Why don't you and Leroy just hang out at Burger King together drinking coffee like old men, jerkfaces.

I was in Guatemala a few months ago and supposedly they have the "World's Best Coffee" and it was just coffee to me.
Good coffee is never bitter, watery, burnt. It has multiple layers of flavor and is strong on the taste buds and the caffeine. I feel like you know it when you taste it, at least I do. Not that unlike being able to tell the difference between chocolate.

You drink wine and you can probably tell the difference between good and bad wines. I think a similar thing goes on with coffee.

Well, it's bitter, but it's a good bitter not a harsh bitter. Just like a good IPA is very bitter, but it's pleasant if the hop profile is well-balanced.

Whenever I've had it, it's been pretty good.

The worst coffee I know of is what I drink every morning at my office. I really need to start bringing my own, or drinking at home before I leave.

Add beer to that list and you've got the holy trinity of liquids.

I make a cup in the morning, and drink it on the way. Unless I stop for a croisswhatever, then I get a cup there.

kinda like in "elf"?

I haven't seen that movie. Except one scene. Where he is in the board room all excited to see a midget and the midget gets mad.
I've seen the movie in its entirety and don't remember one single scene with any clarity...
