There Is Nothing Worse Than Weak Coffee
First, I would like to start off by admitting that I have unfortunately become a drone that needs a cup of coffee in the morning to jump start my day at work. I never really thought that I would become a regular coffee drinker, but I'll be damned if the stuff doesn't help me shake the cobwebs in the morning. I have come to prefer a darker Colombian roast that is potent without being bitter. Marilyn will use this opportunity to call me a coffee snob, but I likes what I likes. Don't forget that I used to be a barista and have acquired a taste for something that is smooth and tasty, not burnt or watered down. That being said, while proctoring an ACT exam, I was provided with horribly weak coffee that should be illegal. I didn't go to Starbucks because I figured someone would be able to brew a pot with competence, but sadly, I was mistaken. What exactly is the point of brewing a pot if it is going to be weak and not provide the jolt that some of us expect and desire? Is this too much for a brother to ask?

By contrast, what about the unrepresented masses that feel that they are having to be subjected to your 'jolt'? Perhaps they are deserving of the weaker brew.
You are a snob. But we apparently have similar taste in caffeinated bev's
Fine, paint me with the brush of being a snob, but sometimes a brother needs a little help waking up to serve the youth of our fine nation.
As a parent, I don't really find those to be encouraging words
Coffee snob and Starbucks in the same post? You're such a poseur! I'll let you entertain the thought of being a coffee "snob" when you start roasting your own beans, or at least mail ordering your own roasted beans.
