GlennR Nov 2019 9:05am, 7 Nov 2019 46,128 posts	Quote Pin GlennR On toast, certainly, with olive oil and harissa. ‘Artisan’ coffee is invariably shite. There’s nothing better than Illy if you’re going to run it through an espresso machine.

However, I do believe most of the hipster scum couldn't tell 'artisan' coffee from bogwater in a blindfold test, and given the current tendency to drown everything in milk the taste of the coffee doesn't matter much. As it happens, I also believe that people's fondness for starchy, sugary, fatty glurp shows that they have forgotten how to taste anything properly. Chewing and tasting carefully, all that they would notice is that it coats the tongue like emulsion paint. There's more flavour in a well-made pork pie than in a whole shopfull of cupcakes.
