One thing I'd like to say about Dutch coffee drinking habits is that most people prefer regular coffee. Actually (speaking as a barrista) espresso is mostly ordered after dinner and an "Americano" is espresso with added hot water. In general though, home-made coffee is paper filtered or French pressed instead of from a machine. And it's preferably served in delicate china and always served with a tiny spoon, even if you don't want any cream or sugar. It's a habit of stirring it while talking to the other people at the table. If you want to be really fancy, you can serve it in gold-rimmed hand-painted fine china, at least that's how I grew up. Hopefully this adds to your knowledge. Love your videos and your positive take on exploring cultural differences!
I bet you went to the wrong coffeeshop... cause damn, we got strong coffee!! And yes, Starbucks isn’t coffee, it’s slootwater 😂 ... btw, when you’re coming to the South, please try us at Coffeelovers
Joey baby, You should go more with OV, you'll see everyone with coffee to go. Especially in the morning when everybody needs a shot before work hahaha!And a little bit of coffee in dutch its called 'Haagse bakkies'. Because it is so tiny.
@@JoeyJaq never mind! I agree that we do drink coffee and sit around. We don't walk and talk with a coffee! But most of the time Dutch people are in a hurry so I really don't get why we don't do that more often 🍵💖
I've lived in America for a total of three years, we visit my wives family every year for a good two months. What do we have to bring? Dutch coffee (and Chocomel en stroopwafels of course) Not just for the family, but for ourselves as well because I could never stand the artificial tasting American coffee, and my wife can't stand it anymore after getting used to tasty Dutch coffee. "Senseo" isn't really coffee. I mean it is, but artificial in taste and unlike in America they don't try to hide that taste with a marketing gimmick of "roasting it really dark" giving you the impression that the coffee is really strong. Strong coffee is coffee with a lot of caffeine in it, not with a strong taste. ;-)
Sadly I drink coffee so rarely at home that I have to make do with Senseo. Luckily I have a proper coffee machine at work that grinds the beans for each cup, as I always start my work day with coffee. Still not good beans, but at least it's freshly ground coffee. :P
Fun fact but in California (don't remember which city) a Dutchman had a coffee shop which was very popular on lot's of students but he retired so some students started their own version with we now know as Starbucks.
Hey Joey, the founders of Starbucks learned coffee making from Alfred Peet, a dutchman who moved from Alkmaar to the US, so the people in the states used to drink bad coffee, bagger as we call it 😁 Your vlogs are cool 😊
From my experience I think Dutch people are way more into coffee in general. They have it for free, at work, at the hotel. I even saw a expresso machine at a bank. I went to media mart (best buy equivalent) and they had a bunch of different expresso machine. In best buy you mostly see a few option.
Sowieso is Starbucks veel en veel te duur, belachelijk duur, voor èèn kopje koffie heb je in de supermarkt een heel pak. Maaarrrr beste Joey als jij van sterke koffie houdt he, nou dan moet je de extra dark roast hebben van de Lidl, das gewoon vloeibare zwarte cocaine, ik drink niks anders meer, en als je die eenmaal gewend bent dan wil je ook geen andere meer want dan is geen andere caffe meer sterk genoeg, believe me! Het leuke is ook dat op de koffiepakken van de Lidl een schaalverdeling staat van 0 tot 10, das de sterkte van de kaffee,.. en de extra dark roast heeft Strenght 10! Sterker wordt het niet. Ik heb hier bij mij mensen in huis gehad voor te renoveren, bad, keuken enz, er waren er bij die hoefden geen koffie meer van me omdat hij zo sterk is dat ze bang waren hartklachten te krijgen, serieus, zo van,. Koffie heren? Uhhhhh neee danke veel te sterk die koffie van jou, niet goed voor mn rikketik haha. Ze hebben die coffee in bonen en in snelfilter maling, soo run Joey, run to de Lidl and get your fix😂🤣
It's funny though one of the reasons (part of being expensive way back when) why we originaly serve tiny cups is, because coffee is strong drink. I have no idea where or what kind of coffee you drank, but real dutch coffee should be very strong. Most foreigners don't like it, because it's so strong.
My American girlfriend made me watery coffee in a huge cup. After talking about it, she makes me Dutch coffee now: strong dark coffee, and she pours me multiple smaller cups. When I make coffee for us, she says it's too strong and adds a lot of milk. It's fun to discover these differences.
You missed: coffee culture at work. A true Dutch employee can't go without coffee for longer than 2 hours max. And that's also why you don't see that many people with coffee on the go. Why would you if you can get it for free at work. Getting coffee (for your entire department) is the first thing you do on arriving.
In my household we actually buy "powdered coffee" so it's grinded. We use a coffee filter, put the grinded coffee in the filter, poor hot water on it and let it drip in a cup as big as we like. I personally don't like coffee at all, bit my mom and brother are big fans, so the bigger the cup the better. With grinded coffee you can decide yourself how strong you want to make the taste and you can buy different kinds of grinded beans. Just a tip ;)
I have been in the states a couple of times and in my experience most Dutch coffee is stronger and more flavorfull. Its a matter of taste i guess. I actually live in a town near Valkenswaard where your BF is from and in my experience people here often drink strong black coffee all day long, Unlike in the big cities where they drink less coffee and when they do drink the “special” kinds like Latte.
