I was the same for years until I had a pourover at a coffee shop in NYC that knocked my socks off. I still enjoy bad coffee but the pleasure I’ve gotten from making better coffee over the years has been worth it IMO.

Incidentally, it’s entirely possible to enjoy good coffee without becoming a total snob, just like it’s possible to use vim without being a dick about it :)

NY is interesting because, in a similar way that there was literally not one single edible vegetable in Manhattan before Whole Foods came to Chelsea, there wasn't a drop of decent coffee anywhere in a city of 8 million people before Zibetto opened about 15 years ago, and then Stumptown opened in the Ace Hotel, and after that it was like a revolution all over the city. But definitely late to the good coffee scene.

I love how your brought vim into this conversation. Smooth. Real smooth.
