@kellyjay saidAh, coffee ... this is both an art and a science. My wife says I make the best cup of coffee in the world. I like the smell but do not drink it myself (like perfume: it smells good, but why would it taste anything like it smells?).
I just started drinking coffee made with the pour-over method, very happy with it. French presses are very good, but a mess afterward. Then there are the different coffees out there too. My all-time favorite a friend brought back for me when he went back home to Vietnam for a vacation. I've looked for something like that and have not been successful. Do any of you put in time and effort for a good cup and if so what do you do?
1. Freeze the beans; keeps them fresh. Use two kinds of beans: caff and de-caff. Caff for the kick, de-caff for more aroma (it's roasted longer); proportion depending on how much kick is desired.
2. Grind only enough beans for the amount of coffee you will drink immediately.
3. Use filtered water (gets the lime out).
4. Heat milk to about 60 degrees Celcius. Raw farm milk tastes better, but will not foam. If your Missus likes foamed milk, use cooked milk.
5. Heat the water and let it just back off the boil before introducing it to the ground coffee.
6. Put the ground coffee into the pot (or paper filter for pour-thru), add a dash of spice mix (cardamom, cinnamon, clove); pour in the hot water and let it steep for several minutes while you warm the cup and foam the milk.
7. Serve 50/50 milk/coffee.
8. Add Baileys or rum if it's a cold winter afternoon. Serve with a croissant if breakfast.
Don't think of it as effort; it's love. She'll do anything you ask for the next 6 hours.
Enjoy.
@the-gravedigger saidWhat a waste. You like sex that way, too?? See above. Good coffee is like good sex.
I love real coffee but this is overridden by my laziness so its instant for me.
I’m very happy with Aldi’s great tasting, great value instant which I could drink all day. I’ve even converted a Nescafe drinking mate to it 😮 though, years back as a student my little luxury was an occasional coffee cream served in a pub, in a large wine glass. I loved that sensation of sipping the hot sweet coffee through a layer of cold cream. It looked like a glass of Guinness.

@drewnogal saidNow we're talking. Coffee should be served black or with whiskey or Bailey's.

In Lidl there's a Colombian coffee, strength 4... Try it. Black bag... So good.
@a-unique-nickname saidMy women are like my coffee. Cold and bitter.
He hasn't had sex since 1992.
