You need a scientific study to tell you that?
Anyone who's drank both can tell you that.

.... no... the chemical analysis backs up what I said earlier.

They do actually have proper cups if you venture inside


This mornings mocha and egg club from coffee bean and tea leaf.

That looks pretty insipid, I must say.

Are you on some sort of albino diet?

On top of that, Robusta has 50% more caffeine.

And caffeine does not taste good.

It's bitter...hence bitter coffee.

Naw. If you live in Thailand, support the mountain tribes and local growers and industry. Black Canyon is one and fvckin' better than Starbucks for half the price.

Every heard of sugar ? I usually buy Arabica, but there's some Robusta brands I dig.

Bullshit. Drinking fresh coffee does not instantly make someone aware of the compounds present the drink

Oh FFS, they don't need to be aware of the compounds present in the drink to know which one is better.
Guess what.
Prior to your posting the breakdown of the compounds I was completely unaware of them, yet SOMEHOW I still knew that coffee brewed from ground beans is ALWAYS better than instant.
Amazing eh. I knew instant was better before I even knew why. (and I think most people do)

Starbuck's instant is decent enough for me to drink and I was surprised. I have yet to find another. I use a French Press, let it sit for 5 mins, and add 1/2 a teaspoon of brown sugar.

You haven't lived until you've had Turkish or Cuban coffee. It makes espresso seem like a kiddy drink, and yes "sigh" it contains sugar.

I hear the Irish do a good coffee.

Christ, now even drinking fucking coffee is an expression of machismo on this place.

I live in the middle east. I've drunk boatloads of turkish coffee - when it's served you frequently have no choice really.

It tastes like bat guano.

But I'm glad to find out it means I'm not a 'kiddy'.

Heh...At the first sip, you know whether it works for you or not...But sometimes it helps to know what's in the brew...

Recall a time when my Brazilian friends mixed up a brew of the strongest shit possible and had it in a huge cooking pot on the stove...They "forced" me to take a thimbleful...Meanwhile they were babbling on in Portuguese and laughing...

Later they told me that one of them had spent a lot of time in a submarine and it would've driven them all crazy under the water for so long if they hadn't added acid to the blend...

Think Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea and that "doink" sound that resonates frequently...Enough to drive one mad if claustrophobic...Can't imagine it on acid...

Anyhow, that was some powerful coffee they had brewing on the stove...A witch's brew, indeed...
