Got it from a viet coffee shop at Bay & Wellesley.

The worst thing about this, is my grinder still has half a hopper full of that toxic filth that is McDonald's dark roast espresso bean. Getting through it has been a... grind.

^ This guy is going to poop like a racehorse

You could... simply empty your grinder?

#singledosersforlyfe

...and risk having my McDonalds beans go stale? What's wrong with you!

thats the most asian thing ever.. calling your coffee toxic filth but not wanting to waste it. haha

Please ban RabidRat.

please edu-macate me, i work close to bay and wellesley - if it's legit i'll swing by and grab a bag.

I find pure robusta beans on its own pretty one-dimensional. Unless you're after that flavour, I would recommend against it.

!!!!You win the most asian of the day award!!!! :fuckyea:

to celebrate your achievement we got you nothing, because we are asian and fuck you for wanting some sort of a monetary or emotional validation. :accepted:

Oh sweet, you're in Toronto too? How come your location lists absolutely everywhere except GTA?! :lol

Okay fortunately, this is a blend!! It says here uh... 10% Arabica.

He's too ashamed to say he's in the GTA. :okay:

I think there are at least four of us in the GTA, if I'm not mistaken.

theres enough of your torontoototoonians to reach RS critical mass. i suggest you have a meat, take photos, and YOU BETTER NOT FUCKING HAVE ANY BEETLES THERE.

ya'll need to find a Toronto version of facetroll and have him hide in the bushes ala our facetroll. he also needs to constantly chirp about how expensive a used golf R and then proceed to pay 63k MSRP for a new one.

never seen this emotional validation... only this...

We'll host the GTA meet at Porsche Centre North Toronto or Markham just so it feels like Richmond.

Hell yes, the hopper's empty!!

Next up, this Kicking Horse coffee I picked up on sale at Walmart:

Like campfire and cherry. Good enough I didn't even add milk and just drank it black as an espresso, and then an americano. Definitely getting fruit from this. Pretty good!

anyone make any good iced coffee drinks either with an espresso machine or with just some drip coffee methods?
bonus points if i can make a batch and store it in the fridge for a few days.

If you want to make a batch - that sounds like cold brew. Look up cold brew immersion brewing.

Espresso/regular drip won't keep very well. They get acidic/sour.

I use my Braun drip coffee maker to make batches of cold brew. It has a cold brew function so it has a fixed ratio and you add your ice accordingly when you need to consume it.

Agreed on espresso - doesn't keep well and should be consumed near immediately.

almost pulled the trigger on this as it's a cool center piece

I made it to the bag of robusta.

It's like drinking liquified coffee candy! Amazing, utter perfection.

I actually saw this stuff and remembered this post in the thread. So I checked it out and it makes a pretty good Vietnamese ice coffee! I think it's like 80% Robusta

I have a bag of those, I pop one in whenever I don't feel like getting up to make coffee. Their candy is a lot better than their coffee, but even the instant mix will have to do sometimes

FYI, this was a great japanese movement.
They wanted to create coffee culture in japan. Good luck right? esp when it's all tea.
Well they started to create these candy and drove the next generation to taste of coffee.

Haven't fact checked cause no one would admit to it but not a bad theory.
