Shoutout to the guy at the Portland cafe who called my pour-over 'dishwater'
I was at a small spot on Division Street last fall, just trying a new single-origin, and this older guy at the next table leaned over and said, 'Son, if you're gonna drink that dishwater, you might as well just order tea.' He was dead serious, and it completely killed the vibe for me. Has anyone else had a snobby comment ruin a coffee moment for them?

Gotta question whether this is really that deep though. Dude made a dumb comment, you probably paid like six bucks for that pour-over, and you're still thinking about it months later? I get it can sting in the moment, but plenty of people at cafes say weird stuff about coffee that doesn't stick with you. Honestly if every snobby comment ruined my coffee experience I'd never finish a cup in a shop like that. Maybe just chalk it up to that guy having a bad day and move on.
