Twist of lime? Onion bagel with cream cheese?

I swear you Europeans ruin everything.

So many people order milk in their coffee that you have to raise the price of coffee? Then you're no longer running a coffee shop, you milk man!
Onion bagel with cream cheese sounds nice.

What? Blasphemy. If the coffee isn't good enough to be drank on its own, then it is not good enough to drink!

1) That's a line from Boondock Saints.

2) It means black coffee.

Didn't know people got that jumped up over coffee :D
This is the age of the Internet. People get jumped up over dog sweater fashion.

That was a good read Swag :tup:

My local coffee shop just put up their prices by 50 cent, to cover the increase in cost for the milk! Absolutely absurd, they're still cheaper than any other cafes close by, but that bangs of a rip off in my books.
If you order something without milk, they had better kept the price flat. Otherwise they're full of colon blow cappuccino.

real men drink it black
I almost always do.

Dirty secret is that most coffee shops are really milk bars. At least in America. They serve far more milk by volume and by cost of ingredients than they do coffee.

I love that it's subtitled in Portuguese. :lol:

Though one of my favorite all-time coffee quotes came from one of my wife's relatives in Portuguese. The Portuguese sweeten their espresso something fierce. I drink it black. And so her great great uncle tells me, in Portuguese, "My life is too bitter for black coffee."

You have to know the dour Portuguese persona of suffering and saudade to fully get the joke. But it was pretty hilarious.

Essentially an espresso with additional hot water to thin it out. Because Americans generally don't understand the point of drinking or eating something if it doesn't come in sizes as big as your head.

Coffee and cigarettes - don't get it and never will.
Not one of his better movies, IMO.

So like the regular coffee that comes in big cups? It looks like he meant just black coffee.

It's sort of how to "cheat" on making an American-style brewed coffee but with the equipment and ingredients more typical to an Italian coffee bar (i.e., espresso).