The stimulant you get from coffee depends on the infrequency you drink it to get a good effect from it. Try not drinking coffee for a week, and you'll understand how much your body has adapted to high levels of coffee, and you need to go through withdrawel.
In every work place, office or factory, there is a coffee machine and there will be a major uprising if this machine is removed. Before and during the working hours the workers can drink a free cup of coffee, which sometimes is horrible tasting, but sometimes real good, and hé it is free :) At 10h and at 15h a special break is normal at most work to drink and chat with your colleageus which is very productive because then the best ideas are produced between otherwise seperated departments. Sometimes managers see this as unproductive and try to abolish this, but my experience is that after some time it grows back.
I do not know where you get your coffee when you are in the US, I suppose just Starbucks, when I was in Florida I really hated the coffee, it is not even good enough to be called bad coffee, it is lake Okeechobee water what they brought to boil.. When you are sitting somewhere you get a mug of a hot dark fluid completely tasteless and then they refill it for free. I understand that refill, they never get rid of the terrible stuff when they charge you for it.. Starbucks was ok-ish.. try some other coffee roasts here, dark roasted pure robusta coffee.. high level of caffeine.. that will wake you up
Hahahah dark fluid 😂, but yeah I love the Starbucks coffee because its a dark roast and it just tastes strong and delicious, I find European coffee to not taste dark and strong. Even if it is strong its still too smooth for my taste.
Joey Jaq the strong Starbucks coffee has a lot more caffeine and added ingredients than real coffee. I am fortunate that at my work we have small coffee machines that make coffee from real beans.
There's no such thing as "Dutch coffee", unless you mean brands like Douwe Egberts or Kanis & Gunninck. Otherwise all sorts of coffee can be found in the Netherlands.
@@BillyBoze I wasn't telling anybody off, I was only explaining that we do not have coffee plantations. And the link you provided is about "Dutch coffee", which isn't about the coffee or where it came from, but it's about a special way to make coffee (the drink, not the bean). So you best read the text at that link before calling someone ignorant. Eh?
I love to drink coffee al day but it comes with some bad physical side effects, so mixing it up with thea helps to diminish those side effects 😅 very nice comparison video 👍
There are webshops where you can buy good quality coffeebeans, and there is a variety of dark roasted coffeebeans, although there are not cheap. You do need to own a good coffeemaker, one that grinds the beans itself first and than makes the coffee. That is way better than coffee from Starbucks, Starbucks sucks. That is my opinion of course.
You have tried the filter coffee from Starbucks, im finding it to be a trend here to say Starbucks such but people who are saying that have actually never tried it.
I am actually the opposite. for me the strength of the coffee doesn't matter whether its roasted darkly or not it's usually based on the extraction. For me, the issue in the Netherlands is that they almost exclusively sell medium to dark roast coffee. I like light roast cause its more nuanced and doesn't hide the flavor. Dark roast is practically caramel or chocolate only.
I work at the bakker bart and live in a little village, not even a city. But when someone asks me if they can get it to go, it's totally normal. But you are right when you say that the cups are very small. Your videos are awesome😍
Every day 1 latte macciato tops 2. And I sit while drinking. Sometimes on my way to work in my car but mostly on the couch(sofa) to enjoy it! I have a philips machine that steams the milk and has a Saeco grinder :)
We drink coffee in normal ( as you say small) cups. What i've seen in the movies , the americans use a flower vase the drink the coffee. Thats so yuk :)
Coffee here is about quality over quantity nowadays. But it used to be more like in The States. Just a bigger cup with something brown in it that, to most of us nowadays, tastes like how we call it ""canalwater". Just a watery version of what we now get. I think in Europe we are at least love to think that we live and we take our time to enjoy where as it seems that in the US it is about rushing from one moment to another without actually enjoying those moments. But that is a generalised view, bit blak and white but that I think is our Dutch perception.Most people I know who drink ar Starbucks just think it is not good quality at all. Me being Portugese with probably the best espresso's in the world really do not get why there is a Starbucks in Lisbon in the first place...Probably for the tourists but it is just very low grade, bad quality to us. Dutch coffee from our perspective is better and it is a Dutch as Spaghetti is: it is mainly Italian and based on an Italian wayt to make coffee. But that as an aside.
Most Dutch people drink a lot of coffee during the day. I think tea is getting more popular because it's healthier (when it's not black that is). We also have the expression: we're going to drink coffee/let's drink coffee, when we just mean it's time to sit together and have a drink. But usually 9/10 people will want coffee, trust me. When I lived in England it was the other way around and most people would choose tea of course and this was really notable to me as a Dutch person. Also I think we have the biggest cup of coffee in Europe. I'm not sure about Scandanavia but in a lot of other European countries you'll need to order 'an Americano' to get a Dutch amount. If you order 'coffee' you'll get an espresso. So thought it was kind of funny that you think we drink less and also drink smaller volumes 'cause we probably drink the most coffee of all European countries and larger volumes aswell.
