I make aeropress at home, been my go-to for years. My taste in beans never really left the 90s though I do enjoy a fruity brew once in a while.

I know where the best dry cortado w/ oat-milk is in the Minneapolis - St Paul area.

A soft spot for a not-too-sweet miel.

Help me plan my “can’t regret not doing that” coffee list?

Edit to answer some similar questions all at once: I’m not going to talk about my medical situation here, but yes, it was at the advice of a doctor. Decaf is a possibility, but I e been down that road before and it tastes like disappointment, even with today’s improvements; maybe once in a while, though.

    Something ridiculous like kopi luwak, or siphon brewed coffee.

    Places that have those probably have other ridiculous things, so ask the baristas for recommendations.

      Love this. I know just the place, and hard to believe I haven’t been there yet. I wonder if they make a cortado

        Cortado doesn’t sound that difficult to make. It sounds like a variation on an Americano.

          it’s closer to a cappuccino, really. If you can make good espresso (I mean, really good espresso) and are an old hand at the foamer, sure. Yes, it’s a simple thing, like olive oil and bread, with a wide range of possible outcomes that still fit the general description.
