What's the most prestigious coffee?
The fundamental issues of the most prestigious water and the most prestigious haircut have already been covered on this board. However, to my knowledge, no topic has ever asked the question of the most prestigious coffee. So here I go:
-
What's the most prestigious coffee drink?
-
What are the most prestigious places in NYC and London to drink coffee?
-
What's the most prestigious coffee beans brand?
-
What's the most prestigious coffee machine brand?
In addition, here are a few considerations regarding the prestigiousness of coffee:
-
Starbuck is not prestigious
-
If one thinks that Starbuck is prestigious, one isn't prestigious
-
The more sugar in the coffee, the less prestigious the coffee is
-
The more coffee one needs to drink to not fall asleep at his desk, the more prestigious one is
Pourover is my go-to. I currently have the Fellow Stagg XF kit w/ the Fellow Ode grinder. I found a slate cheese plate & stack ‘em on it, looks really good actually LOL.
I’m a big fan of Blue Bottle - whenever I’m in NYC, the WTC 3 BB shop is my favorite spot to sit in early AM. I look right out at the 9/11 memorial and get to look at the 1776ft pinnacle of America, on the greatest skyline in the world. Great times!
How do you like the Ode grinder? I have one but feel that the static can be annoying, and it's a bit messy. Otherwise, I think it's pretty good.
If you're getting static - send it back! Promise. My first one was throwing grounds like crazy, and I had to hit the thing 4-5 times every time I made a cup. I found that a lot of people have had the same issue, and it's just a bad batch of products. Fellow sent me a new one, then had me send the old one back so I didn't miss a day of coffee. The new one performs great and I've had no issues since.
Great machine. Max grind time ~5 seconds, it's quiet as hell, and the little 'beep' at the end makes me happy for some reason LOL
Kopi Luwak is a coffee that consists of partially digested coffee cherries, which have been eaten and defecated by the Asian palm civet. It is also called civet coffee. The cherries are fermented as they pass through a civet's intestines, and after being defecated with other fecal matter, they are collected. Wikipedia
Place of origin: Indonesia

Ah yes, the poop coffee. James Hoffmann uploaded a great discussion about it
for anyone who hasn't seen this yet
Any coffee actually brewed correctly and not ruined with a liter of fucking creamer and overly sweet flavorings.
Literally anything from Starbucks
lol did you mean to link to Howard Schultz's book
loooool no
La Colombe Draft Latte is the most prestigious canned coffee. If your office kitchen has these, guaranteed your firm pays above market comp
Agreed, though I prefer the regular cold brew canned version. But definitely the best canned coffee product out on the market.
I had these really hungover after my wedding and was blown away. I didn't remember what they were called until you just posted. I'm ordering a case now. Fantastic product.
Kopi Luwak (with irony)
Cappuccino is quite prestigious
The one your mom brews at home
My ninety-one year old Italian grandmother still gets up each day from her rest to make espresso for me. It saves a fortune on what I consider "inferior" coffee.
Personally I’m a huge fan of the beans my buddy sends me from his family’s farm in Guatemala on the south slope of Volcan de Agua.
I wouldn't phrase this as prestigious, but certainly premium. Jamaican Blue Mountain is fire and is a single origin bean which makes for a mean cup of coffee. I drink my coffee black too so I've always found it super flavorful. And also the face of the barista at blue bottle when I bought it as an analyst for 20 bucks for the cup this one time was quite memorable but he never knew I took my coffee very very seriously.
Mandarin Oriental hotel lobby over-looking the park. You will see lot's of wealthy men and stunningly beautiful "ladies of the night" lounging there as well...

The type of coffee that the CIA overthrows Central American governments for.
Black Rifle Coffee
Love Black Rifle
You mean the "optics are nice until we are held to them" glowies?
Coffee beans from McNulty's (est. 1895) in the West Village. Eureka Mignon Silenzio grinder. Espresso from a Lelit Bianca.
