There I was - able to go out and have a coffee thinking that nearly every coffee I drank from a Cafe was great. Now thanks to CoffeeSnobs I find that I enjoy very few cafe coffees
. My days out are not the same.
I prefer to drink the coffee I make at home on a cheap sunbeam with fresh ground coffee from Brown Bay. Will I ever be able to look at cafe coffee in the same light again?
I have also been afflicted by Upgradeitis which appears to infect any who view these pages. Is it a conspiracy?? :
, I say yes, it appears that a few persons have managed to pass this virus over the internet by nefarious means
. Is it an international conspiracy I ask you?
Having been inflicted with this disease I now look longingly, not at my wife, but at coffee machines and dream about the perfect cup. When will it end? I have today been out buying various local beans and found myself drinking several short blacks (which I am not particularly fond of) to assess the mouth feel and body. Again this is not a normal act of a rational person. The people in the stores looked at me sadly as if I was worthy of pity.

But then I found a fellow sufferer and we spend over an hour discussing the various flavours and varieties of coffee. The effect that changing the grind has on the flavour and shot time. We also discussed the benefits of home roasting and experimenting with times etc. etc. and he roasts commercially but has a coretto at home. I was reluctantly drawn away by the ever suffering spouse. As I was leaving I saw his wife looking at him sadly (and they sell freshly roasted coffee beans). He was making himself another ristretto. :
I ask you all to take care it does appear that good coffee & CoffeeSnobery is addictive ;D ;D
