    Clear cold coffee, Blasphemy at Whateley?

  • Ok we are going to need pitchforks and firewood. Lots and lots of firewood.

    Oh, and rope, preferably a natural fiber.

  • Do ya'll see the man with the really big gun hanging out of the space ship? I have to say, ya'll weren't easy to find and we had to come out of our way to do it, but he's a coffee purist. That man's looking to kill some folk, so take this product down.

  • First it's clear then we'll make it orderless tasteless and caffeineless. We'll call it water.

  • Personally I think if they want a non coffee coffee beverage, they need to make Cafpow.

  • Personally I think if they want to make a non coffee coffee beverage, they should be suitably amused.
    Boiling oil or melted lead would work.

  • Clear... Coffee... The horrors...

    Though why do I picture someone trying to make regular coffee using this? To the point where it's got it's natural colors?

    I expect something to explode...

  • I'm not a coffee person, so if somebody could explain why clear coffee is blasphemous, I'd much appreciate it.

    I thought you were supposed to drink coffee, not look at it.

    Maybe it's cause it's not hot... I mean... if they're that upset about its clarity I imagine they also rage against its not being served scalding hot as well...

    Man... I can't imagine what the uproar would be if tea were clear too...

    You been to any Asian or near Asian country lately?

    Here in Singapore there are more "Teas" in cans in the drinks fridges then all the other soft drinks combined.

    Hell, even in Australia "LiptonIce" Tea drinks have been a thing for decades.

    Since Tea comes in Green, Black and brown already, I think the colour of Tea would be a non-issue for most.

    As a non-coffee drinker, I'm calling the outrage over clear coffee what it is, a dick measuring contest. All those complaining are upset that their "macho" straight black coffee is being endangered.

  • That, or they're upset that new recruits to their coffee cult won't end up with stained teeth like they did.

    I don't drink any sort of coffee, tea, or soft drinks. It's milk and water for me, and all the cute dentists shower me with complements.

    I am the kernel that pops in the night. I am the pain that keeps your dentist employed.

    Does the one-word, suffixed with "Ice", name indicate that it shares the same affordable-yet-low-class reputation that its American beer equivalents do?

    Umm … No.

    It indicates it comes out of a fridge and is served "Ice Cold"

  • I'm actually more concerned that clear coffee will be another Red Bull.

    Tastes like shit and tears you up like nothing else on earth if you drink it a lot.

    Nah. I already have a tape measure around here somewhere.

    One legitimate concern is whether the compounds removed to ensure the lack of color aren't also those responsible for most of the health benefits. At that point, one might as well wash down a caffeine tablet with water. Water doesn't have enough flavor, but don't like teeth staining? Green or white tea. Sorted.

    That's the sort of coffee that we used to make by using a distillation apparatus.

    While this was known informally as a "Cherenkov Blue" (Named after the physicist, and, the colour of of the coffee that he was famous for drinking, and, for the red-shift effect that you would get from the time-dilation that the over-dose of caffeine produced. We did TRY to keep the strength under the LD50 strength.)

    However we cannot, but fail to mention the Magisterial Magnificence of the "Black Blood Of The Earth" from Funranium Labs, http://www.funraniumlabs.com/the-black-blood-of-the-earth/

    It's the sort of coffee that when we sampled it, was described as "chewy", and "acceptable." :D
