This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

If you live in the US, most coffee places try really really hard to be like Starbucks, which is to say they use low quality coffee, load their drinks with sugar, and don't actually know how to tamp properly.
I get mad at coffee shops for copying Starbucks because SB is just so bad.
I've been using an espresso machine for a couple years and have admittedly become a snob about it because the flavor of proper espresso with good steamed milk is awesome.
