Millennials created "coffee culture".

When I was a kid cafes weren't really much of a thing outside of a handful of European countries. Now they are fucking everywhere. There's three of them across the road from me. And I live in the fucking suburbs. The convenience store changed into being a cafe because there's more money in that.

What backwater, middle of nowhere, podunk shitole did you grow up in? Starbucks was already a massive company featured in the first Austin Powers, which came out in 1997, when the average millennial was about 12.

This isn't the first, second, third, or even tenth thread I've seen recently crying about coffee. I can only assume it's the same OP trying to get that high of (You)s he got previously because this faux outrage is less organic than the shit they sell at Starbucks.

>>724680302
And that's specifically espresso/European influenced coffee culture, ignoring the coffee houses that have existed in America since the 19th century, when the average millennial was negative a hundred.

>>724680302

as a former slave to the bean, my gaming buddy(who was also enslaved to it) and i would basically meme about drinking coffee to each other and if he'd make a cup then i'd go make a cup and vice versa. it shared a shared "hobby" as dumb as that sounds but bean slaves make liking coffee a part of their personality even though they are dependent on it, or perhaps because they are dependent on it?

it's basically cigarettes for millennials.

On a similar note, I really fucking hate how some women like to talk about how much they love food. And not even in a "I'm a foodie" way, but just with these constant reminders about how they're just some fucking mindless pigs that only want to devour some shitty cake and then preferably go to sleep. Fuck them. Especially those ones that are clearly taking care of their diet while saying that shit.

There's a difference between "I'll go to the diner to get a coffee for a penny." and "Let's go to that cafe for our $10 coffee! They have a better blend and I have refined taste!"

Coffee at work used to be a big kettle and a tub of instant coffee. Now work places are spending tens of thousands on extravagant machines that can produce dozens of different types of coffees.

Drinking coffee has changed a lot.

Kind of like how video games mostly used to be just a thing some children did in their spare time and now it's a way of life for quite a large number of adults.

I was under the impression, or at least just made the assumption, that American coffee culture was a result of the rejection of British tea culture post- revolution. Admittedly, I've never bothered to research it, and it wouldn't explain coffee culture in Central and South America.

Huh I'll try it out thanks

>>724683017
Why not just eat a Tums after?

>>724683205
That's a myth. During the war people stopped drinking tea because America couldn't import any. After the war they could get tea again and went right back to drinking it more than coffee. It was like 100 years after the war of independence before Americans started drinking coffee more than tea.

choccy milk is objectively superior to coffee. you cannot prove me wrong

>>724683432
Untrue. Tea drinking was seen as treasonous after the rev until Japanese green tea made it cool again. Then ice tea was invented and that became mainstay tea culture but obviously didn’t supplant coffee

>>724683719
I can with ease. Choccy is not a thing that exists let alone an animal milk comes from

It wasn't created by Millenials, it actually just comes from Australia and New Zealand.
The modern expresso-focused western cafe gestated in Melbourne with the huge amount of Italian and Greek immigrants there after WW2. From there it spread to the rest of the Anglo world. It's why cafes in anglo countries are all relatively similar and yet distinct from European cafes. There's also objective historical markers such as McCafe starting in Melbourne and spreading like a plague.

>>724684316

No, refusing to buy bad coffee is not "the opposite of discriminating". They are literally discriminating against a certain product, hence why they pay more. Words do not just mean whatever you want them to mean.

Also, nobody on earth is retarded enough to fall for the idea that a REAL discerning customer actually wants the worst, cheapest example of something possible because they only care about price. Everyone knows intuitively how retarded that cope is, regardless of context. Except for you, I guess. Or maybe you genuinely just have no taste.

This is not true. The massive spike in popularity of cafes in Australia and New Zealand happened a good 60 years after the war. It is not a result of war immigrants from Europe. They had nothing to do with it.

Also, this shit is actually more popular in Australian and New Zealand than it is in Europe. It's being driven by the natives, not the European immigrants.

>>724684805
>The massive spike in popularity of cafes in Australia and New Zealand happened a good 60 years after the war
Just false in the major cities. Melbourne is littered with cafes that have been there for 60 years or more already, and it had very convincingly spread to inner Sydney and Wellington by the 80's. Ask anyone who grew up vaguely central in those cities.
>Also, this shit is actually more popular in Australian and New Zealand than it is in Europe. It's being driven by the natives, not the European immigrants.
Yes, but the origins were migrants serving it to "natives". Italian and greek immigration to Australia isn't even high these days. Again, anybody who comes from Melbourne should be well aware of the influence Lygon street cafes had.

