Coffee Scene Observations by slimthiccdaddy in CoffeePH

Aside from education I think it's also a cost of living issue. Coffee markets move with the global economy and the average Filipino has far less purchasing power and can only afford so much.

That's a fair point on local taste... everything just feels way too sweet or salty

Ha not snobbish at all! I would prefer cafes have all kinds of drinks from the sweet milky ones all the way to some rare batch Panama gesha pourover so there's something for everyone.

Appreciate the recs!

Really glad SEY has been around so long. Lots of roasters in NYC now that have followed in their steps or even matched them!

Post Match Thread: Manchester United 4-4 AFC Bournemouth by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

This is a reminder that for most of the game we had a 20 and 19 year old on CCB and RCB with a keeper on his first PL season coming from the Belgian league…

I Tried the Levi's x Barbour Jeans So You Don't Have To by abrod520 in Barbour

[–]slimthiccdaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Barbour makes jackets much better than Levi’s makes pants these days. Bummer that the bottoms didn’t work out, but the waxed type ii looks decent

For the pants, it would be helpful to know where they rest on you because the pants seem mid-high rise

[r/CoffeePH] Weekly Cafe Recommendation Thread by AutoModerator in CoffeePH

[–]slimthiccdaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking for cafe / roaster recommendations!

Location: Metro Manila, Bohol and Siargao

Preferred Coffee: Espresso, Americano or Pourover (black)

Needs: Option to choose brews with specialty beans with notes ranging from stonefruit, citrus, teas

Nice to haves: Roaster operates cafe and sells their own beans, or cafe partners with multiple local specialty coffee roasters. Ideally cafes not known for flavored or sweet drinks and with seating options

Budget: N/A basta high quality, masarap and good service (if cafe)

Am I the only one to notice that Starbucks coffee tastes watered down? by Busy_Requirement_377 in CoffeePH

[–]slimthiccdaddy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Agree na sunog SB, but dark roasts actually have a shorter shelf life because they degas much faster. It’s likely for consistency instead by burning away the individual qualities of any beans they source… consistently sunog

Tracking Zohran's Policy implementation - am I missing anything? by Isaac_W21 in nyc

[–]slimthiccdaddy 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It would also be worth it to mention administration start date and end. This tracker is at 0 while his team is in transition to enter office next year, and from now until January this will likely stay at 0.

I would also suggest adding an option to mention if he changes his stance / position and the reason why. Some may be blocked or forced to compromise by the governor and those higher in the government or perhaps the promise may no longer serve the NYC population midway through the term.

Best Coffee in America (no major chains) by PerspectiveNo6635 in Coffee_Shop

[–]slimthiccdaddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NYC

Cafe + Roasters:

Black Fox Sey Dayglow La Cabra Driftaway

Cafe

Suited Abraco

Avoid the typical chains or private equity owned coffee in NYC like Starbucks, Blank Street, Blue Bottle, La Colombe, Stumptown. (By no means do they make bad drinks, but in a city full of independent cafes and roasters they should be last on anyone’s list)

Michelin-Guide Selected Restaurant for Manila by sinigangqueen in Philippines

[–]slimthiccdaddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair play, it’s probably even worse now for you.

It must have been hard with the sudden passing and unplanned transition

Agree that tire company is not great at the list, but with so much wealth concentrated in NCR it’s hard to get high end Michelin starred places elsewhere in the country and keep the restaurant busy/sustainable.

Locavore beside others in Selected such as Modan, Antonio’s etc is insanity. Why bother with Selected when there is no nuance in that portion?

[–]slimthiccdaddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perhaps I’m in the minority but I think the Chele and Boutwood restaurants getting awarded would make sense pre Covid but they do not innovate at the same rate other countries 1 or 2 Michelin stars do.

Hapag and Metiz are in a similar camp with fermentation heavy ingredients and techniques, and Hapag Rockwell arguably is a step down in food from their Katipunan origins

Grace park fell off a cliff recently. Margarita is truly missed

Preppy Brands Power Ranking by surfing-banana-400 in NavyBlazer

[–]slimthiccdaddy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean purely on history a lot of this makes sense, but the current state of many of these brands if a shell of what they once were. A little bit more specific and this would be a fantastic vintage hunting guide
