it's true i don't know how to make it anymore, it always tastes like acid it's disgusting please help
― fantazy land (harbl), Wednesday, 20 May 2009 15:15 (fifteen years ago) link
i fill the coffeemaker up to the 8
4 regular scoops, 2 heaping scoops
i think the scoop holds a tablespoon? will check.
this makes 4 cups. use this same ratio when i make less coffee

thanks mr que but i don't think i can even learn

you need coffee
nothing makes me distrust people more than when they don't like coffee--i can even (barely) forgive someone for not liking Creedence, but coffee. . .??
― Mr. Que, Wednesday, 20 May 2009 15:20 (fifteen years ago) link
i don't really like creedence mr que i mean it's ok it's just not me
i like coffee if someone else makes it but that gets kind of $$$
― fantazy land (harbl), Wednesday, 20 May 2009 15:20 (fifteen years ago) link
okay i'm going to take a deep breath here and reevaluate
― Mr. Que, Wednesday, 20 May 2009 15:21 (fifteen years ago) link
one mistake was this week i got 8 o'clock garbage coffee and it's like ground up pennies or something, but it was bad before that
― fantazy land (harbl), Wednesday, 20 May 2009 15:25 (fifteen years ago) link
oh geez--do you mean chock full of nuts? my #1 piece of advice=buy the very best coffee you can afford. like buy the shit that smells like drugs. it should be a rich blackish color, not pale brown maxwell house shit
― Mr. Que, Wednesday, 20 May 2009 15:26 (fifteen years ago) link
That's some strong coffee!
Also, can even (barely) forgive someone for not liking Creedence, but coffee. . .?? = LOL

i like irish coffee
― velko, Wednesday, 20 May 2009 15:28 (fifteen years ago) link
it's strong, but not too strong. no one has ever complained (besides mother in law, who just jokes about it). it's not bitter, either.
― Mr. Que, Wednesday, 20 May 2009 15:29 (fifteen years ago) link
i like strong, black, not acidic, chocolaty-ish

i get compliments all the time, when people drink my coffee
― Mr. Que, Wednesday, 20 May 2009 15:30 (fifteen years ago) link
harbl i think you might like the whole foods pacific rim or pleasant morning buzz.
i am almost out of my giant stash of bladucci's beans but i guess that's ok bc i am moving to a good coffee city.
one thing: always buy beans and grind yr own. also i get compliments.also always buy beans and grind yr own. it's really gross, the reason (incidentally i heard this on terry gross' show!).

jam on, friend.

i make coffee strong, but half it with warm milk, then add nutmeg and honey in the evening.
i'll drink it black in the mornings tho.
― U2 raped goat (darraghmac), Wednesday, 20 May 2009 15:42 (fifteen years ago) link
wait what is the reason? am i brewing coffee made of ground up bugs or poop? xp
― fantazy land (harbl), Wednesday, 20 May 2009 15:43 (fifteen years ago) link
pleasant morning poop
― velko, Wednesday, 20 May 2009 15:43 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah, ground up cockroaches mixed in with yo beans :(
― ricardos montalban (tehresa), Wednesday, 20 May 2009 15:43 (fifteen years ago) link
i don't grind my beans--i buy preground or grind at the store. bug poop never hurt anyone
― Mr. Que, Wednesday, 20 May 2009 15:44 (fifteen years ago) link
i have been grinding my own lately but usually i don't. it makes a mess and is not very consistent grind. i have a cheap krups coffee grinder. i don't know where whole foods is but maybe i have to go there. why can't i just go to safeway?! geez what an ordeal
― fantazy land (harbl), Wednesday, 20 May 2009 15:44 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah i like to store grind, works ok imo
do not buy coffee at safeway
― Mr. Que, Wednesday, 20 May 2009 15:45 (fifteen years ago) link
i think eating a ground up cockroach is pretty safe though
― fantazy land (harbl), Wednesday, 20 May 2009 15:45 (fifteen years ago) link
que if you grind at the store from whole beans you should be ok. it's that the beans that are being ground and pre-packaged sit in the processing areas/warehouses and bugs get in (kind of unavoidable).
i have a mr. coffee grinder and it has worked like a dream for like 9 years!
― ricardos montalban (tehresa), Wednesday, 20 May 2009 15:46 (fifteen years ago) link
ive always hated coffee. i cant even stand the smell. it seems like it probably tastes like licking Arnold Schwarzenegger's armpit circa 1987.
still LOLs @ 'so you can look cool in front of your mates' though
― I wish I was the royal trux (sunny successor), Wednesday, 20 May 2009 15:47 (fifteen years ago) link
i have a feeling we eats lots of bugs anyway--it's unavoidable
― Mr. Que, Wednesday, 20 May 2009 15:47 (fifteen years ago) link
oh yeah i have never bought pre-ground especially because i french press and it's not coarse enough then
― fantazy land (harbl), Wednesday, 20 May 2009 15:47 (fifteen years ago) link
i knew i could count on IRE for culinary advice ;-)
so the reason they talked about it on this gross show was because the guest had a colleague who had developed a cockroach allergy (apparently all people will with enough exposure) and could no longer drink coffee unless it was from freshly ground beans (not preground) and so he made dude drive all over the place to find fresh ground coffee when they were out on trips doing research or whatever. maybe it was just a cruel joke from boss to employee?

I have trouble finding the right balance of coffee and sugar(I tend to make it too sweet). Out of convenience, I buy Starbucks' ground coffee. I know there are a lot of specialty coffee brands available online, but I have no idea what's good and what's pedestrian-to-terrible.

i can't stand coffee w/ sugar for some reason
― harbl, Tuesday, 16 June 2009 14:36 (fifteen years ago) link
Do you mean you like coffee black, or with a sugar-substitute (like Splenda)?
― Daniel, Esq., Tuesday, 16 June 2009 14:43 (fifteen years ago) link
coffee w/sugar is for children

Re pour-over "systems:" are these noticeably different from, say, a Chemex or one of these?

i think the difference comes from the filtering mechanism i.e. is it paper or cloth or metal
