Not Starbucks 

Happiness is writing with my Lamy 2000 on HP 32 pound laserjet paper with a cup of french-press coffee on a lazy Sunday morning.

The first thought, a Charlie Brooker's article. The part about the Malaysian street food in particular.

Then it hit me. I know what a Lamy 2000 is. I kind of know what the HP 32 lb paper is, although I'd like someone to show me the way to translate the silly American weight measurement into something consistent. But what in the carrot's name is 'French press coffee'?

It turns out a French press is a coffee-making device. In which ground coffee is brewed in hot water. It has a plunger thingie which is used to separate the brew from the ground coffee once it's done. That's it. What the hell is so special about it??

The question led to another interesting discovery. In retrospect, it's not surprising, but, being no coffee lover, I've never stopped to consider it. That disgusting filter coffee from those little dripping machines is the most popular coffee style in the US. So what's a proper American snob to do, but go a-rediscovering the proper ways to make coffee. And hey, it's called 'French'! That fact alone should make this kind of person orgasmically shudder with his own wonderfulness. On a lazy Sunday morning, or at any other time.

I've said it before, but I think it's worth repeating. This world needs a nuclear war.
