Vic, what is the 'Coors' you refer to? Is it some kind of Kool-Aid or vitamin drink?

Vitamin for high school kids... it makes them invincible.

Thankfully we don't have to brew our own beer. I have a friend who roasts and who taught me about how to pour the water, all about the bloom etc, and it does make a better cup of coffee. Not enough for me to roast but I do grind my beans when camping (sadly not at home for some odd reason). I too prefer a dark roast.

I'm enjoying my morning ritual of checking out WTW and reading this thread about coffee... as I enjoy my morning Diet Coke.

 

Excuse me as I head for the bomb shelter.

Now I know regular Coke has different recipes for different countries, does that apply to the Diet version too?  And which is the best?

Here's a question for the coffee nerds. I get everything ready before I go to bed. Grind the coffee so all I have to do is boil the water. Is this okay or should I wait to grind until just before I make coffee?

Coffee taste comes from oils and volatile compounds. Some of that will off-gas from the coffee beans and even more will off gas from ground coffee. It is a surface area thing.

 

But it boils down to what your taste buds are accustomed to.

So it is all about the oils that boils?

 

I've never understood coffee culture. That stuff tastes like rotgut!

Yup, tastes like really really really good rotgut.

But, but, but... aren't you living in ground zero of the coffee culture?

 

 

ODE TO COFFEE

01/14/2016 -- sinahodge

 

O sweet coffee,

I adore thee,

Providing energy for tough days,

I hope the day never comes when we have to part ways.

 

Without you I’d be useless,

Lethargic and sedated,

I can’t imagine living life if I weren’t caffeinated.

 

I drink you while I’m driving,

I drink you while I’m dining.

Warmer than the Caribbean,

And the great Cape,

When I’m with you,

It feels like an escape.

 

Sweeter than the fresh wind coming from the west,

From all the drinks known to man,

I love you the best.

O sweet coffee,

I adore thee,

Providing energy for tough days.
