I'm trying to imagine what Steve would think if we showed him this clip in 1981.
Glowing Red Brain Haha I was thinking "Who the fuck is this guy?"
I love young Steve and current Steve, don't get me wrong.
He'd think "yeah, that's about right" what's special is the way it's processed. make a neat espresso.
on one hand he'd be shocked that he cares about espresso terminology and on the other he'd be impressed by the machinery and the fact that it's weasel shit coffee
He'd say; "Am I on an episode of the Twilight Zone?"
"jesus i filled out"
RIP 2 u kind sir! This is how I want to remember SA. Talking about civet poop coffee but in such a casually entertaining way! So many good memories and such a huge influence on my early and young music listening life.
Albini is the last renaissance man on earth.
AnalogOpher there is also Mike Patton.
Yeah, but where is HIS great video about making a weird kind of coffee? :)
Well
guess were fucked now.
damn
Professor Albini was born to lecture
During chemotherspy last summer i would watch this over and over snd salivate- because of the meds i couldnt enjoy my usual double espresso each morning. Listening to Steve talk this thru was the nearest thing .
Mike Silva I'm watching this video while feeling sick from hangover. I thought I was pretty ill until I came along your comment. I hope you have the support of friends and family and that you are doing well these days.
have you had an espresso since?
❤️
@@johnnyluna7824 yes maybe too many but back on chemotherapy again. Yikes!
@@mikesilva5085 how are you now?
I never thought someone talking so eloquently about cat shit coffee would be such a turn on
Gay
That was great. Thanks for sharing.
He had me at “arboreal weasels “
Sweet! More Steve Albini is always appreciated. Thanks for the upload!
brilliant as usual...listening to him just refreshes my mind
When I first lived in Sumatra for 5 years I drank the real Kopi Luwak, naturally harvested..not the cruel farmed kind..it was great but kind of overpowering and acidic. After talking with many locals in the town of Bengkulu where I lived I eventually discovered the good stuff, which wasn't Kopi Luwak, but a natural blend called Seribu satu (1001) brand. Mostly Robusta, acidic and drank with the grits in the bottom of the glass and liberal dash of condensed milk..heaven in a glass. Sumatran Kopi Luwak is digested Robusta beans, which are way more acidic and the gut enzymes help break down that acidity. Interesting Steve identified that sweet, milk based kopi is the best way to drink, same as the Indonesians.
It doesn't matter what horrific things happened to those beans... if Steve Albini offers you coffee, you drink it!
This makes me happy 😊 so long, Steve
did he make that coffee in a harmonic percolator?
This comment deserves a LOT more love ✊🏼
I like mellow Steve
I LOVE kopi luwak…seen them at the Pitchfork fest in Chicago. I didn’t know they recorded at Electrical 😮 the snare sound on their sophomore effort is AMAZING.
"Would you like to be filmed sipping it?"
RIP to the GOAT
love him
I have an uncle in vietnam. I think I know what I'm gonna ask him to bring me next time he visits. Also Steve was a coffee buff? Man after my own heart. RIP punk rocker.
If Nascent Koprolith is not yet the name of an Indonesian goregrind band, then Indonesia owes the world one latte with maple syrup.
one sip of this acclimated him to black midi
Always found it cool and amusing that Steve is into gourmet food
"This is a teradactyl carrying its surfboard to the beach"
I'm glad to see Steve is eating again
That's actually the kitchen/breakroom of his studio, Electrical Audio. Those brick walls you see in some shots are all over the interiors of the recording rooms.
Kirkland maple syrup in his highbrow coffee drink?! I feel more connected this man now than I ever did before. If I find out that he Marie-Kondos his t-shirt drawer I might lose my mind.
Steve is making coffee the same way he mixes and it is awesome
What so it tastes flat like his mixes sound?
@@dominicparker3245 I mean.. made with great precision, how about that
My studio (to be fair, it's only a single floor, one 36x30 room) only has a Keurig. I really miss my stovetop percolator and grinding my own beans. It wasn't convenient or easy and the first cup out of the pot was the only one that was really fresh and hot, but that first cup sure was amazing. I do have a little screen filter that can be used in it so I can get some Sumatra from the local coffee shop and grind it, but..... The Keurig is good because you can make one cup at a time, it works if you drink multiple cups every day, and your coffee doesn't sit and get cold (if it's a perc) or sit on the burner and get gross (if it's a drip coffee maker), but the last band here drank shitloads of coffee, and I think I could get away with having a drip coffee pot for that reason, we would just brew a pot and everyone could have a cup out of it, then brew another to give us a second cup, and so on. See, I started this comment thinking it would be one sentence about being jealous of Albini's in-house coffee shop, but I've had too much coffee........WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kopi Luwak is definitely in the "don't knock it until you've tried it" category. It really is amazing tasting stuff. And, because it's washed more thoroughly than conventional coffee, it actually has less bacteria than what's in your grinder now.
