Floor blend special. :)
“Time is Short, Salvation is for Today”
Yes!
Are you ready to receive the power?
The results of this vary wildly.
The end results are sometimes described as ‘full body demonic possession or zombification’.
But here is how I brewed the coffee when I was allowed to do so:
In 12 cup drip percolator pot, fill to 6 cup mark with water.
In filter, put 6 heaping scoops of coffee.
Medium roast works best, just make sure it’s a robust blend.
Found a maxwellhouse ‘medium roast’ that was rather anemic.
Put pinch of salt in filter, about as much as it would take to cover the surface of a dime with one even layer.
This keeps the coffee from tasting burned too quickly, it doesn’t age well brewed this way.
Brew, recirculate if need be, usually not.
Add sugar and dairy creamer.
Creamora and coffeemate are not recommended unless you like the heart racing that Ranger Pudding gives.
That, and the nondairy creamer will give you both a headache and a buzz with the coffee.
I usually put about 8 spoons of sugar in this stuff, it ends up being like Russian Kava, thick and sweet with that bitter overtone to it.
Oh, and I am NOT responsible for seeming demonic possession of the coffeepot, or the coffeepot ending up acting as if it has been damaged.
Be sure NOT to add creamora or coffeemate to the brew, unless you LIKE ranger pudding style heart racing.
When I brew that stuff for myself, I recirculate the stuff to brew a second time, but that’s me for my own personal enjoyment, and it may wreck the coffeepot.
Don’t forget the salt, it’s important to the finished brew.
A fellow connoisseur like myself. ;-)
I am banned from making the coffee, I do not know why.
Though Humble has used it to great effect against the local deer population in his area.
The results of that were rather hideous.
But you have given me an idea!
Perhaps exploding too many coffee pots?
Maybe.
I think the uncontrollable babbling may have been a reason as well.
I am immune to the stuff myself, so I don’t get that benefit.
I’m thinking on putting this under the ‘testimonials’ section of the dreaded coffee file.
One of life’s big disappointments is looking in the cupboard on Monday morning only to find the coffee can empty.
I’ve been happy with the 12 cup Black and Decker—it doesn’t overheat the water, so the coffee comes out better. If you like it scalding hot, though, you might not like it.
Some folks just don’t appreciate recreational pyrotechnics...’speciaally first thing in the morning.
Of course we do...as long as it is AFTER the brew is complete...then we have the potential for full enjoyment!
;>D
Shuffling in with that “walking dead” motion, reaching for the coffee can, and nothing is there.
Oh, and the grunt while reaching through empty space repeatedly.
Not that I’ve done that myself.
Either that or they don’t appreciate feeling like some horrible force is compelling them?
Rechecking in disbelief, repeatedly.
I do have a backup stash, two scoops secreted in the freezer, in case Wife makes the last batch without notifying me.
I sleep better for it.
After the last coffee pot barfed and rumbled itself to death my missus banned me from making the coffee.
She pointed at it and asked me if I had anything at all to do with “THAT”.
It did look rather funny, but she wasn’t amused.
Should of mumbled something about the defective circuitry in that brand of makers.
Oh well, gotta get ready for work.
“But since so many do not roast their own beans anymore but the buy beans roasted months ago, they don’t know the difference. One has to taste the good and bad side by side in one sitting to really taste the difference.”
I have been a coffee drinker for almost 60 years (folgers) and I have tasted hundreds of other coffees that were fresh ground. Some of them were ok, most tasted like burned licorice or worse. If you put anything in your coffee, you don’t like coffee, you like what you put in it.