Oh and a lot of people have just an old fashioned coffee machine at home so you can decide on the ratio coffee and water yourself. I must admit I have a nespresso machine, I think it's fine. But a lot of Dutch people know the difference between an 'ok' cup of coffee and a 'good' cup of coffee which is made by a real coffee machine with real beans. I think the bean flavor is actually the biggest difference. It can definitely be strong here aswell but we define a good cup of coffee more by the quality of the beans and the machine I think than how dark roasted it is. From the other comments I see that American coffee is more watery tasting to Dutch people although it might be dark roasted (and therefor you like it). So I think you should try a dark roasted Dutch coffee (not from starbucks) to really be able to compare the taste.
I always thought that Dutch people did drink the most coffee. Like in this article: www.hpdetijd.nl/2014-06-09/nederlanders-drinken-verreweg-de-meeste-koppen-koffie/ (sorry it's dutch)
Wow thats so cool to see...I love that, I have to say I love how you guys drink it all the time and yet enjoy it and make it a ritual! Plus coffee at night was so foreign to me until I moved here hahahaha.
Ik heb nog een "oude" filterkoffie machinesnaast mijn andere koffie machines zodat ik zelf kan kiezen hoe sterk me koffie is. Heb t idee dat veel mensen in Nederland soort of mega koffie drinkers zijn of mega thee drinkers en de mensen die alleen sochtens koffie hebben vaak ook meerdere in de ochtend hebben. Ik start me dag echt niet zonder 3 sterke filterkoffie hahaha
Dutch coffee culture has changed over the last few decades, it used to be that most households and workplaces had a perculator machine wich brewed big pots of strong coffee kind of like the ones you see waitresses walking with in diners in hollywood movies. Espresso or lattés were a rare thing, nowadays a lot of folks have switched to the machines that use cups or the dreaded coffeepads. When i travel by train i tend to get coffee at places that have the real italian espresso machines and beans, much better. Don't like starbucks.
I think there's a sense that coffee is a sit down, slow down moment in the Netherlands, and walking around with it would ruin that. You have to pay attention to traffic and the people around you, the stops of your bus/tram/train etc instead of just focusing on the coffee. As for the nespresso machines; I just have an old fashioned filter machine. Cheap, easily customisable, you get to add cinnamon and stuff and brew for lots of people at the same time, it's perfect in my book.
Wow Love your videos but I don’t know where you get your coffee in the Netherlands but it’s way way better than in the USA Ever tried a cup like at a Denny’s Yes, “ slootwater would be correct” And Starbucks regular coffee is nasty and bitter Than again their espresso shot are so weak that you might as well dring regular milk instead of their latte’s(and of course latte stands for milk after all) as so can’t hardly taste the coffee Nope, I’ll take a Dutch cup of coffee anytime gezellig with friends or family I was born in the Netherlands and now live in California Luckily found a local Yemeni coffee shop. They really know how to make coffee! Anyhow love your videos
I used to only drink coffee but when it started to feel like the biggest chore on the planet I couldnt do it anymore I'd scoop the coffee into the coffee maker and fill the pot with water so I could just pour the water in the next morning and even though I made it the same way every single time it tasted diff every single time. Not to mention having to constantly running out of sugar or creamer or the coffee so I just quit drinking it. Now i only drink cappuccino.
Coffee in New York tasted burned to almost incinerated. I think it's a matter of what you're used to. I for me didn't like the American coffee. There was only one coffeetrader at 5th avenue who really had good coffee and he even told me that American coffee in general was bugger, at least that was his opinion. Can't oppose an American on this subject;-)
You didn't talk about 'koffie verkeerd'. A lot of foreign people find it funny. And a lot of Dutch people drink their coffee black, with nothing in it. How is that in America? Do they always use sugar and milk?
I know, that you posted this video a few months ago. Supermarket coffee in the US, like Folgers or Maxwell are horrendous. Doesn’t look or smell like coffee. And you have the specialized coffee. Like Peet’s or Coffee bean and tea leaf, which IMO are the best coffee. Even better than the Dutch like DE. but the prices of those coffee bags are pretty expensive. Starbucks roast their beans too much, what gives a burned flavor. What I personally don’t like, but many in the US do. But it’s still better than the supermarket coffee from the US.
How do you even manage to sleep? haha In movies it always struck me that the coffee was so seethrough so I thought was weak but it makes sense if they roast it a lot harder and then add more water but I don't think that would taste very nice to me. But I'm not a coffee lover, I just used to drink it with a lot of milk and sugar. It does smell nice though. I like tea, organic green tea with earl grey flavoring. I think americans probably spend way too much money and time standing in line for other people to make them stuff.
Starbucks is alright, I like the flavoured sweetend ones. In the Netherlands I drink lattes when I'm drinking my coffee in a public place. At home we have normal coffee. Just normal, not to strong not te watery. But when I had coffee at a Denny's in Florida for breakfast it tasted like "slootwater". So dull, watery. Different in tastes depend on what you get to used to I suppose.
I do not really like coffee, rather drink hot chocolademilk (Hot coco). (In the Netherlands automatic machines in most places have that function to). But I do drink it on work each morning to wake up. And then go to tea or cola xD But yeah, it's very different from the American version of coffee drinking. In all ways, we are more spending time, to enjoy a good cup of coffee. Then being quick/fast in drinking it. We like to enjoy the smaller things in live when we can.
