Coffee of choice?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
LoL If you only knew how many stupid videos I've watched on the net. lol I have a library full of useless videos in my head.

I, honestly, could put at least one video related to any given topic on this forum. I try
not to do it too much though. lol This one was too good to resist.

this is practically how i feel about decaf haha. funny quick story,..... i worked at a breakfast buffet at an upscale hotel in orlando. we only brewed regular coffee for the first pot, and after that all pots were brewed decaf. out of the thousands of people that drank that coffee, only about 2 actually caught on that it was decaf.
 
i just read something that said that whole beans lose flavor a week after they are roasted, hours after ground, and minutes after brewed!!!!!
 
I gave my coffee supplier the specs for roast and bean combination that I was looking for here to make my custom coffee, I use only organic fair trade beans. So, I would have to say my fav blend or supply for coffee is my own place.

I do a ratio of 3 oz of grind to 80 oz yield product, and I make sure the grind on the coffee is rough so that the bad oils of the bean can not leech out. I also upped the temp on my machine to smoking hot and sped up the brew time. I offer french roast dark and light roast for choices.

edit:just read the post above me I REFUSE TO SERVE DECAF, they can suck it up and drink a real cup o joe or blow away!!!!!!

what most people don't realize is that it is the chemicals and preservatives that are used on their beans at point of origion and process that are the real reason why coffee is bad for them. Some producers actually use formeldahyde as a preservative YIKES!

as for the formeldahyde, i can attest that it certainly has been used in the process of making the beans decaf......'


I'm not sure i completely understood what you meant when you said 3 oz grind for 80 oz of yield: did you mean you only use 3 oz of ground coffee for 80 oz of liquid coffe? :WHOA: i'm sure you didnt mean that, but if you did i want some!
 
btw, if anyone knows of an mfk type site for coffee drinkers, shoot me a link ;)
 
i hate hot drinks. my fav coffee ever was Main St. Cafe Iced Mocha Latte, but I think they defuncted...sometimes I'll get SB caramel frappuccino or vanilla bean w/ a shot of espresso

fav caffeine drink used to be Josta and Jolt Cola and then Surge, but I guess it's dew throwback now

fav energy drinks are NOS grape and fruit punch and Rock Star Punched fruit punch

well any coffee can be added to ice :) you can get any coffee you like black and easily add it to ice and voila!

i don't really think the flavors open up well when its served and drank cold. even though i live in florida and i hate the summer and the heat, i will chug hot coffee cuz i love the taste
