@screwlisp Cold brew coffee: Very good, much too slow a process for my junkie ass.
We don't say "long black" that's just a double Americano. I'm not a fan of the Americano type, straight-up espresso without milk bothers my stomach. I either have a strong drip, French press/pour-over, or if I'm out I'll get a latte or cappucino.

The barista is human but an AI agent runs this experimental Swedish cafe.
From @AssociatedPress: "Experts say ethical concerns abound, ranging from technology’s role in humankind’s future to conducting job interviews and judging employee performance."

Can someone explain the science to me of why if you make pour over coffee with water from a kettle vs water from a microwave it tastes so different? I’m always on team kettle but I want to know why I genuinely feel like it tastes so different. Microwaved water coffee tastes muddy and flat to me
(Yes I am also horrified by microwaving water.. but I really want to know the details behind this!)

re: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trojan_Room_coffee_pot
I'm curious if anyone knows if there's an equivalent to the Trojan Room coffee pot on the Internet? These days It would be easy to do via other means, but I find the original idea interesting.
Note that, as a bonus, I'd love to know If the source code to xcoffee in the Wikipedia's screenshot is still available.
By way of lore, I'm also aware the original coffee pot was auctioned off, I believe to a company in Germany...
Still, I'm interested to hear more if anyone knows anything!
Fun piece about coffee's role in prompting liberal thought:
'Coffee houses were not just places where people could gather to drink the newly imported dark liquid; they were debating chambers where people could test their opinions, “penny universities” where they could educate themselves, and social networking hubs where people of different classes could rub shoulders.
'Jurgen Habermas, the social philosopher who died last month, famously argued that coffee houses provided something radically new: a third space, or “bourgeois public sphere”, separate from the state or the home where people of all social ranks could meet and engage in open discussion.'

Caffeinated coffee may stave off dementia - https://boingboing.net/2026/02/13/caffeinated-coffee-may-stave-off-dementia.html "drinking two to three cups of #coffee or one to two cups of #tea—approximately 300mg of caffeine—reduced dementia risk by 18% and 14%, respectively."
Most hashtags are pretty obvious, you just put # in front of a topic. For example if a post is about coffee it might have the tag #Coffee
However, many popular hashtags have difficult-to-guess names, so I've started a list to help people discover them:
➡️ https://fedi.tips/fun-and-useful-hashtags-to-follow-on-mastodon-and-the-wider-fediverse
Copy-paste a hashtag into the search box in Mastodon if you want to browse or follow it.
If you have suggestions for non-obvious hashtags that should be added to the list, let me know in the replies 🙂

My wife is a certifiable Dubai chocolate addict, but does not drink coffee. I am a certifiable coffee addict, but I do not tend to like flavored coffee. (I order it “black and bitter, just like my soul.”)
I found this in the clearance bin at the grocery store, and bought a couple bags out of curiosity. As flavored coffee goes, it isn’t bad, but I’d rather have the plain stuff. It smells faintly of Dubai chocolate, but tastes like generic “flavoring additives.”
#GoodMorning and good #tzag.
Working my way to waking up this Sunday morning after a night out on the town with A and our group. Meeting them soon this morning for a bike ride so long as the weather holds up. At least I know that the morning #coffee will brighten the day regardless.

TIL #dunkindonuts Midnight dark roast tastes like burning mud.
As a self-confessed loose leaf #tea snob (and junkie!), I do like dark roast #coffee. But given the opportunity to have this Dunk's dark roast again I think I'd rather just go for burning mud.
Sigh.
@publicdomainrev that was also when #coffee houses began.
Dunton’s modus operandi entailed rambling in places like Chancery Lane, Cheapside, Farringdon, Fleet Street, Holborn, St James’s Park or the Strand, generally between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. He pursued this vocation throughout the winter of 1696-97. In addition to the streets, he visited coffee houses, music houses, playhouses, and pleasure gardens in pursuit of his victims. He liked to take his cue from the coded invitations of prostitutes, as when they pretended to stumble into him or drop their handkerchiefs on the pavement. In order to be morally and socially effective, as he saw it, Dunton masqueraded as the corrupt and sinful individuals whose behaviour he was determined to expose. So on his first night’s noctambulation, for example, traversing Pall Mall, he propositioned prostitutes, sequestered them in a convenient tavern, and only then, after several glasses, lectured them on their licentiousness.
@empirepoduk did a podcast about #CoffeeHouses.
For my next trick I'll oil up some old joints.
I need also my bearings running smooth. I wonder if there's butter in the fridge.
After breakfast it will be just running outside through the door and saving the world I suppose.

Enjoying scrambled eggs with spinach for breakfast with three of these cheesy corn poppers A made on Monday. Toasted them in the air fryer and they compliment the scrambled eggs with spinach very well. Only thing left to prepare is my morning #coffee, which is almost done brewing.
Here's hoping traffic and the work day don't ruin things.

Let me know what you think with emphasis on #Fascism using people as part of being a #Capitalist - directly and indirectly - not completely 100% but you are more often a big part that, and have a lot of ignorance or ignoring thing to fall within that definition of fascist and then the #extractive #business added on top ( #BigTech / #Tech / #STEM etc ) and perhaps complain about it after...

Tasting notes: "horribly sour, terrible tasting raw coffee tannins combined with the taste of an old ashtray and over-roasted sneakers" 🤪 😬 #coffee
Here's the probably, which you can see visually. Left side: WAY OVER ROASTED. When brewed, tasted like an ashtray. On the right side: berry is not nearly roasted enough, so you get the horrible flavors of raw coffee berry (raw coffee berry flavors are really, really sour and terrible and have off flavors). So this is most certainly a bad roasting issue. The OTHER possible issue, is I did not grade these beans (ie used all my beans harvested... the commercial processors remove any floating beans as "poor quality". But half or more of my beans were floating.... ) #coffee
Meanwhile, the coffee bush outside is flowering like I have never seen it flower before. #coffee #gardening
Progress! It took a few years to crack the code, but gave honest to goodness green coffee beans, ready to move on to roasting! The trick was wet processing these with added yeast, but ONLY for a day. And then into a dehydrator. Enough to remove the mucilage but not develop mold. #coffee #gardening
Imperfect roast... the beans did not behave quite like commercial ones, or the batch too small. Random mix of roast profiles, LOL. Smells good though! #coffee
Into a coffee press. Then through a filter... and first cup of homegrown coffee! (Conclusion: it is coffee... but I over roasted and under roasted the beans at the same time, so the actual coffee is not great, ha ha ha. But, it is caffeinated!). #coffee
A group of mad scientists named Folger, Maxwell, Horton, and Starbuck created an elixir that triggers the coffee gene.

Good morning. 😴😳☕
2 September 2025
I was awakened this morning by my wife nudging me—not quite a shove, more like a weary suggestion that I get moving. She must’ve heard Charlie grumbling or shifting around.
My head’s not in the game. I’m dazed and running late—only eight minutes until mealtime. Feeding Charlie twice a day, on time, is my job, and I take it seriously. He eats well: some kind of chicken blend from Science Diet that actually looks decent, like tuna with peas and carrots. He gets dry food too, so he’s not hurting.
For his afternoon meal, I dress it up—chicken surprise surrounded by dog biscuits and a Beggin strip. It’s practically gourmet. Still, when I sit down to eat, he positions himself just so, in my line of sight, and stares like I owe him money.
