the new $2,200 coffee machine at work. This thing does everything but tie your shoes in the morning, I think. Makes lattes, cappuccinos, espresso…and even lowly “coffee”. You can literally hear the condescending sniff as you push the button.
And the coffee…was awful, and I couldn’t decide why. Then my co-worker allowed that he didn’t understand why I would say so, because it was after all Starbucks coffee.
Which explained the burned taste that only an aficionado could possibly love…
The machine may as well be ruined now, so I won’t be buying any Jamaican Blue Mountain beans to teach my co-workers what good coffee actually tastes like.
