Quantity, and heat. Plus not using water to extract. Milk doesn't cut it in this case.
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.
Thanks. I got a barebones VPS from Contabo.
My fiction writing site (www.gorillarepublic.co) runs off of Grav. I wanted to go DB free, so flat file was big, wanted to avoid WP and Ghost, so this became it. It's fast, light and works for me, thought it needed panel beating to where it is right now.
I'm late making up a cup of this. But I got it to work and want to share a recipe. This should be what I am drinking tomorrow, so I hopefully will post then.
My toe nail was like that. Introduced me to steel toe boots. Going to years now and its beginning to grow right. I feel you.
Did this in November. Then I got irritated by all the pain and removed the mangled nail, discovered pus and some liquid. Very painful. But it felt so good that night. Slowly watching the nail regrow.
I expected this. The coffee tastes like charcoal.
I've made progress in this whole situation, based on insight and feedback on this post, and will update tomorrow.
Tried this. Nothing. Boiled the water with the coffee in the microwave. Nothing.
Our culture is deeply rooted in milk. We make coffee with milk directly. It's a bit different from the norm, but for me, that rich milky thing is a big ticket item.
No. I mean that even ground coffee in a press blends/mixes in with hot water or whatever medium you are using. This, regardless of how hot the water is, in a French Press, boiled in a saucer cowboy style, or however else simply does not mix or blend. It just floats. I don't know how else to explain it.
My default coffee making is to heat milk, add coffee and steep it for a couple of minutes before I sieve it and voila.
This does not seem to work for this coffee. I have tried water, boiling it with the water or milk and it simply will not mix. What am I missing?
Edit: I know about grinding, I have a burr grinder, a French press and I know the various ways to make coffee. None of the methods I know, work.
Burr grinder = bar grinder. I made that mistake.

Above is one of my 2 year old nephew's favourite channels. He watches them everyday. For his parents who work from home, it's the greatest thing. If an ad comes up, he cries and they know something is up.
However, they are clicking the ok button on the TV far too often per video cause of this.
They run that 90+ sponsored content so frequently it's become crap. I've seen Land Rover ads, the one above is a house, and the most annoying is when they run other cartoons like Thomas the Tank Engine or something. If the kid wanted that, no problem. But right now the singing cats are his jam. Cars, property? Someone is paying actual money to get ads in front of 2 year old kids?
Tell me this isn't a scam.
I have a French Press, but I like cowboy coffee.
