I saw that one coming. They all

You know it, kid!

I know of two people who have poured Dunkin Donuts coffee out onto the ground immediately after tasting it.
I did it too quite some time ago and y'all know a cup of coffee is a major financial undertaking for me.

Unless I am out of town, I always make my own coffee.
Its the easiest thing to make in the kitchen after toasting bread. I find buying made coffee a big ripoff

That can be said about many if not most food/beverage items. It is generally quite easy to make things that taste good with minimal effort.

Coffee can be tough. I just cannot get iced coffee like when I am out. I am getting close with the cold-brew, but cannot make it look like the coffee-porn I see.

I’m not a coffee drinker other than the occasional iced coffee (side note: what we call iced coffee is much different to what you do but I like both) so not up on exactly how to do it. From talking to people who drink it daily though it seems to be quite a personal thing, they are quite particular with what they want. Perhaps certain preferences are more difficult to replicate?

I like good coffee, but also have been known to drink the burned scrapings of day-old cold coffee heated in a microwave.

I do cold brew. Some of it is simple mixture and grounds. The crazy thing is that SBUX is not he best, the best I have found is a C-Store chain in these parts. I think another part is when you cold brew you have to add water after as it is very strong. I hate weakening things like this as part of my nature, but it might be what I am missing.

I have actually thought of on the next layoff getting a job at SBUX simply to learn how to make this stuff, but not sure I could keep up the pace they do at my age.

I'm sure nobody cares, but Brett Kavanaugh is just three months older than me. He certainly went, or allegedly went, to a lot more high school parties than I did.

Senator Grassley had a difficult time starting the hearing. He was interrupted by Senator Harris, Senator Feinstein, Senator Booker, Senator Hirono, Senator Leahy, I think Senator Whitehouse.
