27 Oct Review: drinking coffee in SF

Drinking Coffee as a way of Living
Flywheel Coffee Roasters is the place closest to my home and the place I prefer to sit at to make homework. Their cappuccinos are amazing, their personnel ticks all the obligatory “working at hipster place” boxes, and they have large wooden tables where you can sit with your Macbook while working on creative projects. Manbuns, beards, music that is easy listening but isn’t easy listening but instead is a “new artist that was just signed by Secretly Canadian(!!”)” that you’ve just haven’t heard of yet, piercings, a moustache tattoo on the ring finger of the barrista: this place has it all!

You might say that the cult around coffee is overrated. Couldn’t those people not just all drink redbull or some other energy drink, or get their fake ADD medicine prescribed, like Dutch people use for studying exams? Most definitely not. Drinking coffee is a vital part of peoples identity here in San Francisco. No OKCupid profile is complete without mentioning the sort of coffee you prefer (slowdrip, coldbrewed, Ethiopian, extra Kale, cappuccino, latte, nitro, sisyphan, filter, etc). Coffee can give away vital information about the sort of person you are. And admit, it’s so much more fun to study while having lots of distraction and coffee to prevent you from being too distracted, than sitting at home or in the library without. Drinking coffee as a way of living gets five stars