I've tried it ....nothing special
"Do people not find it somewhat unsavory that they're consuming something that was harvested in excrement?"
"No--because it's delicious."
Miss this man.
RIP
was that a ristretto shot as well? 16 seconds if im correct.
What is the proper measurement for a 8.oz cup I tablesppon
ive been in that Kitchen!
Damn. Albini's house is nice.
i read in a video they keep civit cats captive in cages,some ppl in comments saying its cruel
rip
A great sound engineer who knows fuck all about coffee.
"No, because it's delicious"
He gets paid under 30K on average a year now. Whenever he gets a big project like that the money doesnt just go to him, there are multiple employees at electrical audio and there is also the issue of rent. Projects like that (IE: major label recordings) take way longer and are a huge fuckaround just to get the money from.
I wonder what Kurt would think about modern Coffee?
This is on par with David Lynch makes Quinoa
XOXO
Fluffies at Electrical are the best! But, for the really good ones you need the intern to make it, since they have all the experience.
Yes -- I am aware of how this sounds, but it is unavoidable.
instead of being fermented in vats or out in the open air it is fermented inside the gut of the animal
albini might be the most youtubed dude
"a lot of money" is such a relative term. i've known someone who got 100k just from their inheritance, it's really not that much money in today's world. back in 1920 it would be a hell of a lot of money.
Great. Anytime Albinis asked ANYthing. Expect a long drawn out answer , you didn’t ask for.
I know that, my point is that it is still a large amount of money for most people. Just because no one can fucking afford a house for a reasonable price doesnt mean that it isnt a lot of money.
my statement still stands. 100k is barely any money in today's market, even for back when In Utero was made. I'm sure steve lives pretty comfortably but he ain't no millionaire. my statement still stands.
he got paid 100k to produce In Utero
wish the dude didn't talk so I could pretend he was making the coffee for me
you can really taste the weasel LOL
I keep hearing about people (and some were close friends of mine) that are dying that ate healthy and didn't even drink or do drugs. Bummer.
"and so i consume it out of this?"
haha
holy shit did i laugh at this lol
"Plus whatever else comes out in poop".
AKA "poop"
the dirtiest most abrasive coffee imaginable
Put milk and syrup on my...well anything and it will taste good. Hmm. .
i have NEVER heard him talking about nirvana, not a single line and yet, now he's talking about coffee beans which are defecated from civets? this is extremely outfuckingrageous!
i am in south east asia and i've never tasted the coffee!
Only in the USA would someone pay big dollars for Kopi Luwak beans....and then put that much milk with it.
He close mic'd the steamer with a lavalier ...would have liked a room mic for that. Too much 2-5 k going on for my taste Steve .
cracklin nut crud...
hurry up steve that coffee's gettin cold...
Kopi is some expen$ive $hit!!!
oh Steve when did you become a Melbourne hipster. Your ripples are screaming
I love when people only have the IQ to produce enough cognitive dissonance to type "hipster" in the comment box
Cheesy McHeisenburg nice work arse clown
Ohh do keep talking, you keep proving him correct
johnnyscifi I would love to hear your reasons why?
I would rather drink world class coffee from Finca El Injerto in Guatemala than paying ridiculous amount for this overly hyped coffee. It's so boring. Nothing going on. I guess people like it for it's lack of acidity. But acidity in my opinion is what makes coffee interesting.
That's like mixing high-end bourbon with coke for a jack n' coke. What a friggin' waste, man!
Dude speaks like Naom Chomsky
Aye. See the Guardian 13th Sept 2013: Cut The Crap.
nope, just living in reality. considering the richest people in the world's net worths are around 100 billion, not even a million dollars is "a lot of money" in today's day and age. millionaires are playground children compared to the numerous billionaires in today's day. a brand new car is around 30,000$.
Tip your barista.
Oh is this the mammal-shit coffee?
Too much caffeine killed Steve unfortunately
Show some respect by keeping your dumb mouth shut.
that's some CRAP coffee...see what I did there? terrible. sorry.
that looks like way too much milk
robair9911 that shit's too strong so you gotta put too much milk
It is animal cruelty! How come I can't "dislike" it?
sprudge dot com (slash) say-no-to-kopi-luwak.html
And you add maple syrup to your coffee? LOL
He take’s everything too serious
civit poop coffee I'm ok with, rag-wiped glass less so 😅🤢
you would qualify steve as rich? ahhhhahaha i'm sure he makes a very decent amount of money, but i wouldn't call him "rich."
This guy is the punk Morrissey
Triggered By Triggers I always called him the punk Trent Reznor lol
He’s the Punk Steve Albini lol no one else
How much goddamn FULL FAT milk is used in this? Unhealthy-fat overload.
Dutty bastid.
It is not fucking handselected!!!!!!!!!!
He is being such a pretentious coffee hipster here.
RIP
