Re: Coffee

another tip is, once you get your coffee, take it out of the bag and put it in airtight container.... preserves it a lot better, and makes it easier to work with, scoop

Re: Coffee

What does the press offer that I can't do with my espresso machine.

I fix 2 cups of coffee in the morning. I grind 4 oz of coffee extra fine, turkish style, and load my espresso machine. I then put 8 ounces of hot water in the top and pull 8 ounces of espresso. I put 4 ounces of espresso in each of two 6 oz cups on top of 1 tablespoon of sugar and add 2 oz of hot milk to each. This yields 2 6 oz cups of cordita, a very strong cuban coffee. Is there any advantage to doing this with a press because what I do now is plenty satisfying for me.

Re: Coffee



A leaf fluttered in through the window this morning, as if supported by the rays of the sun, a bird settled on the fire escape, joy in the task of coffee, joy accompanied me as I walked,
Buffy

a different experience...

i do 2 teaspoons, full with the top, per cup of coarsely ground bean, i will add one more tea spoon per 4 cups, and a dash of salt (100% natural sea salt) (brings out a smell and a little flavor). I also tend to go with natural cane sugar as my coffee sweetener, but not too much, and one more important ingredient, is dark chocolate with the cup, a couple of lumps of real high quality, dark chocolate. mmmm, makes my sunday morning

The USA "bottomless cups" is crap.

Fortunately in Australia because of the large Greek, Turkish and Italian population you can get a great cup of coffee if you know where to look.

The reason Starbucks has left Australia.

Re: Coffee

Michael, i agree, bottomless cup is crap, it is however unfair to say that noone in the US knows how to make real coffee. I mean there are people that are extremely dedicated to that, hence why i pay 40 bucks for a 1/2lb of coffee. I know bucks does not make decent coffee most of the time, though their doubleshot is pretty good, and you can always ask for a french press, and it may not be great coffee, it will be rather ok.

Though i did love the european coffee back when i lived there... i can't say that i haven't had as good or better coffee in the US, but it's certainly more common to have excellent coffee.
