Conan Busts Jordan Schlansky & His Elitist Espresso Machine

poolcleaner says...

Here's a serious answer: This was so very, very real and he is an honest to GAWD douche bag. That's why they humiliated him against his will and edited out his true defense of himself. Because real douche bags can defend themselves pretty well, so it's imperative that they be made to look even more foolish than they really are. Justice has served... bad... coffee. In fact, it's in his contract now that he can only drink coffee made by this Windmere device.

I work as his production assistant that's why I know. And that's not a lie. Just like it's not a lie that I believe that Jesus Christ of Nazareth was the original member of the band Nazareth.

And if I were being sarcastic, surely I would click the sarcasm box.

How real was that? Is the guy an actor or really one of his producers, because he was pretty convincing in being a huge douche... (this is a serious question).

I checked and he really is his producer. Good acting skills (or a serious douche - still can't tell).

The making of a gourmet espresso

I mostly agree with the fresh coffee theory. The best section in Whole Foods is undoubtedly the coffee booth/counter, with every bin marked with the roasting date, and none of the more than 3 days old. It's an amazing experience to go through and pick up 1/4 bags of 5-8 different coffees and compare them. The flavors will blow your socks off, if you're used to the normal commercial products.

Then, I remember Illy. Illy turns out some of the best tasting espresso I've ever made. Yet it's not actually fresh... That's when I get confused.

Sadly, my Jura espresso machine finally shot craps, and I'm not in a position to replace it right now (or even to buy a decent grinder, which was built into the Jura). So I'm back to a drip coffeemaker. After all, even bad coffee's better than none at all. The good news is, I found a remarkably good commercial coffee. Seattle's Best - Henry's Blend. Don't laugh, but I'd wear it even gets hints of the flavor of a real espresso...

My first purchase when things improve is definitely going to be a decent grinder, combined with an Aeropress...then I'll see if I still like the Seattle's Best as much as I do right now.
