coffee tips?
It's sad that this group is mostly spam for dodgy products...
If there's any real people still reading, do you have any good coffee-making tips? Here's mine: Let the water sit for a while after it boils, so it can cool down a bit, before adding to the coffee. It tastes, much, much better than coffee made with water near boiling. I just turn off the kettle and grind the coffee at that point; the delay from grinding and futzing around seems to be enough to make a huge difference in taste (I have a manual grinder, so it's a bit slow). [I get the impression that it's pretty well-known that the correct temperature for making coffee is around 90 C, but... I didn't know it for a long time!] Here's a question: Do typical coffee-makers somehow cool the water before it hits the coffee? -Miles -- The car has become... an article of dress without which we feel uncertain, unclad, and incomplete.

Your idea, if you're using a kettle, to let it cool a bit sounds right to me. We do the same thing, but even more so, for tea, which seems to like an even lower temperature. We usually add a bit of cold water to the pot. -S- |

Here's to Making Great Tasting Coffee
Look around in superstores and coffee shops. Tell them your preference in flavor, and you stand a better chance of finding the right kind for you. *Grind the proper amount. If the brewing process is quick, the grind should be fine; if the process takes more time, the grind should be more coarse. Only grind as much coffee as you will immediately use. . *Brew it directly after you grind it. The flavors disappear quickly after the coffee has been grounded. You should brew it as soon as you can. *Drink it directly after you brew it. Coffee tastes best when it is fresh. The longer it sits, the more bitter it gets. Reheating coffee is a big no-no. *Drink it straight. Sugar, milk or cream really ruins the flavor of the coffee. If you must have these additions in your coffee, chances are you have never experienced really good coffee! _____________________ The Exhaust Warehouse and Catalytic Converters,is an Exhaust and Mufflers and Catalytic Converters Company seller exhaust systems, mufflers, converters Quote:
