People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

Mark NSFW content.
No doxxing people.
Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
No international politcs
Be excellent to each other.
Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

Americans mostly drink Arábica beans. The only Robusta coffee out here is in Vietnamese style coffee filled with a ton of condensed milk.

some of the cheap stuff like maxwell house is a mix of arabica and robusto.

Nonsense. Dunkin donuts, every office coffee maker, and most fast food coffee is robusta. That's why people kill the taste with sugar and fat.

We work with local coffee farms to grow our coffee, using only 100 percent Arabica coffee beans and the highest quality coffee available.

It's burnt to hell. That's why it's like that. The cultivar doesn't matter at that point. You could start with the best beans and it'd still be shit roasted like that.

The cultivar matters, but only when it's roasted well. These huge coffee companies burn the coffee to ensure consistency. It doesn't matter what they started with.

I feel like you might not actually know that much about coffee. You've heard two names and that one is supposed to be better (it isn't, just different, and useful in different circumstances). You then stopped learning and think you know everything.
