Fin Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 Yes... the best damn coffee does not come from Starbucks and I'm going to teach you how to make it. The method is as ancient as 15'th century Turkish coffee and you don't need a $100 K-Cup or $200 Espresso machine that clutters your counter to make it. There is no acidic after taste and you get the full body flavor of a French Press without messy cleanup and filters. So, here it is, easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy. Get yourself a bag of your favorite flavored ground coffee. Get yourself a pot and add 4 cups of water. Add 2 teaspoons of that brown gold. Bring it to a boil and let it simmer for a few minutes, maybe five. With a fine filter strain the coffee into a serving vessel and your cup. All the grounds should be in the strainer and can be easily dumped in the trash. Rinse an put away... you're done! Now, if you want to throw two eggs into the pot and do a 5 minute egg while camping or whatever, now you got your self a complete breakfast.

TimTheAzn Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 So, basically a french press without the ease of a french press? Difference being the simmering part instead of letting it seep off-heat? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gixxus Christ! Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 Boiling coffee extracts tannins which make it bitter. Best coffee is half and half Sumatra and Italian roasted arabica cold steeped or made with a French press. I prefer cold steeping as it doesn't extract tannins or bitter oils, also because I like ridiculously strong iced coffee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gixxus Christ! Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 Try bringing the water to a boil, then removing from heat and adding the coffee.. Also try differentiating between teaspoons and tablespoons. Definitely try cold steeping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you are using a grind finer than medium ground (typical peculator grind) you really don't need that much coffee. Turkish, extra fine, is outstanding but you're practically eating the coffee if you don't wait for the grounds to settle. And even when the grinds do settle, you are still eating the bean. Espresso, fine, is great for ramrodding pressurized heated water through it. You are still eating bean but not as bad as Turkish coffee. But medium fine to fine is great for my process. You are still eating some bean, but you are also trapping the grounds with the filter. To make Turkish coffee you use 1 teaspoon of coffee for every 3 oz of water, that's about 10 teaspoons for my 4 cups of water. And you drink Turkish coffee when the grinds are finally settled after the pour. It's thick as mud. I used to drink coffee like that but that's too much effort, and not enough holding a warm cup enjoyment. I'm not living in the 6th century and need to run off on my camel somewhere. For normal potted coffee Maxwell suggests 24 teaspoons of medium ground coffee for 10 cups coffee. That's 9.6 teaspoons for my 4 cups of water. Now, compare a cup of Turkish coffee with a cup of Maxwell. They use nearly the same amount of coffee to water but have a different process and a very different grind. You will see that the Turkish coffee is much, much stronger, blacker, thicker and full flavored. That's because all the flavor is removed from the bean and some of it is floating as a cloud in the water. This also explains why you have to use a mountain of coffee to make your cup of joe. Not only are you using a medium grind there's also no bean cloud in your water. And hot water releases so much complex flavors of the bean. Adding heat is a chemistry which allows different molecules of flavors to be formed. Your cold water specifically does not release acids and tannin which is useful for people with sensitive stomachs when it comes to acid. Just as I cannot image eating French Onion soup made from cold water, to me coffee made the same way will have the same results. But... keeping an open mind, and having done my research. I'm willing to give it a shot. What can I say, I like science and food. If you and I meet at an event we'll have to share our coffees and broaden our horizons.https://ineedcoffee.com/coffee-grind-charthttp://www.turkishcoffeeworld.com/How-to-make-Turkish-Coffee-s/54.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zx3vfr Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 Ill just keep drinking my Tim hortons k cups at work and at home tea. And no not your pussy bitch Americanized beverage. I either do Yorkshire or PG tips. I've given those 2 to "seasoned" tea drinkers who claim Lipton earl grey is good tea. And they can't drink the tea I drink because it is too manly tasting.

JustinNck1 Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 I'm glad I don't drink coffee. I'm already running late almost every morning anyways. I wouldn't have time to do all this stuff. I like my morning drink: protein scoop, ice, water, shake. Done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
