Lol, you left that part out.
I avoided sugary drinks like the plague (well, except that vodka is sugar).
Gotcha. I will occasionally throw some Bailey’s in my coffee (weekends only), but not to get a buzz.
I made a roaster out of a flour sifter and use it with a heat gun bought at Harbor Freight. About $30 total and the results are great. Eventually it’s an art to watch the color and listen to the pop. I only roast outside. Smell is one reason but the chaff can be messy. I did inside only once. I only make enough to last. 10 days.
I prefer running the beans through the alimentary canal of a small furry animal. We don’t have civets here but the squirrels seem cooperative enough. You just chase the little buggers up a tree and give ‘em a good squeeze. A medium grind seems to work best...
Adding 1/16th tsp of water to my 2/3rds cup of beans should eliminate the static electricity. It should allow me to put the grinds into the filter easier. Before, handling the grinds with the filter has been the messiest part of the operation.
We grind with an antique Crystal Arcade #3 wall mounted grinder. It tastes great - I wouldn’t change a thing. We’ve been using Pete’s Major Dickerson
Definitely. A touch of milk or cream helps neutralize the pH. Easier on the stomach and for me, a little tastier but taste is a matter of preference. I can enjoy black coffee for the hit of caffeine, but to enjoy the drink a little milk or cream. I’ll have to look for premium milk. Generally we don’t keep milk in the house because we only use it to add it to coffee and it goes to waste.
Thanks! Bkmk coffee roaster.
Drink it black and enjoy the bean.
Drip, perc’d, pour over, pressed, cowboy style... it don’t matter none. The key is drinking it black. Any other way in a strictly latin definition is effeminate.
Does it really???? I know it is owned and started by veterans...I didn’t know it was liberal...
—> Does it really????
1. Founder donated to Obama and McCain
2. Key employees donate to liberals
3. When Rittenhouse had to use the 2nd amendment right to save his life, the founder criticized him.
4. BRCC does donate to veterans, which is good.
DYODD
Yep.
When I see stuff like this, I’m ready to just go back to cowboy-style coffee over a campfire, which our carbon overlords would not appreciate at all.
I did not know that...Thanks.....
I did not know that...Thanks.....
I’ve been doing this for decades. It does reduce the static cling of the ground coffee
Anyone here make cowboy coffee? I’ve heard it’s good.
Send their research to Starbucks.
I have never bought anything at a Starbucks..................
