My entire household dumped Windows 10!

People go nuts over espresso in America. You go to a coffee shop, and all you will hear is the obnoxiously noisy espresso milk frothing machines. People will pay way more then they should for a cup of coffee when it comes to milk frothing espresso. Were talking like 12-dollar coffee's for some folks, its crazy.

I think some people just don't realize that they can make coffee at home, a simple coffee grinder, or if your lazy, you can buy already grounded coffee that doesn't taste as good. Of course, if you watch TV shows like All Rise, they push the perspective that Lawyers never have any time to make coffee at home, so they have to go to the local coffee shop every day.

I don't know how realistic that is, but then again, if your a lawyer, your loaded money wise, so you can afford 12-dollar coffees. Well, let me rephraze that, your loaded once you pay off your student debt that you owe to become a lawyer. Cause lord knows, in America, student debt can destroy your way of life, as much as help you create one.

I am not sure if you got this news about the price hike of Brazilian coffee beans.

I read a quite an interesting user's comment at Register, my favourite on-line British tech newspaper.

Apparently the most economical way to obtain a freshly roasted coffee is to purchase unroasted green beans by bulk then roast them to your liking with an electrical popcorn machine.

I have not tested it myself, but seriously considering trying it out since I have this supplier from Bordeaux who sells green coffee beans.

In Germany, it is normal to drink coffee with milk or cream and sugar. But not everyone does that. I like my coffee with oat milk and sweetener. My husband drinks it black (without anything).

Yes, I know.
Before this pandemic, we visited Germany quite often.

Oh, wait.
Aren't we talking about switching from Windows to Linux?
Do I need to create a new thread about coffee? :sweat_smile:

Jep, we went a bit offtopic in here. But it's great to getting you guys to know!

Actually if you ask me or @StarTreker about coffee, we could go on about it all day long :wink:

May I ask where you have been?

You want back on topic? OK, here's back on topic. This is how you dump Windows.

There, problem solved. Now back to your regularly scheduled program of Zorin Linux.

My husband is a musician.

This is pretty cool.
Dresden is a nice city. Been there once. 15 Years ago I been in France but I can't remember where. But the people were really nice.

My found memory is a coffee served at a German cafe.
Being a coffee lover I quickly found that it was way more economical to order coffee by a pot (KΓ€nnchen) rather than a cup.

In Germany, people are crazy about coffee. Here you can find coffee in almost every store where you can eat or drink. Even in pubs.

Coffee Cantata is my favourite light hearted piece by JS Bach.

I used to call that "cement dust" and avoid it. I prefer a lesser processed dairy equivalent. i.e. milk or cream.

Hello Zaba! How are we doing today?

Over here, milk is too watered down for coffee unless you use Whole Milk. And I don't drink dairy milk like I did when I was a kid eating bowls of cereal lol.

Too much dairy does not agree with me lol. But, I do like the creamer, its good. I tell you what I can't do, drinking coffee black, thats nasty, I don't understand people who can do it.

My dad only drank coffee black, but he was used to it. He served in the Navy on a Destroyer ship, he told me coffee was a luxury back then, and drinking it black was just a thing you did back then. lol

Ohhhhh, and I had to think about it a second cause you called it cement dust. And thats when I realized, you are talking about the dry powdered creamer. Oh no, I don't use that, I use the liquid creamer.

Isn't that just re-hydrated cement dust.
Fair enough if milk disagrees with you, I know some who use Soya Milk as alternative.
I would go for black coffee if no cow juice is available.