Every morning enjoying my cup a joe with foamed milk and mascarpone 😛 and cinnamon. After that, all day herbal teas. Guess I’m a real Dutchie ey 😃 Loved coffee in the US but not the diner Wendy type of coffee, that’s way to watery (does this make any sense). Starbucks with added espresso shots are a treat though. Nice to follow you Joey, and nice to know you’ll aaaallllways love me 😉 LOL Maybe nice to explore the difference from living in a city Centre in the USA or Netherlands and same for living in the country. They’re all so different
I like coffee in the morn. Then tea. I love to sit down with my coffee as well. I can not drink and walk with coffee. Also love my sweet with a cup of coffee.
Me : Always Cappuccino with Sugar, or Latte Macchiato, I just don`t like Black Coffee its to strong for me. but it`s true we have alot of Shops were the coffee is horrible. A Lot of the time i just wait till i get home because I love my own Cappuccino from our Nespresso Coffee Machine.
You might be surprised by this, but people in the Netherlands are one of the biggest coffee drinkers in the world, like double the amount per person compared to the US.
Why don't you enjoy your coffee???? That is why you sit down, to enjoy it, if you walk around you're not focussed on what you're drinking so that's why we sit down. Coffee is precious, we learned that in world war II so that's why we sit down. It's not something common, it's a treat.
Coffee is a staple 'food' for me, on average 12 mugs per day. Favourite brand Lidl espresso, I buy only buy the beans and grind them, that way I can vary the strength as I see fit. Consumption is around 1.5 kg per month for me alone...
WOOOOOOWW!! Thats so amazing you are my hero hahahahah I thought I drank a lot of coffee. What machine do you use to make your espresso, or do you just make black coffee?
Joey Jaq normally I make my coffee per 4 i.e. per two mugs. A Krupps coffee maker or an Silly machine. Just the then is the coffee ultra fine grind. Oh before I forget, Lidl sells the same coffee per 500gr no need for a grinder. Though I don't know about how fine the grind is.
Joey!! heb je net ontdekt and i LOVE YOURE VIDS!!!!! serieus geen goede koffie hier??? kom op zeg! wij drinken tressoro koffie dat is een kleine branderij voor koffie bonen ze doen het in een beperkte oplage dus als er koffiebonen zijn dan halen wij deze in dozen tegelijk tressoro is verkrijgbaar bij deen supermarkt of Vomar groetjes uit Avenhorn
I’m in The Netherlands with my fiancé, and where’s the iced coffee?! I hate that it’s so hard to find iced coffee drinks here. But I’ve found that I like the senseo machine coffee here and add ice (which is another difference-ice cube bags 🤯). I just make a triple batch because they’re so small!
Clearly you don´t go to the right place for coffee ;) Also, the tea for the rest of the day is rather subjective. I myself live coffee and dream coffee. On A side note, your videos are strangely fascinating and you sir are one big ball of good vibes. Love the vids!
Hi Joey, Take care, if you keep defying Dutch coffee you do not qualify for true citizenship. That is taste-related. American coffee is slootwater (water from the ditch). Yes and Starbucks is not roasted coffee, it is burnt 100%. Oh and a request: bring back this crazy Dutch girl friend from the beginning. Just for once. She was fun.
It's all a matter of taste, of course, but I find Starbucks coffee disgusting. One hour after drinking a cup I have an aftertaste in my mouth as if I've been eating dead rats. I do love frappuccino, though. And watching your videos. You're such a vibrant person.
In Rotterdam it is more of a american coffee culture, lets say in the buissness cities with like large sky scrapers its more common because of time. But I can tell you I personally buy allot of coffee on the go. And do get stared at in a way of . Why would you spend your money like that.
Me? darkroast all the way. You want some serious coffee. Get yourself and your boyfriend to Italy and just order coffee the way we all would over here. You'll be served this tiny little thimble of a cup with a little bit of coffee inside that will grab your ears and scream at you … 'HELLOOOOO ….. ANYBODY HOME." But when done right. SO good.
So funny he always says 'I don't want to offend anybody' while the Dutch are about the chilliest people in the world l. It is really hard to offend a Dutch person!
Everywhere i went in diners in the USA i got coffee which tasted like water... Ok you can have refills but it still tasted like water from a sewage... strabucks is just to fucked up and thank god its NOT populair here
You drink the wrong coffee, Douwe Egberts coffee when good made, taste way better then US made coffee. Automatics in holland mostly poor made, specially those worse gas stations that use that US crap.
coffee culture is on the decline here, thanks to the god awful senseo/nespresso contraptions (real coffee does not have a frothy layer, ugh) really don't care for starbucks either, the whole atmosphere in those places makes my skin crawl, and then the ordering in those places... It's my addiction to caffeine that occasionally gets me in there but I've said more then once to the nice barista girl "honey I just want some straight up black coffee to wake me up, keep the sales pitch for the lady behind me with the unicorn hair." it could be that my experience of these places is a bit skewed, I'm only there when I desperately need some coffee, god knows I turn into a bitch when I'm that desperate. I need my shot of caffeine before I hit the shower, and another when I get out of the shower. My coffee maker is like a family member, and the only one I'm actually glad to see in the morning. god I really am a bitch, Don't drive a car though.
