A friend brought over a 2# bag of coffee that she acquired somewhere unknown to me. I expressed my joy at the gift and she said "It's not the good stuff."

Honestly it tastes like I emptied the pencil sharpener into the filter. And possibly added some crickets.

This is our favorite coffee shop way down south: 
These guys are very serious about their (your) coffee. The guy there is studying a graph with time/temp/humidity lines. Their coffee is sublime. They also have a bakery on site that makes fantastic everything, but especially a barely sweet cinnamon roll, and super flaky pastries.

So the coffee taste is still there or no? I'm a blacker the better coffee drinker but then again I can drink a cup and take a nap without an issue.{#Meditate}I think I'll do that right now. {#Meditate}

So what's the difference?  Is it flavor?  Texture?

I like olive oil, but trying to figure out the impact.  Thx.

Coffee and people can be all part of the same pleasurable experience.

Imagine you are camped in the middle of drop dead gorgeous nowhere.   Wake up early.   Make some medium-roast Colombian coffee.  Heat the milk.   Hike a few metres to a good look out.   Sit down, relax.

And then 'wake and bake' with a really good friend.   BC's finest bud is the other ingredient.

When we're in two-person mode, we'll run the drip maker and usually have leftover coffee because we always think we have time but we don't. So the next day, that goes over ice while I think about making today's pot and the cycle continues. But I really do look forward to the day-old as much as the fresh, though I haven't done a side-by-side.

Yep. I saw one guy who re-floods the grounds to get more, but he also starts with Folgers, so his credibility is suspect. 
The grounds all end up in the Lomi, so they meet a reasonable fate. I haven't figured the cup:grounds equation yet to see if it's a waste of coffee somehow. I think I like it more that I just don't care.

Trying a batch of cold brew (because it's hot as heck here). Most things say to brew at room temp, some say fridge. Anyone have any tips?



It's been a while but I do mine in the fridge. 

I built a cold drip system by hooking irrigation pipe with a micro-emitter drip to the spigot on an ice tea carafe. Put coffee in the aeropress over a carafe and the emitter just above the coffee. I used water with lots of ice for the drip on advice of my barista, although he doesn't use ice for his commercial drip.

It was better than cold-brew but not enough better to justify the trouble. Still a fun project.

I make my cold brew concentrate this way. Then when I want a cup of hot coffee, I put this in a cup and add hot water. Want cold coffee? Add concentrate and some water and some ice.
Easy peasy and the Better Half™ loves the flavor compared to regular brewed. Big difference.

Exactly - typically 24 hours steeping at room temperature with the grounds, then drain it into the carafe and put it in the fridge.  I'm a weird coffee drinker - it's always cold brew, and it's always served cold with milk, no sweetener.  Same thing for my tea, except that's hot with milk, no sweetener.
