The Bitter Bean

[Saint_Ann]

I've been brewing Dunkin Donuts medium roast for awhile now but I'm not necessarily brand loyal. Is there something better bitter?

Its so hard to write a song with bitter fingers.
...
Bitter fingers never swung from swinging stars.

Did you wake up with a song in your heart?

What kind of coffee do you like?

And what brewing system do you use?

That's an unusual euphemism. It was good Norwegian Wood. :nods:

I like a light medium roasted Colombian.

Rich bodied and you don't have to add 10 LBS of sugar to make it taste good...

Some of the best coffee I ever drank was made with a drip pack of Maxwell House tossed into an boiling enameled coffee pot and set aside to steep for fifteen minutes.

Smooth tasting but loaded with caffeine! Drink a large cup or two of that and try holding a fishing pole or rifle still!

Bill makes a good point. What equipment is this?

If regular filter? then go drink whatever in there, that's shit coffee no matter what you put in there. (sorry )

Who wants half a liter of acidic coffee sitting in their stomach half a day?

I'm an old fashioned pump espresso buff. I use an an Italian roasted bean round for espresso. One sip, three sips, done.

At the GrossOut (Grocery Outlet discount market aka Dented Cans) down in the rural county seat, I grab whatever is cheap and espresso-ground. Back home, I load the metal cup in my little Krups machine, carefully pour in a beaker of cold water, and slide a handmade mug under the spout. Sometimes I add cocoa and sweetener for mocha. Sometimes it's splashed with vibrant spirits.

The bean is just the base. A brew is built from it. Onwards!
