Does Youtube keep suggesting this quiffy coffee bastard to them?



Why would I ever click on a video to watch him rating tiramisu after shovelling it into his Gareth Malone face? Why would anyone?

Bastard.

I confess to watching some of his Diary of a CEO interview based on the clickbait title (I don't even care for Diary of a CEO, honest!). He did sound like a twat.

In fairness to coffee bastard, he did a video where he opened and made coffee from some hundred year old beans, and it was pretty funny and informative. They were at the time expensive coffee beans from I think Harrods, and even if you take into account how old they were, there were broken beans and unripe beans and all sorts of quality control issues.

A nice antidote to "everything is shit now, back in the day everything was better quality and not fucked around with.". No, back in the day you were required to consume constant rotten food because you didn't know any better, even if you were Queen Hitler, and about half of all of everything didn't work properly or was significantly harder to use. Fuck off.

The F Bomb

Only ever heard about this guy on here. The guy is massively autistic about coffee and that's no problem. My main question is how much coffee does he drink because that stuff isn't good for you. I should know, I drink lot of coffee! 😂😂😂

someone please delete this person from YouTube

Yeah I got recommended one this guys videos earlier in the week.  I hate judge a book by its cover but I thought this definitely looks like a coffee bastard - I would have gone with Richard Osman over Malone though.

Now I like coffee, but this guy - this guy really likes coffee!

The bit that confuses me about this prick is how his set 'kitchen' has no entry point.

That bothers me more than him reviewing wendy house children's toys as if they were real coffee making machinery tbh.

It's all very noncey, and basically the same as audiophile bullshit.

I get very nice beans from Thompsons and put them in an aeropress. I won't answer questions at this time.

I wanted to look him up but forgot his name, good to know google isn't quite as fucked as they say:



I do like this video of the spoddy little shit pre-grey thoughh:

I don't mean to disparage baristas but I'm confused as to how one could be better than the next? Bean selection, roasting etc fair enough, but making it in one of those machines they have looks to be a piece of piss. What am I missing?

Them machines is where they all go wrong tbh. Espresso is a pox.

I'm waiting for the 'coffee is actually very bad for you' trend to come in. It feels like every few years it might pop by but then it gets overtaken by energy drinks, vapes or weed.

I think that it mostly emerges from the need for distraction and sublimation, the coffee industry needing to somehow submerge this:



Times 26 million people, under layers of Roasting techniques, Ceramic burrs, Needle tampers, and Freeze distilled milk-cream.

I mean you'd go MAD otherwise wouldn't you?

That happens regularly, people straight-edge caffeine loads without a coherent argument beyond 'I think it's probably bad'.

If you buy your machine from Richer Sounds that's a no-no.
