I think this guy is just messing with everyone.

Why the fuck would you want to drink dust or mold spores unnecessarily?

You should never leave grounds out in the open for 18 days.

That's a great way to have awful, stale coffee.

Hell, you shouldn't have whole beans out in the open for 18 days.

You shouldn't even have them in an airtight container in the sunlight for 18 days.

And roasting them after they are ground will only overroast or even burn the outermost portions of the beans.

And why would you season a filter with beans you don't want to drink? Wouldn't that leave residue that will leech into the coffee you make with the "good stuff?"

And if you want to make the best coffee, you don't use a paper filter like that, it filters out a lot of the delicious tasting and smelling oils and other elements. You should use a French press or a vacuum press.

Seriously, don't follow this video unless you like shitty coffee that takes more than two weeks to make.

Yeah, but most people don't even get the obvious stuff right.

Like my dad, he still stores his beans in translucent glass jars right on the counter, in full view of sunlight from the window.

And he uses a horrible drip machine when I gave him a good French Press to use.

Wow... filters. I'm not a coffee drinker (and may be chased out of the country for that) but I don't think I've seen a coffee filter since the '80s.

Dear Everyone:

STOP PUTTING SHIT IN COFFEE. IT IS DELICIOUS AS IS.

willrogers said @ 8:09am GMT on 31st Jan
Generally, people put stuff in coffee either when they aren't big fans of the taste itself and are trying to cover it up and potentially just doing it for the caffeine OR they are trying to cover up the taste of shitty coffee.

Think about how people during Prohibition used to prefer alcoholic drinks made with many different mixers and flavorings to cover up the shitty alcohol they got or the awful chemicals (like formaldehyde) that were added in to "cut" the booze.

Same idea.

I tell you what, if I could add everything but the coffee, I'd be happy.

Or if I could make it tasteless, yet keep that heavenly aroma...

I disagree. I think adding fecal matter to coffee gives it an understated yet provocative nutty flavor.

I like just a little sugar. Just enough to turn down the bitter a little. I absolutely love coffee and everything about it. love it. love it with a little sugar even more.

Weirdest thing I have ever seen anyone do to coffee is in Thailand it is common to add a couple tabs of butter in place of cream. It's a little icky if you ask me, but I can see how folks could grow accustomed to it.

I understand they add some rock salt as well as the yak butter. They say it's exactly what a tired body wants when it's freezing up on the mountain. That might be true in the cold, but my experiment of adding salt alone to English black tea, in summer, indicates that that combination is an emetic to rival ipecac. It's discouraged me from repeating the test with butter added, but I'll probably try that one day while it's still winter.
However, lately I've been fine with adding a little grey sea salt in my (sweetened) hot chocolate/cocoa. This is a result of me discovering dark chocolate topped with salt crystals from Trader Joe's.

Sugar is a flavour enhancer, don't let anyone tell you otherwise with their macho "AS GOD INTENDED" black sugarless coffee.

When you chew gum and it loses all of its flavour, it's not the flavour molecules that are gone. Put a bit of sugar in your mouth and it should come right back.

Banana + coffee tastes roughly like chocolate, oddly. I don't know that I'd put banana in my coffee, but I've had the two for breakfast.

I accidentally left the dregs of a strawberry banana smoothie in my travel mug over the weekend a few weeks back. No matter what I do to it cleaning wise, I could not get the smell/flavor of fermented strawberries out of the plastic lid. But when I put coffee in it....omg. Strawberry coffee ROX.

cb361 said @ 1:52pm GMT on 31st Jan
I once made strawberry jam (jelly) and used a big glass coffee jar that I had thoroughly scrubbed clean three times. Coffee aroma is clearly made of stronger stuff than that though, and omg. Coffee scented strawberry jam SUX.

I think coffee is alot like chocolate. take dark chocolate: it's good because it's strong, but take several different dark chocolates side by side and it's difficult to pick out the differences between them. now put different milk chocolates side by side and it's much easier to pick out those differences, whether or not you prefer the dark. the additional milk solids tone it down enough for the various flavor notes of each to stand out more prominently.

coffee is kind of the same in this respect. a little bit of cream will soften the deafening cacophony of flavor into a subtler symphony of flavor, and occasionally I like to do that with a coffee that I'm really enjoying.

that said, typically I take mine black. it's like heavy metal.

sacrelicious said @ 6:16pm GMT on 31st Jan
and I never add sugar. it takes the pleasant bitterness of coffee and turns it into an unpleasant bitterness.

this guys blog strikes me as something someone desperate to get out into the blogosphere would come up with.

it's not a bad thing to try flavouring coffees with different ingredients, but common sense will tell you some of them are just stupid. point in fact: salmon cream cheese, bleu cheese dip.

if he took it seriously and did something new and interesting with coffee instead of just blending shit up in a magic bullet and then microwaving the results, i might be able to upmod.

I've been out in the blogosphere for quite some time, sonny.

Some of history's best inventions came from ignoring common sense.

If you have suggestions for "something new and interesting", though, do tell.

Eggs in coffee is not that unusual. In fact there is an Austrian specialty called "Kaisermelange" (might be called "Cesar's blend" in english) with yolk, and also with honey and cognac.

I ran out of milk and cream over the weekend and didn't want to deal with post-snow storm crappy roads. So I cracked open a can of coconut milk that was for curry I was going to make next week and used that.

It was merely good in coffee, but it was bizarrely and inexplicable awesome in a cup of earl grey.

Normally I'm a pot of tea a day sort of guy, but I went through 6 pots in two days...

sacrelicious said @ 1:13am GMT on 2nd Feb
milk seems to lend a certain nice fruitiness to tea, so I'd imagine coconut milk would be doubly so.