If you have been here long enough, you'll forget that horrible American coffee. ( I hope for you ).. And if coffee is a beverage to enjoy, sit down and ENJOY your coffee; concentrate on your drink in stead off running around without the pleasure of enjoying your drink. If it is liquid you need.......take water. Learn about coffee and stop using that very, very POOR Starbucks drinks. As far as I'm concerned, Starbucks doesn't even rate as mediocre.
Starbucks is overpriced garbage, should be banned from of Europe. I like my coffee black and strong in a big cup. When I was living in Thailand I always had to order Americano, which felt really weird because from my perspective that means bad coffee, lol. I have never been to the US but everyone I know who went there tells me breakfast and coffee is horrible in the US.

There's no such thing as "Dutch coffee", unless you mean brands like Douwe Egberts or Kanis & Gunninck. Otherwise all sorts of coffee can be found in the Netherlands.
Very true, I mean European coffee actually.
www.dutch-coffee.nl/dutch-coffee/
Yeah... Best not to be ignorant when telling people off eh?....
@@BillyBoze I wasn't telling anybody off, I was only explaining that we do not have coffee plantations. And the link you provided is about "Dutch coffee", which isn't about the coffee or where it came from, but it's about a special way to make coffee (the drink, not the bean). So you best read the text at that link before calling someone ignorant. Eh?
no "dutch coffee" is an actual thing, maybe you should google
@@NeoOnyx while youre at google, type in dutch kingdom and see where all the dutch coffee plantations were, they had a lot.
I love to drink coffee al day but it comes with some bad physical side effects, so mixing it up with thea helps to diminish those side effects 😅 very nice comparison video 👍
Yes for sure I’ve started drinking a little more tea.
There are webshops where you can buy good quality coffeebeans, and there is a variety of dark roasted coffeebeans, although there are not cheap. You do need to own a good coffeemaker, one that grinds the beans itself first and than makes the coffee. That is way better than coffee from Starbucks, Starbucks sucks. That is my opinion of course.
You have tried the filter coffee from Starbucks, im finding it to be a trend here to say Starbucks such but people who are saying that have actually never tried it.
I am actually the opposite. for me the strength of the coffee doesn't matter whether its roasted darkly or not it's usually based on the extraction. For me, the issue in the Netherlands is that they almost exclusively sell medium to dark roast coffee. I like light roast cause its more nuanced and doesn't hide the flavor. Dark roast is practically caramel or chocolate only.
I work at the bakker bart and live in a little village, not even a city. But when someone asks me if they can get it to go, it's totally normal. But you are right when you say that the cups are very small. Your videos are awesome😍
Every day 1 latte macciato tops 2. And I sit while drinking. Sometimes on my way to work in my car but mostly on the couch(sofa) to enjoy it! I have a philips machine that steams the milk and has a Saeco grinder :)
mcmarlot sounds lekker!!!!!! ☕️ ❤️
We drink coffee in normal ( as you say small) cups. What i've seen in the movies , the americans use a flower vase the drink the coffee. Thats so yuk :)
Coffee here is about quality over quantity nowadays. But it used to be more like in The States. Just a bigger cup with something brown in it that, to most of us nowadays, tastes like how we call it ""canalwater". Just a watery version of what we now get. I think in Europe we are at least love to think that we live and we take our time to enjoy where as it seems that in the US it is about rushing from one moment to another without actually enjoying those moments. But that is a generalised view, bit blak and white but that I think is our Dutch perception.Most people I know who drink ar Starbucks just think it is not good quality at all. Me being Portugese with probably the best espresso's in the world really do not get why there is a Starbucks in Lisbon in the first place...Probably for the tourists but it is just very low grade, bad quality to us. Dutch coffee from our perspective is better and it is a Dutch as Spaghetti is: it is mainly Italian and based on an Italian wayt to make coffee. But that as an aside.
Most Dutch people drink a lot of coffee during the day. I think tea is getting more popular because it's healthier (when it's not black that is). We also have the expression: we're going to drink coffee/let's drink coffee, when we just mean it's time to sit together and have a drink. But usually 9/10 people will want coffee, trust me. When I lived in England it was the other way around and most people would choose tea of course and this was really notable to me as a Dutch person.
Also I think we have the biggest cup of coffee in Europe. I'm not sure about Scandanavia but in a lot of other European countries you'll need to order 'an Americano' to get a Dutch amount. If you order 'coffee' you'll get an espresso. So thought it was kind of funny that you think we drink less and also drink smaller volumes 'cause we probably drink the most coffee of all European countries and larger volumes aswell.
Oh and a lot of people have just an old fashioned coffee machine at home so you can decide on the ratio coffee and water yourself. I must admit I have a nespresso machine, I think it's fine. But a lot of Dutch people know the difference between an 'ok' cup of coffee and a 'good' cup of coffee which is made by a real coffee machine with real beans. I think the bean flavor is actually the biggest difference. It can definitely be strong here aswell but we define a good cup of coffee more by the quality of the beans and the machine I think than how dark roasted it is.
