JoeyH 0 #108 November 15, 2013 I guess if you can get a good roaster the coffee from Hawaii would be amazing. but what everybody sells as "kona coffee" here is over roasted and stale. I am a professional Specialty coffee Barista. I know good coffee You dont want to use soft water. Try to get some RO water for brewing and mix in about 1/8 tap water back in. That should improve your coffee a bunch. the salt in soft water takes out a lot of the bad flavors and leaves in a lot of the good flavors so you get a badly extracted cup of coffee. you want mostly ro water with about 125 PPM added minerals. I dont suspect you have a TDS or PPM monitor so 7/8 RO and 1/8 tap water should be okay for your purposes Carpe Diem, even if it kills me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skybill 18 #112 November 16, 2013 Hi-5, Good coffee is what ya' like. I grew up in SE Louisiana so the local stuff is always "Strong!!" The chicory thing is also local and from New Orleans, Community coffee has a "New Orleans Blend of Coffee and Chicory" that's my favorite. Now for Espresso or Capuccino look out!! Twas a place in Costa mesa Ca., don't thnk it's still there, Diedriches Coffee!! They had a great selection!! Now for a Capuccino, fix up your Krupps machine and get it going. Next get a 12oz. Beer mug and put in a jigger of Irish Cream, Coffee Liquor, Dark rum and some Amaretto or the like. When the steam comes up, froth up the liquor and then pour the whole caraffe of espresso over that. You can add a bit of whipped cream and a dash of cinnamon if you want. I call it a "Cutaway!!" Enjoy!!SCR-2034, SCS-680 III%, Deli-out Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
promise5 17 #113 November 16, 2013 Community coffee. Is that only sold in Louisiana? I had a friend send me some coffee from there that could only be bought there. It was soooooo good! I lost contact with him and I don't remember the name if the coffee he sent me. It actually beat tundra mudd. No matter how slowly you say oranges it never sounds like gullible. Believe me I tried.

JoeyH 0 #114 November 16, 2013 If it was good at all, it would not be community coffee. And no that is sold just about anywhere. It's disgusting. Worse than foldgers in MHOCarpe Diem, even if it kills me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Karen, Since you like your coffee/milk mix 1/2-1/2, next time you get to New Orleans, stop by the Cafe' Du Monde on Decatur St. down by Jackson Square. Their Cafe' Au Lait (Cafe-O-Lay) is the traditional 1/2 coffee and 1/2 hot milk poured together. 'Gotta' get some Beignets too! (Ben-Yea's) (little square fritter like donuts with powdered sugar).

davjohns 1 #123 November 18, 2013 I was introduced to that place years ago. One of the very best ways to wake up in the morning. What's the name of the place where all the staff are gay guys in drag? That place had great breakfast.I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
