11:35 a.m. - 2004-02-20 Ok. Now, a perfect cup of coffee comes from the following process. Beans should look dark and kind of oily. They should always be stored in azn airtight, lightproof container, and for pete's sake, DO NOT put the beans, ground or otherwise into the freezer or the refrigetator. WHY do people do this???OK. So, the beans should then be ground immediately before brewing. Finer grind yields darker coffee. Approximately 2 tablespoons should be used per cup, give or take.....giving is better than taking...darker is better than lighter, I think. So, brew it how you like but keep this in mind: drip is fine. French press is better in my opinion, but I was recently told that since coffee beans contain oil, they also contain fat, and since french presses don't filter, they allow that normally seperated oil to go into your cup and into your mouth, and into your fat cells, making them bigger. Isn't that annoying? Anyway, one final important tip. If you leave the coffee on the burner or pot for more than ten minutes after it was brewed, it will be 1. stale and 2. burnt. Don't bother drinking it. Well, that is all. My coffee that I am drinking right now, is perfect by the way. You should try Silk soy creamer....not the soy MILK...the soy CREAMER. It is delicious. |
