Last weeks thread here

Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

    Haha well I don’t go to cafes because they do coffee better than I do. I also don’t go to cafes because they do better food than I do.

    Sounds a bit like you’re running a cafe yourself

      Crickey, that’s an interesting response. I guess I should ask, why do you go there then?

      I was ready to take on a cafe about 10 years back, but the business owners still wanted full control of how the cafe was run, so my answer was no.

        The same reason I go to the pub instead of drinking at home! Because that’s where everyone else is drinking 😆

        I guess for a cafe there’s also the benefit of not having to cook. I don’t often find anything in a cafe that I couldn’t make better myself. And by better I mean more in line with my own tastes, which aren’t necessarily objectively better.

          I fully understand the social aspects of your comments. That said, your coffee made from your own machine will be a bit more personal and need to be as best as possible aligned to your personal taste.
