Coffee

For me starchy would first connote rice,  potatoes, or pasta. I think of bread as yeasty.

[private eyes]

yeah , either way, its not a taste found in good coffee. I don't think I'd list that if I was in charge of that roastery…

Stopped by Sump last week for the first time in a couple months. Stellar as usual, and I love the new wallpaper…

Back again…

First time trying a Cuban coffee. Sweet, but good.

The crema on that is a pretty big red flag for me without understanding what's the dealio with Cuban coffee….

Confusing as posted, Versailles as a registered trademark for a Cuban restaurant, as apposed to something French. wowser

Beans look like a strong robusta / very gassy.

What's the brewing method/info on Cuban???

[mclaincausey]

Pre-revolutionary, I presume.

The coffee farmed in Kauai doesn't impress. Oh well, can't be perfect right?

[biker226]

i cannot start a day without coffe ::)

[biker226]

is there a way to find out are you a coffee addict?

[501IH]

Very simply, I should think: try to go without and see how it goes…

[mclaincausey]

Bennington rules.

I took an unintended near 3 week detox as part of my food poisoning episode. Had killer headaches nearly the entire time caused by coffee detox. Am only back up to 2 cups a day so far. Man I've missed it in my routine and feel useless without it. Detox is not what it's cracked up to be.

Giving this a try. Not bad and the convenient too.

Hey, that's made here in Austin! It's not too bad.

I have a quick question for the more experienced coffee fans here.
My girlfriend recently got me a Chemex 8 cup and I love it.
Except for one thing: every now and then the filter seems to burst and it really pisses me off!
I've tried doubling, even tripling the filters used and it still manages to happen.
I'm following all the brew instructions from multiple sites, and I'm following everything to a T.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Maybe I'm wetting the filters too much?

[Snowy]

Which filter paper are you using? I've got the pre-folded squares and never had a problem.
