@screwlisp Cold brew coffee: Very good, much too slow a process for my junkie ass.

We don't say "long black" that's just a double Americano. I'm not a fan of the Americano type, straight-up espresso without milk bothers my stomach. I either have a strong drip, French press/pour-over, or if I'm out I'll get a latte or cappucino.

@mdhughes So people do say Americano? I wonder how this was a blindspot for me. I thought there was "coffee" and "long black".

@screwlisp It's like "walking simulator", a derogatory term that got accepted by the community. Starbucks sells a *LOT* of Americanos.

People who do have cast-iron stomachs can treat espresso as "drip but better".

Note espresso machines didn't really catch on in the US until late '80s, early '90s. A friend got his early, & made over half a thermos. Drank it at the pool, went into shock & had to get his stomach pumped.

@mdhughes what I have to say as I polish off this bottle of cold brewed coffee is it really makes your head spin about half an hour into your cups.
@screwlisp @mdhughes Oh? Howcome?

I was just remarking that its effect doesn't feel like drinking too-much-more-conventional-coffee.
@mdhughes
@screwlisp @mdhughes Is it milder?
@lispi314
Well, the taste is much less bitter, though if you read the link, not having any discernable grounds, it is oddly thick. And while not coffee-shakes-inducing, I did have a medium range more head-spinning-feeling experience. The smoothness makes it easy to drink a whole bottle without really thinking about it.
@mdhughes
@screwlisp @mdhughes Ah, good to know.
