I think the correct term for that usage would be "schadenfreude".

LOL ... Yes, the Deutsche can capture much in a single word.

Yes, but to be fair, some of those words are 40+ letters long, so when you do a comparitive analysis of impact per letter in English and German, it's not such a big deal.

True, if you count those crazy compound nouns as single words. I have a German-English technical dictionary (somewhere) of post-WWII vintage that has some amazingly long words for various rocket parts.

LOL!!!! For some reason this has made my morning. (It probably wouldn't be as funny if I were an Englander.)

Germans are very efficient, why use superfluous spaces and waste paper. Quite unlike the English who have a fondness to overuse the letter 'U'.

Top-O'-the-Morn Leo. You ever change your coffee type?

Sometimes. I usually do blends, not single-origin beans. My main coffee is Eight O'Clock Dark Italian Roast, but sometimes I'll buy Peet's, usually a French Roast. My sister got me some beans from a local roaster...can't remember the name...but it reminds me that there are some nice local roasters around here that I want to try. I tend to prefer darker roasts but I'm willing to go medium sometimes.

I think I mentioned one of the local roasters - you'd like them because Cook would be welcome and could make some friends while you drink yummy coffee. It's called Coffee Lab Roasters. There are always dogs hanging out in that place.

This picture was from Coffee Labs about 9-10 years ago when I first got my 645.

I much prefer single to blends ... must be the purest in me. Cook would love to have her morning cup with other four-legged friends. This morning Cook was over here and her blanket was over there ... Mary Lou picks up the blanket and before she rewraps Cook up, Cook lets out this low and long moan of contentment.

I am planning on planting a coffee and tea bush for that extra kick of freshness. (Been thinking about it for a couple of years ... I have best get around to it.)

Think happy thoughts and it will all be over before you can say schadenfreude.

I hadn't thought of planting my own coffee bush, but I have played with the idea of buying green beans and roasting them myself. A bit too much else going on at the moment to attempt that project but it's there in my brain now, and that means it's never going away

I have an Ethiopian friend who sometimes does a full Ethiopian coffee ritual. They start with green beans that they get from a friend who travels to Ethiopia a good bit, and move through the whole process of roasting, grinding, brewing, all done in a very ritualistic, ceremonial manner. It's fascinating to watch, and the result is pretty delicious too.
