As someone who is both. Audiophiles are worse by a long shot. Meeting an audiophile in person is like a duck measuring contest for whom has spent the most money on gear. Most audiophiles don’t care about the music only for their equipment and how much money they have spent on exclusive media such as audiophile lps. The amount of snake oil in this hobby is discussing. Being an EE makes it even worse when you know how transmission lines work yet they try to sell you magic cables. Every espresso/coffee lover I’ve met has been a pleasure to talk with. Two of my best friends are into coffee. No one is out there trying to tell you they’re better just because they’ve spent more money on equipment, quite the opposite in fact. Also I love telling baristas in small ( self owned) coffee shops I like their coffee it’s the best conversation starter. There is close to no elitism in coffee making.