>>724684673
i actually got curious and i checked for the top coffee brands in china and they are all brands from outside china so uh yeah
maybe they got deals to produce there and such, but it seems like some actually chinese competitors started popping up in the past decade or so but i feel like the fact that they only popped up this recently goes to show how little china cares for coffee in the first place

>>724684779
Neither coffee nor tea are really all that addictive.

The effects of coffee withdrawal for a heavy coffee drinker is maybe a very, very mild headache for a few hours.

Anyone claiming to be genuinely addicted to coffee is mostly talking shit. It's akin to when a fat person claims they're "addicted to eating junk food". It's not really a genuine addiction and any withdraw symptoms would be extremely mild and short-lived.

>>724685014
Physical addiction and psychological addiction are both real and measurable. You are talking about physical symptoms but the coffee addict and fat person are psychologically addicted

>>724685012
They also have like one beer brand. I think it’s more a function of their economic system that makes it hard for competition amongst multiple imports for non native products. Obviously there are about a billion noodle shops and duck (dog) cook pots

>>724685005
The number of cafes has more than doubled in the last 20 years. The population of the nation has not doubled.

>>724685014
You've never tried to quit caffeine after heavy drinking, clearly.
Intense irritability and tiredness are not "fake" symptoms because they aren't easy to objectively measure, they're clear as day and well documented.
>It's akin to when a fat person claims they're "addicted to eating junk food"
Also not as simple as just being untrue, though it's not a literally addiction. Your body does grow familiarity with the food that you eat and drive you to want more of it, whatever that food is. The microbe biome in your gut is going to naturally orient towards whatever you consume.
Junk food also builds a psychological addiction for what should be obvious reasons. Psychological addictions are as much of a problem as chemical dependency for any addict, arguably being THE root cause of any addiction.

Neither are really measurable but the only one that actually presents with observable symptoms is physical addiction so that's the only one we actually know is real. For psychological addiction we're just going by a claim "But I need it..." with no evidence to back that up.

>>724685276

>>724685256
Yeah, and now they're everywhere, which means there was already a lot of them 20 years ago.
They've doubled because they've spread out from the central urban areas to the rest of the country. It's not growth in fucking Melbourne's CBD that's caused cafes to double, it's the increasing spread to suburbs and regional towns. Also the population hasn't doubled, but it has increased by like 30%, which is not an insignificant factor.

That CBD has also MORE than doubled in workers in the past 20 years, let alone the people who live there.
That and likely an extent of counting a lot more "single expresso stand in the lobby of an office block" as a cafe. I can tell you, it had already reached comical levels of saturation a long time ago. I've lived a few kilometers away from there my entire life, and I'm fairly sure there's no more actual dedicated cafes these days. Hell it's quite possibly less after covid shuttered a bunch.

There are some instances were brainwaves exhibit relatively unique patterns and those are always linked to specific situations, e.g. sleep, but there's other instances where the brainwaves are not consistently observable nor specific to only one situation. We can see a change but we see that exact same change happen over a large number of circumstances that are all unrelated. Therefore we can't draw any conclusions from it. Welcome to science.

Physical dependency symptoms are not only observable but we can also largely explain the mechanism of them. It's not the same.

>with no evidence to back it up
There's plenty of evidence, what you're saying is that there's no proof.
Not being able to integrate information for which there is plenty of evidence yet no concrete proof is just retard shit. Anyone sane can look at the problem and know what it is, and doing so is important to actually fix the problem so we don't have societies full of fatties.

>>724686204
There's no such thing as proof. There is only ever evidence.

>>724686270
More semantics.
Stop ignoring shit that's obviously true because you don't like it.

>>724686008
I found it ironic that Tsingtao was treated as unwanted swill but fucking PABST BLUE RIBBON is treated like some godly premium product. Regardless baiju is overwhelmingly dominate to an insane degree.

>>724686307
>obviously true
But it's not. You may believe it is but that doesn't make it so.

The only "addictions" we have very strong evidence for is psychopaths who are addicted to murder. Being able to cum in your pants with no physical stimulation just from describing a murder you committed is pretty strong evidence you might have an overwhelming compulsion to kill. Whining about how much you really like ice-cream and really, really hate not getting to eat it anymore is not strong evidence you're compelled to eat ice-cream. You probably just like ice-cream.

>>724686386
Tsingtao is also seen as "low class" for some reason. Usually people from "Dongbei region" drink it. At least that's the stereotype. Baijou has been around for ages and like Japan's sake has a culture around it. In Gujian the first game the characters are named after different ancient Baijou brands.

