Turkish?

I've never really liked coffee, but this I'd try.
 
People have these weird preconceptions about coffee. They say it's bitter, not tasty, and so on. News flash: it's a combination of bean quality and preparation! Even a good, strong coffee doesn't have to be noticeably bitter.

In other news, I worked my ass off this weekend. I have a deadline coming up and a research paper to write.
 
So started replaying The Witcher 1 last weekend after 2-3 year hiatus.

I don't know if I'm getting old but I've actually forgotten some of the stuff in the game. Also, experiencing the game first time through a sharp, high resolution and high quality IPS panel really brings the world alive like never before. All of this adds quite a bit of "freshness" into the playthrough.

So yeah. It's nice. :)

Also, this might finally be the replay that I've been waiting for all these years where I don't have to worry about performance issues. And it only took 7½ years. lol.
 
True that. Chapter 3 is usually enough to drop the FPS, though. Then again, you have OC'd your i7... quite a bit, so you might just pull it off.
 
The real coffee is which I drink at home for any good reason.

I've heard there's a café that pretends serving the best coffee in the world, 3 streets away from my place.
It's a very rare coffee from Jamaica. It seems that Jamaicans are always good on taking care of plants! (I should ask for a tipp concerning my yuka..)
But it costs 5euros for a cup...
I hope you can take the cup, the saucer and the spoon back home for this price...
I'll bring my personal @EmperorZorn try this, only him can tell if it's the best coffee or not.

Not really. It's only a light overclock. Under load, 4790k boosts 2 of the 4 cores from 4GHz to 4,4GHz. I just raised the voltage a bit to allow all 4 cores to boost to 4,6GHz and applied adaptive voltage so when idling it'll decrease the clocks and voltages. Should save some electricity and make the CPU last longer.

Well considering Starbucks asks 2,95€ for a normal Melita filter coffee and it tastes like something from hell that was then burned and the burned parts dissolved in water. I think 5€ for a cup of the best coffee sounds like a deal

This bloke, James Dennis, is Mister Coffee. He grows Blue Mountain the old way.

I Can't understand why people keep on going in Starbucks..

Thank you for the infos @Guy N'wah ! Now I feel more confident to try it :)
 
Starbucks in Japan was pretty nice, but they had festive Japanese drinks, as well as the usual, and my friend was addicted to macha latte, so I'd always get dragged in with her. (I'm that boring person who orders the same drink no matter where they go, so I can tell you Starbucks Japan's mochas were pretty decent, if expensive.)

I think they only sell 間茶(Macha) in Asia, because I saw it in Korea too but I've never seen it outside Asia.
 
I've been to Starbucks only once because there are no SB stores in my country. I got a cup of ice with some coffee poured over it, and that cost me 3 euros... no thanks, lol. Fancy coffee culture is so weird. Teeny tiny espressos are enough for me. :D


There are Starbucks all over where I live since I'm close to Seattle, WA (the place it was founded). However, I've never been to an actual Starbucks cafe. I suppose I've just never been one to follow trends, especially when it's a trend that is mostly a marketing scheme (paying high prices for a mediocre product for the sake of being trendy).

However, I do enjoy a good cappuccino, espresso or latte.