From the other comments I see that American coffee is more watery tasting to Dutch people although it might be dark roasted (and therefor you like it). So I think you should try a dark roasted Dutch coffee (not from starbucks) to really be able to compare the taste.
Can you do a video on American vs Dutch Fashion?
Absolutely this is on my list!!! Don't you worry honey I gotchu!! ♥️
Paulien van Hummel yess
When you do, please, include shoes... still can't understand the sneaker thing. Horrible, horrible and shouldn't be called shoes.
@@Paul_C Not when you wearing a suit. .that's so awful
I always thought that Dutch people did drink the most coffee. Like in this article: www.hpdetijd.nl/2014-06-09/nederlanders-drinken-verreweg-de-meeste-koppen-koffie/ (sorry it's dutch)
Yes you're right! Together with the Scandinavian countries. More anyway than Americans
Wow thats so cool to see...I love that, I have to say I love how you guys drink it all the time and yet enjoy it and make it a ritual! Plus coffee at night was so foreign to me until I moved here hahahaha.
Do you mean like drinking coffee in the evening at around 20:00? I don't often drink coffee much later, unless I go out at weekends.
Ik heb nog een "oude" filterkoffie machinesnaast mijn andere koffie machines zodat ik zelf kan kiezen hoe sterk me koffie is. Heb t idee dat veel mensen in Nederland soort of mega koffie drinkers zijn of mega thee drinkers en de mensen die alleen sochtens koffie hebben vaak ook meerdere in de ochtend hebben. Ik start me dag echt niet zonder 3 sterke filterkoffie hahaha
Dutch coffee culture has changed over the last few decades, it used to be that most households and workplaces had a perculator machine wich brewed big pots of strong coffee kind of like the ones you see waitresses walking with in diners in hollywood movies. Espresso or lattés were a rare thing, nowadays a lot of folks have switched to the machines that use cups or the dreaded coffeepads.
When i travel by train i tend to get coffee at places that have the real italian espresso machines and beans, much better. Don't like starbucks.
The Dutch make some very high quality coffee makers (Moccamaster) czcams.com/video/W8_NXtwr-qg/video.html
I think there's a sense that coffee is a sit down, slow down moment in the Netherlands, and walking around with it would ruin that. You have to pay attention to traffic and the people around you, the stops of your bus/tram/train etc instead of just focusing on the coffee.
As for the nespresso machines; I just have an old fashioned filter machine. Cheap, easily customisable, you get to add cinnamon and stuff and brew for lots of people at the same time, it's perfect in my book.
Wow
Love your videos but I don’t know where you get your coffee in the Netherlands but it’s way way better than in the USA
Ever tried a cup like at a Denny’s
Yes, “ slootwater would be correct”
And Starbucks regular coffee is nasty and bitter
Than again their espresso shot are so weak that you might as well dring regular milk instead of their latte’s(and of course latte stands for milk after all) as so can’t hardly taste the coffee
Nope, I’ll take a Dutch cup of coffee anytime gezellig with friends or family
I was born in the Netherlands and now live in California
Luckily found a local Yemeni coffee shop. They really know how to make coffee!
Anyhow love your videos
Darker the roast the least amount of caffeine there is. Lighter the roast the more caffeine and original flavor and notes from the coffee
I used to only drink coffee but when it started to feel like the biggest chore on the planet I couldnt do it anymore I'd scoop the coffee into the coffee maker and fill the pot with water so I could just pour the water in the next morning and even though I made it the same way every single time it tasted diff every single time. Not to mention having to constantly running out of sugar or creamer or the coffee so I just quit drinking it. Now i only drink cappuccino.
Coffee in New York tasted burned to almost incinerated. I think it's a matter of what you're used to. I for me didn't like the American coffee. There was only one coffeetrader at 5th avenue who really had good coffee and he even told me that American coffee in general was bugger, at least that was his opinion. Can't oppose an American on this subject;-)
You didn't talk about 'koffie verkeerd'. A lot of foreign people find it funny. And a lot of Dutch people drink their coffee black, with nothing in it. How is that in America? Do they always use sugar and milk?
I know, that you posted this video a few months ago.
Supermarket coffee in the US, like Folgers or Maxwell are horrendous. Doesn’t look or smell like coffee.
And you have the specialized coffee. Like Peet’s or Coffee bean and tea leaf, which IMO are the best coffee. Even better than the Dutch like DE. but the prices of those coffee bags are pretty expensive.
Starbucks roast their beans too much, what gives a burned flavor. What I personally don’t like, but many in the US do. But it’s still better than the supermarket coffee from the US.
How do you even manage to sleep? haha In movies it always struck me that the coffee was so seethrough so I thought was weak but it makes sense if they roast it a lot harder and then add more water but I don't think that would taste very nice to me. But I'm not a coffee lover, I just used to drink it with a lot of milk and sugar. It does smell nice though. I like tea, organic green tea with earl grey flavoring.
I think americans probably spend way too much money and time standing in line for other people to make them stuff.
I make my own coffee fresh. It's delicious.
Onze koffie is een zegen in vergelijking met dat afwaswater in Amerika, niet te drinken ( starbucks to go)
My fave is cappuccino with applepie wich is topped with whipped cream. Only drink coffee all day when I'm working. When at home, I drink tea.
