How's the coffee there?

That is the question that I've been hearing a lot these days. I'm completely sober while writing this but yes I am quite sick of that question. And I also completely understand that it is none of my business if someone prefer to find so called good coffee rather than the ambience of the place. Even though, the combination of both will be splendid.

To me the conversation about coffee (on how good is this coffee shop or how awful is that coffee shop) is really boring and freaking corny. Especially here in Indonesia, where all the good coffee beans from. Toraja, Luwak, Aceh, Sumatra Mandheling, etc etc. Coffee is there to keep us awake, concentrate while working, accompanying us watching football, etc etc. So when we're hanging out with our good friends, why it is so important to find good coffees? Talking about the coffee, comparing with other coffee shop, what are we? journalists? Even more, we will be trying each other's beverages, showing our double thumbs up/down, throwing our opinion about the coffee we like, etc... Seriously, can't we talk something else?

See, what is more important is a comfortable place with a round table and our brain and heart fully filled with things we eagerly want to share to someone next to us, and of course with drinkable coffees.
