It’s been a while since a little problem keeps bugging me. It is about the way New Yorkers are depicted in movies regarding to their morning coffee habit.
I’ve observed that in movies people tend to get up, get dressed, go out and buy some coffee, then return home and drink it. Really, what’s the problem with New York people?!
There are tons of ways in which you can make your own coffee. Simple ways and more complicated ways. Ways for everyone. Isn’t it easier to get the coffee package, take some coffee into a spoon, put it in your cup and then fill it with hot water? (I guess this is the simplest way to make a coffee). Or you could just buy yourself an espresso machine… Really, it is very simple. A little kid could do it.
It surely is way more complicated to get dressed and go out to buy a fricking coffee.
I am well aware that some of them, during working days, prefer to get up, get dressed and on the way to work just grab a cup of coffee from any coffee-to-go station. But this is not what I am talking about. I am referring to the precise situation depicted in movies where two persons make love and in the morning one of them goes out to buy some coffee.
So, my question: why does it seem that New Yorkers are unable to make coffee for themselves? And please don’t tell me that the one from town is better, because you could literally buy some extremely good quality ground coffee and with it you will drink a very good coffee. So why do they act like this?! This is nonsense!