Cappuccino with apple pie this sounds like heaven I want it now!
I'm dutch, but my boyfriend is from Portugal. There are truly small coffee's! In mini cups
Starbucks is alright, I like the flavoured sweetend ones. In the Netherlands I drink lattes when I'm drinking my coffee in a public place. At home we have normal coffee. Just normal, not to strong not te watery. But when I had coffee at a Denny's in Florida for breakfast it tasted like "slootwater". So dull, watery. Different in tastes depend on what you get to used to I suppose.
I do not really like coffee, rather drink hot chocolademilk (Hot coco). (In the Netherlands automatic machines in most places have that function to). But I do drink it on work each morning to wake up. And then go to tea or cola xD
But yeah, it's very different from the American version of coffee drinking. In all ways, we are more spending time, to enjoy a good cup of coffee. Then being quick/fast in drinking it. We like to enjoy the smaller things in live when we can.
My father once went to the USA for his work, and when he came back he said the coffee there was way too weak.
When you get a cup of coffee that's not totally full, we call it a 'Haags bakkie' (a cup from The Hague).
Every morning enjoying my cup a joe with foamed milk and mascarpone 😛 and cinnamon. After that, all day herbal teas. Guess I’m a real Dutchie ey 😃
Loved coffee in the US but not the diner Wendy type of coffee, that’s way to watery (does this make any sense). Starbucks with added espresso shots are a treat though.
Nice to follow you Joey, and nice to know you’ll aaaallllways love me 😉 LOL
Maybe nice to explore the difference from living in a city Centre in the USA or Netherlands and same for living in the country. They’re all so different
what is their favorite tea? I am curious. I liked this video & hope to have cafe someday.
Dark roast has less caffeine. You want caffeine, get light roast.
I like coffee in the morn. Then tea. I love to sit down with my coffee as well. I can not drink and walk with coffee. Also love my sweet with a cup of coffee.
I'm Dutch and I actually don't like Starbucks coffee, it's... Sweet, I don't understand why XD
If you have a Senseo, try the Perla pads (extra dark). Available at your favorite Albert Heijn.
Couldn’t agree more
Me : Always Cappuccino with Sugar, or Latte Macchiato, I just don`t like Black Coffee its to strong for me.
but it`s true we have alot of Shops were the coffee is horrible. A Lot of the time i just wait till i get home because I love my own Cappuccino from our Nespresso Coffee Machine.
You might be surprised by this, but people in the Netherlands are one of the biggest coffee drinkers in the world, like double the amount per person compared to the US.
I know that now!! Love it!
Does American coffee taste like starbucks everywhere?
Get up in time in the morning. And make your own coffee at home. Enjoy your own home ever day.
Why don't you enjoy your coffee???? That is why you sit down, to enjoy it, if you walk around you're not focussed on what you're drinking so that's why we sit down. Coffee is precious, we learned that in world war II so that's why we sit down. It's not something common, it's a treat.
Dont like dutch coffee says some one that drinks dishwater cofee from america. We call coloured water .
I also moved to the Netherlands this year. Still couldn't find the good coffee..
Walking around with coffee is a art that the americans have mastered. When i walk around with a cup of coffee i and up spilling it on myself 🤦♀️
Coffee is a staple 'food' for me, on average 12 mugs per day. Favourite brand Lidl espresso, I buy only buy the beans and grind them, that way I can vary the strength as I see fit. Consumption is around 1.5 kg per month for me alone...
WOOOOOOWW!! Thats so amazing you are my hero hahahahah I thought I drank a lot of coffee. What machine do you use to make your espresso, or do you just make black coffee?
Joey Jaq normally I make my coffee per 4 i.e. per two mugs. A Krupps coffee maker or an Silly machine. Just the then is the coffee ultra fine grind. Oh before I forget, Lidl sells the same coffee per 500gr no need for a grinder. Though I don't know about how fine the grind is.
Is the lidl koffie lekker? Ik heb het nooit geprobeerd!
Joey spreekt ook Nederlands??
Ja ik spreek het maar niet zo mooi hahahah maar denk ik dat mensen begrijp wat ik zeg.
Joey!! heb je net ontdekt and i LOVE YOURE VIDS!!!!! serieus geen goede koffie hier??? kom op zeg!
wij drinken tressoro koffie dat is een kleine branderij voor koffie bonen ze doen het in een beperkte oplage dus als er koffiebonen zijn dan halen wij deze in dozen tegelijk tressoro is verkrijgbaar bij deen supermarkt of Vomar groetjes uit Avenhorn
I’m in The Netherlands with my fiancé, and where’s the iced coffee?! I hate that it’s so hard to find iced coffee drinks here. But I’ve found that I like the senseo machine coffee here and add ice (which is another difference-ice cube bags 🤯). I just make a triple batch because they’re so small!
Its nog hot enough all year round to get stuff iced all the time. Anyway all super markets sell ice coffee, just check the dairy section
iced coffee is 1) sold everywhere 2) so are ice cubes 3) what are you even talking about
what kind of cofee do you buy? soft?
you have extra strong dark roast in the store?
