EB03: Coffee, Dating, and butter




In episode 3 - we discussed the history of coffee, our favorite brewing methods, and why we should probably open a coffee shop.
  • Our favorite brewing methods
    • Justin: Aeropress: the best-tasting cup of coffee you will make at home (or anywhere, really). Downsides: you only brew one cup at a time.
    • Dustin: French Press - it's "as coffee as coffee can get," as a wise Batdorf and Bronson employee told us once. It's a quick, dang tasty cup of coffee and clean up is quick and easy

  • Coffee History
    • 11th century - goat herders noticed their goats getting all crazy after eating these red berries off bushes. So they checked it out. It was coffee. Boom.
    • 15th century - Arabian peninsula - started cultivating coffee. They brewed at home but also at public coffee houses. The wifi was terrible, but the coffee was the FRESHEST.
      • A lot of intelligent conversations so they were dubbed the “schools of the wise”
    • 17th century - coffee made its way to Europe and started to become popular. Of course some thought it was from Satan like everything else that's become popular in history of everything. But I guess cooler and more caffineated heads prevailed.
    • Pope clement 8 gave it his stamp of approval so that helped.
    • Same century - coffee made its way to New York
    • Thomas Jefferson called coffee "the favorite drink of the civilized world"
  • Different waves of coffee
    • 1st wave - Folgers - this is what pushed coffee into omnipresence throughout the U.S.
    • 2nd wave - European espresso became popular in the states
    • 3rd wave - single origin specialty rosters, high end boutique coffee shops - manual brewing
Dating profiles -
  • History of dating services
  • Personal experience
  • Call on the phone and work up the balls to say out loud “will you go out with me?”
  • Now you just ask 300 girls if you wanna get a drink and you're going to succeed on some level as long as you're not 100% creep or 100% gollum from lord of the rings in your pics
  • Our generation and using them now
  • Texting, insta, Snapchat, messaging - if it's bad it's tough to get to the date
  • Lack of personal connection
Wild card
  • How fancy do you want your butter and in what applications?

Ok folks - we didn't love this one. And it sounds like a lot of fans didn't either. I was watching the Today Show this morning ...
