☕ - The hot beverage that powers the world!
Coffee gadgets - It's always great to learn about new gadgets. Please share your favorite hardware or full setups. It might inspire newcomers to experiment!
Local businesses - Please promote your local businesses. If you are not the owner of the business you are promoting, kindly ask the owner if it's okay. It would be great if the business has a physical store to include an exterior or interior shot.
So this is what I have found as a working solution
Boil about a quarter cup of water. It must be as hot as possible.
Add a heaped tea spoon or two (depending on your preference).
Let it steep for a few minutes, the filter/sieve.
You end up with black liquid as indicated.
I top mine off with hot milk.
That's it. That is what is working for me.
Thanks for the tips.
You should buy a chemex or french press. Much better results than cowboy coffee.
I have a French Press, but I like cowboy coffee.
There are steep and release brewers like the Hario Switch and Clever Dripper. If you want to branch out.
Once you run out of this ultra-charred-roast, consider trying some light-roast next time. IMO dark roast requires milk to cover the bitter notes, whereas light-roast is perfectly fine without any milk.
What ended up being the problem? :)
Quantity, and heat. Plus not using water to extract. Milk doesn't cut it in this case.
Glad you solved it! Enjoy
Thanks for sharing your brewing method. I had never considered this, and based on the last post, a lot of people don't either. I'm glad you got it tasting the way you like!
