being a snob is not a bad thing imo. just means that you have particular, refined tastes about something that you're not willing to compromise. everyone should be snobbish about some things. just not be a hipster dick about it if people don't share in your snobbery.

for me:
coffee and literature. I won't drink drip coffee or standard starbucks brands anymore. just can't do it. I'll tolerate a french press, but I prefer a moka pot. I like kona coffee best (pref peaberry, medium to dark roast), but I really dig s. american coffee (mostly dark). I don't like the lighter bodied, citrusy shit. Most African coffee is too acidic for my tastes

for fiction, def a snob. I don't read Dean Koontz/Dan Brown/etc. I can get down with some Michael Crichton, but that's because I read him as a kid and it stuck - I don't like his writing much at all, more so his imagination. probably lowest brow writing I'll read is a Chuck Palahniuk caliber, but I tend to prefer the Salman Rushdies and William Boyds of the world, just such a brilliant attention to craft.

in a site so packed with opinion, surely there are more snobs about one thing or another?