>>724680015
I own a cafe with my wife and it's given us a genuinely lifechanging amount of income. At this time about 3 years ago I was about to be homeless and she was barely able to keep up with taxes on the house she got from her parents. Now we're living comfortably, got both our shit-ass cars repaired up to a drivable state, and can actually spend money on our hobbies again without feeling like we're burning our lifeblood.

They're popular because they fucking work as a business model.

>They're popular because they fucking work as a business model.
You've got it backwards, sir.

They work as a business model because they're popular. The question is "Why are they popular? When did they start becoming popular?" Do you have to answer to that?

>>724680015
>Millennials created "coffee culture".
no I believe it was closer to 1685 when people switched from low strength beer to coffee as the go to social drink during the day.
you gigantic faggot.

>>724686459
It is obvious when you don't ignore the evidence. None of which is enough to conclusively prove something, but all points to the same truth.
>muh fatties just eat less
This doesn't even solve anything. Wishful thinking about how people will just "be better" instead of actually understanding a problem and looking for solutions is the most retarded midwit shit on this fucking planet and is the root cause of almost every problem. That's the reason this matters, not obesity as a specific topic. You do nothing for yourself or for your society with this method of thinking. All it does is keep you as an angry retard and stops society from developing actual solutions.

There not being concrete proof that causally links two things doesn't mean that we cannot look at evidence, develop theories, and then test them in practice. That is how things improve, not screaming "NO NO IT ISN'T REAL NOTHING IS REAL WE SHOULDN'T LOOK FOR SOLUTIONS FOR THIS OBJECTIVE PROBLEM" with your fingers in your ears.

Unlike sake though it has zero global penetration. Sake is known and can be found as a high end product world wide. People know about soju from Korea. A billion Chinese pound baiju but no one else gives a fuck about it. It’s probably too close to vodka as a product and vodka already has a dominant position that China can’t break into I dunno. Even shit Asian beers like cass, San mig tiger and Chang I can find plentiful exports of but Tsingtao is very rare, even in china

>>724686692
>Bruh why do people want to go to a communal location in their town, interact with neighbors, and unwind?
The only reason this isn't obvious to you is because you're deeply autistic and lack self-awareness of that, so you can't understand the way you view social interaction is not normal.

>>724686692
Society-wide trends don't come from nowhere. Availability is the single biggest driver of popularity of anything.

>>724680015
Cafes are incredibly comfy places to enjoy a good drink and either talk with a friend or even just read/work a little on your notebook. Of course, you'd need to live in a first world country and not have a country full of arabs, niggers or spics.

>>724680302
Midwest kid born in Kentucky, moved to Michigan, Illinois and now I'm in my thirties in Kansas. Local towns out here in Tornado Alley and the Bible Belt didn't really have cafes at all, but I see them in Lawrence and Kansas City. because they're pretty populated places and filled with teens to people my age. It's entirely about population, social circles and the localized traffic of folks ready to get a latte or coffee before their next thing if they aren't chilling or doing remote work there. You're not gonna see a cafe out in the middle of bumfuck nowhere, but I can imagine this holds true across Europe as well; closer you are to population centers, the more frequently Starbucks is gonna be around every other length of road.
Fuck, posts like these remind me too many Americans don't actually GET the scale of the United States and how much of is empty farmlands, towns and suburbs without a greater structure.

You know your stuff! I'm not a drinker, but my foreigner buddies when they drank Baijou not only acted strange, but became incredibly forgetful and confused. Sake I hear is pleasant in both taste and the "buzz" doesn't alter a person so much like Vodka or Baijou. I wonder if that has a part to play in it too? I'd often hear them say the next day "I'm never drinking Baijou again." Somehow they always ended up drinking it because of their business partners.

>>724686831
>Even shit Asian beers like cass, San mig tiger and Chang I can find plentiful exports of but Tsingtao is very rare, even in china
Tsingtao is relatively common here, while the others I've never even seen. I live in a white country with a lot of Chinese.

>>724687116
Eh I’ve just spent way too many years of my life in east Asia. To the point a strong chu hai in Japan is my fave drink but that’s derivative from sochu. I don’t believe drink x fucks you up too differently from drink y other than alcohol content and drinkability. Flavored baiju, soju, and chu hai you can pound like Gatorade before you even know you are tipsy, maybe that’s why people hate it the next morning. Japanese vending machines every 8ft with hot black coffee cans are a great way to get functional after a wretched hangover though

>>724687043
>browns cant drink milk
>with coffee

you literally cannot even invent retardation greater than white americans who think they know anything about coffee. the entire rest of the world laughs their fucking ass off at you whenever you talk about food and drink

>>724687423
Imagine being this uncultured

>>724687380
That makes sense, in China if you're business partners with Chinese business men like with Japan they keep filling your cup up again and again. I think that's the trap they get into and then drink too much. I was there for different reasons so I never had to be tested like my peers. So they really do have coffee vending machines!? I thought that was some anime hocus pocus.

