Coffee Drinkers? (or other hot beverages)

[n_maher]

7 cups of water to 1 cup of grounds, medium grind (like french press grind)

mix thoroughly, then let it sit 12-36 hours

strain through a coffee filter (I use the gold filter from my zojirushi thermal carafe brewer, but any filter should work)

refrigerate

Dan,

Do you dilute the resulting "brew" anymore or just drink it straight up? I've got my first batch brewing now for tomorrow and I'm cautiously optimistic that it'll turn out ok.

I like it best with sweetened condensed milk. The websites all recommend diluting it but I like it strong.

In other words, imbibo caveo!

Drinker beware.

Cracked open the bag of Ethiopian Washed Sidamo, $%@# this is good

I've been enjoying cold brewed coffee for the last 3 mornings. What I need to do now is try it with better coffee...

[deepak]

Getting a lb of the Indian Arabide. Suggestions for another?

the peaberry, the sidamo, the mandehling are all great

[wink]

I used to use 2 litres of water to 250grams of coffee.

Let stand for 24 hours, and then strain.

Wonderful and smooth.

[n_maher]

Yes, cold-brewed coffee rocks.

I just ordered a pound of the peaberry and sidamo, looking forward to some non-starbucks beans.

I got my shipment from Bisbee today, oh mama that's some good smelling coffee. Looking forward to the first cold-brewed batch this weekend.

Musasa Rwanda from Thanksgiving Coffee Co. Perhaps if enough people start enjoying Rwandan coffee the people will choose commerce over genocide.

Great flavors with subtle notes like true Kona coffee.

Yup love it, I can smell it a few feet from my mail box. The Sidamo and Peaberry are really delicious hot as well. I went with a lb of the Peaberry. Finished off the last of my Sidamo today.

Can't wait to try it, I'm a fan of Indian coffees. Next time I am in India I will bring back some beans from my uncle's estate in Yercaud.

Mein vorkplace has free coffee in the form of keurig cups. Never tried them before, but they're pretty alright, considering the convenience.

Initial 1 cup opinion of nuggets - quite good, but Arabide was more complex.

Nuggets reminds me more of Sidamo

Opinion subject to change, I have another cup waiting in the thermos

You guys gotta try home roasting

Since starting my own law firm, I've started to drink coffee again, particularly one large ice coffee from Starbucks. I don't think it's such a good thing because I feel like I am becoming dependent on the caffeine again or put another way -- addicted.

Next to heroin, not sure there is a better substance tone addicted to.
