Arno Holschuh, barista at Blue Bottle Coffee in San Francisco, discusses the big and the little: the surface area of the bean, the thousand small cuts that will kill your espresso, and why Starbucks is not so bad.

    Yeah he really knows his stuff. Coffee brewing is an art form, and I love how he compares it to brewing beer.

  • c(♥)  coffee! coffee! coffee! c(♥)

  • I heard filtered coffee is healthier than espresso. Have you heard anything about it? I wasn't sure. I read an article somewhere.

  • @12345678tube The earth is full of pleasures such as coffee for us to enjoy to it's fullest. That is life. Not working an office, although that is great if you wish to do so, but don't bag on people who choose to work for something that they love and gives their life colour.

  • @12345678tube he is not being a snob, he has a passion about coffee, there is nothing wrong with that. Some people enjoy Hockey, stamp collecting, watching tv or many other hobbies that others might see as pointless, but it doesn't make them so. at least his passion isnt LSD or cocaine haha

  • o god blue bottle is the best!

  • is he married? I want to wake up to a perfect shot of expresso every morning. :p lol

  • What a goddamn snob! His respect is based on coffee orders? Loser. I enjoy good food and drink, I really do. However, when you get this into such a pointless thing, you gotta ask yourself what the hell happened to your life?

  • cat poop,cat poop is all i have to say

  • Hess station coffee is the best!!!
