In a recent AMA on Reddit, Joe Jonas โ one third of the Flying Jonas Brothers, but probably not the one that ended up becoming Robin โ took to the internet forum to answer questions from adoring fans.ย Being a self-described โcaffeine aficionado,โ Jonas gave his no-holds-barred coffee opinions. Turns out, he loves cold brew and specialty coffee clichรฉs.
During the AMA, Reddit user 12minute posed the question, โAs a budding coffee enthusiast, what is your coffee/espresso/crafted drink of choice?โ The ever-germane Jonas replied with:
So many questions here. Is Joe Jonas implying that the only place to get cold brew is at a โbougie third wave coffee spot?โ Why even have that two sentence screed apropos of nothing jammed in the middle of talking about how much he likes cold brew? The whole paragraph makes much more sense without it.
I mean, come on; if Joe Jonas isnโt at this very moment wearing a slouchy white v-neck tee with the sleeves cuffed, a big-brimmed hat with a feather or turquoise on the band, and some sort of long necklace with a whistle or maybe more turquoise dangling from it, Iโll eat my own head. Maybe he is completely spot on, but he just goes to the absolute worst spots because he is their target demographic.
Jonas does have a soft spot for those that take coffee seriously, mentioning his appreciation for the movie Barista and his plans to attend a competition one day to try out some of the signature beverages. Now, normally onlookers donโt get to a chance to taste those specialty concoctions (unless youโre working the media booth and you can steal one from the bus tub), but I guess when your brother is THE Nick Jonas, some exceptions can be made.
Being from a live AMA, itโs most likely that Jonasโ remarks were meant to be in good fun with no malice intended. But because they are on the internet, we get to overreact to the very thought of someone saying bad things about our preferences. Iโm guessing he didnโt really put much thought into the implications of what he was saying, kinda like he did with his new bandโs name. If you are going to leave it up to the audience to fill in the blank on the missing vowel, donโt assume theyโre necessarily going to choose an A over a U.
