Ooooh! Care to share your recipe?
“Cowboy Coffee: Boil up some coffee in a pan with a couple of egg shells.”
That’s how my grandpa used to make it.
I’ve got to have low acid as well and found that only Arabica beans are perfect for my stomach. I buy the Marcella brand 100% Arabica at Menards of all places for about 4.00 a bag of ground. Eight O’Clock coffee is also Arabica beans.
Yeah...1 cup too many of that stuff and I’m on a bad ride.
It certainly wasn't the case when I was there. I'm a big time coffee fan and the best coffee I ever had was in Belgium. What we call "coffee" here in the U.S. they call "dirty brown water."
Here ya go: 4 cups dry milk, 1 cup non-dairy coffee creamer,
2 1/2 cups instant presweetened hot cocoa mix, 1/2 cup instant coffee crystals, 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, 1T ground cinnamon, 1t ground allspice. Mix all ingredients in large bowl till combined well. Use 1/3 cup per mug (add more or less according to your taste), add hot water, stir to combine. You can add other spices as you like. I usually add a little nutmeg. This makes a lot, you might want to make half this recipe to see if you like it. Enjoy.
the story of Nescafe
It’s promoted as ‘sustainable’ and ‘eco-conscious’, and it’s nostalgic. All things attractive to Euros.
I prefer Folger’s crystals myself with my 110 watt electric ‘kettle’
Thank you!!
I used to buy beans every trip to Hawaii and small bottles of instant Kona.
It’s all in the bean. The trick is getting it out.. Next best thing to a Mai Tai.
Wifey and clan were all born on Oahu. Her Mom was from Big Island. Kailua has boomed, hopefully they aren’t cutting all the bushes down.
Mine is the next step up, with the milk froth option.
Yes, it gets pricey, but DAMN, does it make good coffee.
You do know that they make coffee systems that are $6500 and UP?
I tried coffee out of one of the $5K machines and could not believe that it made grocery store pre-ground coffee taste THAT GOOD!
I’ll second the Aeropress. The main reason I started using it was to make small amounts of coffee with minimal waste and fuss to test my home roast batches. I found out you can make coffee an infinite number of ways with the Aeropress to suit any coffee and any roast.
The most time consuming thing with the Aeropress is boiling water. By the time the water comes to a boil, I have the coffee ground and ready to go. Cleanup takes a few seconds.
No reason to use instant, none. I don’t have to compromise with the Aeropress.
I use it at home and on the road.
If it is a coffee producing area you get the real stuff. So from Nicaragua to Peru you get brewed coffee from fresh beans. Usually made in a cone. And there is nothing better. In Mexico, Chile, Argentina and Uruguay it is a toss up. But they do have coffee bars. Well maybe not in Mexico but in Chile, Argentina and Uruguay they do.
Sadly in Chile they went from being just coffee bars to something else. Last time I was there I walked in and discovered I was the only fully dressed female in the place.
Walked right back out.
