Yes, I am a coffee snob.
I love my coffee, i love the taste, i love the smell, i love the texture and i love the feeling i get when i pull a great shot. Indeed I have become passionate about it to the point where I talk about coffee a lot (hey its a relatively new hobby so its always on the tip of my tongue).
But heres the thing. I love it, i talk about it, but generally, especially during the week, i tend to only drink coffee in the mornings, or if in the evenings, straight away when i get home from work, i may have a ristretto. This is mainly because i have been an on and off sufferer of insomnia all my life, regardless of caffeine intake. Late night coffee never helps though.
However, when friends with whom i have been talking about coffee for months finally make it over for dinner, obviously, I must partake in coffee with them. This would be fine, except i had already had a shot when i got home. Then whilst discussing the flavour of the home roasted yirg, i mentioned that to really taste the flavour and appreciate it best, a vacpot would be the best option.
My friends had never heard of a vacpot, so i broke out the bodum santos and then after seeing it, they had to see it in action and taste result. Of course being a good host, i could not disappoint my dinner guests and more coffee was had. So, 10.30pm after already having just had a latte, the delicious yet more caffeinated than ristretto vacpot brew was made and drunk. My friends left, leaving me at home, alone, happy, but wired.
mmmm coffee. so much joy - so little sleep.
