I’m not very dependent on caffeine intake.

    I’m just a bit miffed that what I can get on every street corner in Italy is so rare where I live.

    I think that the real sexism is in it being the norm that women have to paint their faces in order to be able to partake in society, lest they are deemed ‘unkept’.

    i know some people delight in adhering to the rule, like many moslimas choosing to wear a headscarf. Or tradwifes seeking their submissive role in the family.

    I’m not judging them if they do, but I feel the mold that is the norm should not go unquestioned.

    However you can’t go and criticize men for having an aesthetical preference, whilst championing the women’s right to that preference, that’s hypocritical.


  • Coffee. I’m not a regular consumer as I don’t find many modes that cater to my snobbery.

    I only like the Italian, one sip ristretto. Very well made, thick and nutty. Unfortunately outside of Italy this is incredibly hard to come by.

    So I basically never drink coffee. Without an expensive machine in not able to make it at home (I tried all ristretto options for Nespresso, but they don’t cut it).

    There’s only a couple of coffee bars that I trust to serve me good coffee… It’s infuriating as coffee culture is global, yet there’s almost nowhere where my taste buds are satisfied.