Clearly you don´t go to the right place for coffee ;)
Also, the tea for the rest of the day is rather subjective. I myself live coffee and dream coffee.
On A side note, your videos are strangely fascinating and you sir are one big ball of good vibes.
Love the vids!
Yay a big ball of good vibes is the perfect compliment!! Thanks so much!!! ❤️
Can I suggest la Mano Maestra innThe Hague? You like strong coffee? You will fly back to Amsterdam. Also starbucks ... coffee? Really??
Yup same here when i was in the states the coffee was very bad tasting "slootwater" not strong at all....
Hi Joey, Take care, if you keep defying Dutch coffee you do not qualify for true citizenship. That is taste-related. American coffee is slootwater (water from the ditch). Yes and Starbucks is not roasted coffee, it is burnt 100%. Oh and a request: bring back this crazy Dutch girl friend from the beginning. Just for once. She was fun.
i drink black cup of coffee every day
It's all a matter of taste, of course, but I find Starbucks coffee disgusting. One hour after drinking a cup I have an aftertaste in my mouth as if I've been eating dead rats. I do love frappuccino, though. And watching your videos. You're such a vibrant person.
Hey, relax, sit down and enjoy life.
Watching this with a cup of coffee.
LEKKKKER!
Haha, now I know why you are such a stuiterbal. Nice video again Joey. Love to see more!
Schat hoe lief ben jij! Im always the person with too much energy 😂!!!
The better places will give you a shot of water next to your coffee.
I am Dutch: If I go to the UK and I want a coffee with a Dutch "strength" , I order an Americano.
makes no sense
In Rotterdam it is more of a american coffee culture, lets say in the buissness cities with like large sky scrapers its more common because of time.
But I can tell you I personally buy allot of coffee on the go. And do get stared at in a way of . Why would you spend your money like that.
Yes absolutely but honey yolo life is too short to make your own coffee. 😉
@@JoeyJaq
Then you fail life lol.
You try Melbourne coffee culture
Me? darkroast all the way. You want some serious coffee. Get yourself and your boyfriend to Italy and just order coffee the way we all would over here. You'll be served this tiny little thimble of a cup with a little bit of coffee inside that will grab your ears and scream at you … 'HELLOOOOO ….. ANYBODY HOME." But when done right. SO good.
Yessssss omg I love coffee that slaps me in the face...I will definitely be heading to Italy for some coffee!!!! ♥️
Starbucks is limonade for adults
So funny he always says 'I don't want to offend anybody' while the Dutch are about the chilliest people in the world l. It is really hard to offend a Dutch person!
Hahahaha its an American habit Hahahah!! So for no one had been offended by any videos I think. 🤞🏽
Everywhere i went in diners in the USA i got coffee which tasted like water... Ok you can have refills but it still tasted like water from a sewage... strabucks is just to fucked up and thank god its NOT populair here
Coffey Jaq
You have learn to drink it the Dutch way 😉
When are you coming to nyc
☕️☕️☕️
A DUTCHIE IN STOCKHOLM / LORRAINE BRANRATU ♥️♥️♥️
Oh you poor boy. You really don't now how a real Italian espresso or French coffee tastes. So used to drink that crap who Starbucks calls 'coffee'.
Dutch coffee not strong enough... and you go to starbucks in america..
You drink the wrong coffee, Douwe Egberts coffee when good made, taste way better then US made coffee.
Automatics in holland mostly poor made, specially those worse gas stations that use that US crap.
coffee culture is on the decline here, thanks to the god awful senseo/nespresso contraptions (real coffee does not have a frothy layer, ugh) really don't care for starbucks either, the whole atmosphere in those places makes my skin crawl, and then the ordering in those places... It's my addiction to caffeine that occasionally gets me in there but I've said more then once to the nice barista girl "honey I just want some straight up black coffee to wake me up, keep the sales pitch for the lady behind me with the unicorn hair." it could be that my experience of these places is a bit skewed, I'm only there when I desperately need some coffee, god knows I turn into a bitch when I'm that desperate.
I need my shot of caffeine before I hit the shower, and another when I get out of the shower. My coffee maker is like a family member, and the only one I'm actually glad to see in the morning.
god I really am a bitch, Don't drive a car though.
If you have been here long enough, you'll forget that horrible American coffee. ( I hope for you ).. And if coffee is a beverage to enjoy, sit down and ENJOY your coffee; concentrate on your drink in stead off running around without the pleasure of enjoying your drink. If it is liquid you need.......take water. Learn about coffee and stop using that very, very POOR Starbucks drinks. As far as I'm concerned, Starbucks doesn't even rate as mediocre.
Are you kidding my coffee is my breakfast lunch end dinner!? You wanna know how dutch really are take away their coffee for one day! lol.....not
Starbucks is overpriced garbage, should be banned from of Europe.
I like my coffee black and strong in a big cup.
When I was living in Thailand I always had to order Americano, which felt really weird because from my perspective that means bad coffee, lol. I have never been to the US but everyone I know who went there tells me breakfast and coffee is horrible in the US.
coffee is really just drugs :p
no coffee is a plant
Starbucks coffee is like turdwater.🤮🤮
Mmmm lekker!!!
