  • No. “Salty” is not a recognized coffee note in the same way that it wouldn’t be for wine.

    Look for medium roast Arabica beans grown at an altitude at least 1500m (in general the higher the better) . You are generally fine with Colombian beans. Invest in a good (not blade) coffee grinder (you can get decent burr grinders for about 90 bucks). Grind only what you’re going to use immediately. Make sure the water is just a little off boiling. Brew in your favorite equipment (mine is French Press). Sip and enjoy. The difference between good coffee and the over roasted dreck they sell in Starbucks is night and day.





  • I’ve heard people who say the same thing as you but they drive a $60,000 pick up which they replace every 3 years. My wife and I drive a 12 year old Honda Fit that suits us fine. We’d rather spend that money on flying in business class whenever we fly long haul. Your money, your choice. For us enjoying the actual travel part of the vacation is important - more important than driving a fancy car, so that’s where we put our money.

    Also if you plan ahead and look for deals you can find business tickets that are only 2-3 times the price of economy. Still a big chunk of money but not outrageous.