>>724687503
I mean you can get coffee cans from vending machines in America too now. Japan has just had the ability to get multiple brands and styles of coffee both hot and cold from vending machines for like 150 yen for 20 years now and they are literally everywhere, you will trip over one while trying to avoid another. Drinking business culture is very much an Asian thing. Japan it’s ritual during business (like 3 little sake cups at defined intervals) then get drunk to celebrate after your deal. China it’s get you drunk before/during the deal to try and take advantage of you. Korea it’s more of a status thing, you go and drink every single night and see who can stack up the most soju bottles and still be functional, that person gets the most respect

>>724687732
I'm going to be on the look out for them in the west next time I'm there. I think I prefer the Japanese way if I were put into that position. The Chinese one sounds about right. I know next to nothing about Korean culture when I think about it.

>>724687851
As far as I know everything about Korea is status. Size of your phone, your clothes, car, girlfriend, watch, it feels kinda I authentic and forced. To be fair to them I spend all of my time in Seoul and busan and I’m sure the whole country isn’t that way

>>724687978
Sounds like North Eastern China. When you head out west in China they're way more wholesome and chill.

>>724687851
>>724687978
Korea has a very strong coffee culture.
I live in Japan and enjoy coffee here, but I visited Seoul recently and where were more cafes around. And what would a big coffee here in Japan counted as normal in Korea.

>>724688080
Fair enough I’ve never had occasion to go to west or been permitted there on official business
>>724688086
Nice. I also base in Japan but must confess im a bit of an alcy so when in Seoul I get distracted by lunch drinks at the random erdinger bar and then of course am doing soju every night with my hosts

>>724688086
That's cool, Korea is totally different from China in that regard.
>>724688202
China is a mixed bag. A lot of foreigners get really pissed off here because of the rudeness. Especially if you're around the Bejing area the rudeness is even worse. I've had the most fun in the western side of China. Sichuan and those areas.

>>724688286
My main experience with china has been Hong Kong until about 2018 which I know is quite different then mainly Beijing and sometimes qingdao and Shanghai. The beverage experience has largely been the same. In Hong Kong I frequently was about without any host but of course in those years it was a barely supervised British city. Beijing and others recently much more cleaved with ccp minders due to nature of work

WHO WANTS COFFEE

>>724688424
I never went to Hong Kong... I missed out on it when it was a colony. I hear it's quite a bit different now. It's hard to avoid having a handler when you're near the capital. I ditched mine on a train, and they were pretty mad. Then they realized I'm not an average tourist but rather there because of retreats and things. They eased up with watching me, but I did have to register with the police anywhere I went.

>>724681668
Powerful.

afaik back then coffee is something you drink to kill the morning sleepiness or any sleepiness now it evolved into some pretentious shits where kids spend big money for expensive coffee which they can't even tell the difference with some cheap ass instant coffee and make it like it's a trendy lifestyle hence they're broke af

>>724688540
Hong Kong was one of my most favorite places on the planet. A truly unique and eclectic and exotic place that also wasn’t retarded because the British had set the right rules and they had a LOT of money. After the ccp started violating human rights a gogo in 2018 we stopped official engagement. Right now you can still go as a private citizen and have a great time, it’s still a major banking and commerce hub and the commies don’t want to ruin that. But they are gradually cracking down and introducing absolutist policies that will make it a homogenized commie shithole in 50 years. Singapore is Hong Kong lite but it’s also just too clean and well governed to have the same authentic feel you get in kowloon

Coffee is best when it's just straight black. Dumping a ton of sugar or milky foam in there, shit, just drink soda if you NEED your drink to be sweet. Same thing with GWEEN TEA you bury the flavor if you pour all sorts of other stuff in there. Black coffee and gween tea that's how it should be.

I don't even like coffee but Bourdain has no room to criticize people who want good coffee since he himself is a hugely pretentious food snob.

He acts like he's too good for fast food yet he won't dare say anything bad about a place like Jollibees (which is honestly pretty mediocre) just because it's foreign and Filipinos love it. He sings the praises of In-N-Out because it's trendy to like it and then like a pretentious douche he says "I'd tell you what Animal Style is, but then I'd have to kill you" as if he's in on some big insider secret.

He was the type to try to act cool by going "yeah we did some crazy stuff back in my day, you kids wouldn't know about it" because he smoked a weak joint or something at a party.
