      When...

      1. You rather endure a no-coffee headache than stop by a cafe with an umbrella with a big-name coffee company name to buy a coffee.  
      2. When you keep a machine and grinder in your office desk and lug both to the kitchen (and back to the desk) every morning when you want a cuppa.
      3. When you wait around in an empty car parking lot at Docklands on a cold morning pacing back and forth circling a white van (Bean Bay pickup point in Feb)
      4. When you actually seriously contemplated bringing your own roasted beans to a cafe and asking them to use it to make your coffee and not minding paying full price....

        Well - what is a coffee snob?

        Piu la mandi giu, e piu ti tira su
        ???

        Google translation: Italian » English

        Piu la mandi giu, e piu ti tira su
        Over the SEND June, and you pull on
        ‘Piu la mandi giu, e piu ti tira su’, was the 1980-1990s advertising jingle of Segafredo, the famous Italian coffee company.

        The best translation of it would be, The more you drink, the better you’ll feel!

              A coffeesnob for me is when
              ...taking the coffee machine with you is the first thing that comes to mind when going away...and you have a serious discussion with the family when they wont give up the boot space for it, the grinder, and the beans, and the tamper, and you try and negotiate by saying youre leaving the tamping mat and knock box at home.
              ...coffee is always on your mind
              ...the last shot you made at home in the morning before going to work that wasnt so good leaves you wondering all day at work how youre going to make it better
              ...you think buying coffee is like gambling - am I going to get a winner this time?
              ...the coffee you just paid $3 for disappoints and youre thinking " I could have bought approx 333g of green beans with that $3"...and you tell them and they look at you bewildered
              ...I could keep going, but enough already!

                A coffeesnob is when you go into a new cafe, and beyond your expecation, the coffee was execllent, the first thing you think is, I have to post a note on CoffeeSnobs about this one before any one else does.

                    So, so true. I have thought this many a time.

                      1. When you can identify the bean from the aroma
                      2. When you critique a baristas technique and know the coffee will not taste as it should
                      3. When you drive 100 kilometers just so you can get a coffee at a particular Roaster.

                        When you pop around to a friends house for a coffee and they get a nervous look on their face, like theyre about to sit for an exam ;D.

                          When your friends open champagne rather than offer a coffee. (Yippee--I got them trained at last!)

                            In an effort to maintain consistent quality you now grow and harvest your own fruit from the backyard. Havent roasted it yet so I am fairly sure it will be consistent but not sure at what level. :-/ Oh well at least I know it is organic.

                              ... when you wake up in the night thinking of minor improvements to your home-made roasting setup
                              ... when your research for a holiday begins with searching CoffeeSnobs for cafe recommendations

                              The latter is critical - for the Tasmanian winter campervan trip Im planning, I can accept some coffee free days when Im away from civilisation. But the thought of enduring the entire trip without any good coffee at all is unthinkable. Thanks to this forum I have a small printed list in my wallet of places in Tas where I can get some coffee satisfaction.

                              Not that Im addicted of course, its just a nutritional requirement I have.

                                Yeah, I count it towards my daily fruit intake.
