Coffeewank!
This is an example of the wailing and gnashing of teeth that can ensue when you take coffee too seriously. Or, depending on which side you take, what happens when you don't take it seriously enough.

Jeff Simmermon of the And I Am Not Lying blog wanted an iced triple espresso from Murky Coffee in DC. He's informed that it's against Murky's policy to serve iced espresso, and when he orders the espresso and a cup of ice, he's told that "What you’re about to do … that’s really, really Not Okay." Simmermon takes exception to the barista's attitude, posts about it on his blog, and also shows the tip he left at Murky. The comments explode, some taking sides with Simmermon, others with the barista; the blog post ends up  linked on BoingBoing; and the owner of Murky responds with a highly unambiguous "Fuck you, Jeff Simmermon".

Insert joke here about everyone needing to lay off the caffeine.

While I am sympathetic to the "NUUU U B RUININ UR COFFEE" crowd (despite that I like my cream with sugar and coffee), if the guy wants his fucking iced espresso, fer cryin' out loud, give him his iced espresso!

I love Murky's coffee, but the barista dude should have just told the customer why and explained about the Americano originally, and no one would have had to be butthurt.

That's a whoooole lot of butthurt going around. Simmermon was kind of an ass (to say the least), but the owner isn't exactly making himself look any better.

While I certainly won't bemoan you your right to free-speech, I have to respond to you in your own dialect: F*@k you, Jeff Simmermon. Considering your public threat of arson, you'll understand when I say that if you ever show your face at my shop, I'll punch you in your dick.

Respectfully,
Nick
Owner, murky coffee



This man is now my hero.

The anti-snobbery against coffee is why coffee remains so bad, why consumption in many countries is relatively low and why coffee will continue to be pretty awful in all but a handful of places. I can’t understand why it is shameful to want better, expect better or why coffee can’t be more than just bitter caffeinated dish water.
Well, someone has never been outside the US...

And here we have one of the few advantages of getting your caffeine fix via soda. I have never had anyone tell me that I'm making or drinking my Diet Coke wrong, and I don't think anyone's a cola snob.

I was following this on Metafilter and BoingBoing and thinking that the balance of assholishness was pretty much even, but your ETA has firmly and permanently shifted the balance. Yes, Nick, you are, without a doubt, the most assholish of assholes, and in this situation that's a real triumph.

Awesome.

When I first read the OP, I thought it said, "I just ordered my usual summertime pick-me-up: a triple shot of espresso dumped over rice." And thought, dude, rice? WTF? Ewwwwwww!

Also love this, from one of the links:
"Pouring espresso over ice ruins the crema, the golden brown top layer of an espresso shot that not only gives espresso the majority of its flavor and sweetness, but is also the marker of a true espresso, in a way that using an espresso in an iced Americano does not. Destroying the crema results in a beverage that lacks the flavor that many people (to name a few, the farmers, roasters and baristas) have worked very hard to create."

Pouring your espresso over ice makes a hard-working farmer cry. You may as well kick a puppy while you're at it.

None of this makes any sense to me, so I'm just going to assume that pouring a triple shot of espresso over ice is like the first step in a ritual to awaken Cthulhu or something. Man, I'd be pretty mad if a customer tried to do that in my store. Trying to expose mankind to unspeakable horror is really, really Not Okay.

I'll just sit here wondering about what's wrong about pouring espressos over ice (most popular summer coffee in my country). I'd give this barista a heart attack, since I always ask for an espresso with milk, then add sugar to it, and then pour it hot in a glass with ice.

As far as non-Spaniards definitely not getting espressos with ice, the winner definitely was the French restaurant that served my mum an espresso with one ice cube floating in it. I admit that my broken French might have been at fault too, but I'd love to know what they were thinking when they did that.

Well now I want an iced latte from my favourite cafe, where they somehow manage to layer the espresso, milk and ice so that it looks and tastes like a glorious caffeinated cocktail.

Stupid work being on the wrong side of the city. :(

Suddenly, I appreciate 'my' baristas even more. We love each other dearly (I them because they provide me with my sorely needed coffeine, they me because I contribute approximately 50% of their income), and I get these stamps you usually get only for coffee to go (get 10 and you get a free coffee) on beer. It is glorious.

No dick punching, either, which I really appreciate.

No modifications to the Classic Cappuccino. No questions will be answered about the $5 Hot Chocolate (during the months we offer it). No espresso in a to-go cup.

Someone please explain the reasoning for all three of these things because I do not understand anything that is being said here.

Why in the hell is the Hot Chocolate five god damn dollars and why will no questions be answered about it? What if I'm in a hurry and I want espresso? What if I want a hazelnut Cappuccino?

From the BoingBoing comments:

Imagine, a worker taking pride in one's creation. THE FIEND.

It's nice to have pride in your work, but I can't help but feel that pride should always be tempered with a sense of proportion. Especially when your creation is destined to be in somebody's bladder in a few minutes anyway.

But the bit that really made me WTF isn't really wank-related; it's this nugget from the OP, reliving the terrible Denial of Iced Espresso:

The whole world turned brown and chunky for a second. Flecks of corn floated past my pupils, and it took me a second to blink it all away.

Brown and chunky? Flecks of corn?! Dude, that's disgusting.

What is it about these niche businesses that attracts these socially-retarded Comic-Book-Guy type personalities? We avoided you in high school because you were creepy as hell and we certainly aren’t going put up with being lectured to by you about your insane coffee-serving policies.

This made me lol and feel vaguely disloyal at the same time.
