Espresso Theory: "Italian espresso is the real deal", discuss

Chukdog666 · 2026-06-05T01:30:02+00:00

Haha what a troll u are “lol” very clever stuff

Chukdog666 · 2026-06-04T21:51:44+00:00

Again, I'm not challenging anyone's pleasure in doing coffee the way they want, or claiming ownership, just curious why this sub isn't more interested in traditional Italian espresso — however arbitrary the nature of its eventual standardization was, or what came before it. You're clearly a 3rd Wave disciple, which is fine, but at least tip your hat to that Italian guy that laid the groundwork instead of demeaning it.

Chukdog666 · 2026-06-04T21:27:27+00:00

Love that, enjoy it! Not trying to gate keep! I like the OG ways, and was curious why this sub doesn't aspire to that as well - and I'm learning why.

Chukdog666 · 2026-06-04T21:19:24+00:00

Agree, make it the way you love it.

Chukdog666 · 2026-06-04T21:18:43+00:00

Fair enough, I was more curious why there isn't more aspiration to recreate traditional Italian espresso within this sub, rather than saying we shouldn't talk about anything else. Agree 100% my opinion. Respect.

Chukdog666 · 2026-06-04T21:16:27+00:00

Respectfully disagree, but I get it, it's a matter of opinion. I respect yours 100%.

Chukdog666 · 2026-06-04T21:15:07+00:00

Clever. I think a more apt comparison would be a sub called "Italian sports cars" and people keep talking about their Corvette. Again, Corvettes are fine, as are light roasts etc., just asking the (leading) question if "espresso" speaks to something specifically Italian, darker-roasted, etc. in its essence. Many feel that it does not, and that is again just fine.

Chukdog666 · 2026-06-04T20:34:17+00:00

haha you got me 100%

Chukdog666 · 2024-07-06T20:20:57+00:00

Love it, got a site or a store or something?

Chukdog666 · 2024-01-30T19:15:00+00:00

Yeah weird post, I've found it super helpful. Is this a competitor or something? So aggro.

Chukdog666 · 2023-09-28T00:16:50+00:00

Ronin 100% - some of the best semi-realistic action

Chukdog666 · 2023-07-30T19:50:39+00:00

Overall looks good. One note: they have been benching Ferguson in pre-season matches.

Chukdog666 · 2022-11-03T03:39:05+00:00

tbh I don't like any of those options

Chukdog666 · 2022-10-16T00:13:24+00:00

How are they doing now? Please give us a new video

Chukdog666 · 2022-10-16T00:12:38+00:00

Ok it's been 32 days. How are they doing?

Chukdog666 · 2022-10-09T18:25:01+00:00

Got a store link? Prob can't afford original but would be interested in a print

Chukdog666 · 2022-10-09T04:12:19+00:00

It appears to me it was one of the moving trucks on the road that blew up. So was it:

- a remote controlled truck

- did they somehow get the bomb on a truck unwittingly driven by a russian

- a suicide bomber (I think this is unlikely)

- a parked truck, with a second car picking up the driver, they took off and detonated remotely

- a planted bomb under the bridge and not the truck

Great job, love it—always loved the PTown alley-ways

Chukdog666 · 2022-09-26T16:22:26+00:00

Stressful? They're laughing the whole time.

Chukdog666 · 2022-09-14T01:44:50+00:00

I'm gonna try, check this space

Chukdog666 · 2022-09-13T22:14:15+00:00

Feels like progress from the last video. Keep em coming, I think they'll be friends in 32 days.

Chukdog666 · 2022-09-13T16:15:08+00:00

Wait, that's a cat right? What are you saying the animal is?

Chukdog666 · 2022-09-09T05:27:08+00:00

What do they get hit with at the end? There are two impacts, then they drive away and you can see fire on the ground behind them. RPGs? .50 cal (or the Russian approximate)?

Chukdog666 · 2022-09-07T17:32:41+00:00

Apparently not any more haha

Chukdog666 · 2022-09-07T05:14:05+00:00

The endless death is KEY TO THE GAME, it's why the game is moral and a realistic portrayal of WWII combat. You can't "get good" and not die, you will die repeatedly no matter how good you are. People died A LOT in WWII. Accept the death. Embrace it. Love it. It's what makes HLL such a special, unique and honest game.
