I want to talk about coffee.
KharBevNor:
Coffee Snob is two words.
What is the mouthfeel of not being able to comprehend the english language?
KharBevNor:
But Jens.
What is the mouthfeel of a bitch?
ackblom12:
Mouthfeel is just silly because the word texture exist.
Jimmy the Squid:
Yeah mouthfeel takes into account not only texture but also consistency.

I think that period precedes us both by a considerable margin. Unless espresso is a recent development in Canada, that is. It was around here before I was born, anyway, and it was served in Italy as well. Not that I had the opportunity of tasting it then, because, duh, I didn't exist.

Seems as if you should, er, cut down on the cafeine a bit. Should you address people like that in an Amsterdam coffee shop, you could expect anything between a stern advice to evacuate the premises and a swift punch in the face. Unless you want to create the impression that you're a 17 yr old Internet Tough Guy high on crack, this is not an appropriate way to address your peers.
Anyway, I have to say that, when I first read the word "mouthfeel", my initial thought was "why doesn't he just say structure?"
For your information: during the period of initial popularity of espresso (which was the beginning of the 20th century), the sugar was not added to fight the bitter taste from using not enough coffee ground, but the bitter taste that resulted from pressing STEAM (100 degrees Celcius) through the ground. This was too hot, the ground burnt, causing the bitter taste. This was not cured until somebody (I forgot who) had the clever idea of using a piston to push the water (below cooking) through the ground. This was a lot more recent, but still before WWII.
