Conspiracy Laid to Rest
|
|
I did something today.
I made coffee from previously-used grounds.
Experts say this would yield sour, bitter, terrible coffee.
In fact it was fine. It was weak, but not bad.
The idea came to me from having used a French press for my coffee for a long time. Often I leave the grounds swimming in water for up to 15 minutes before I depress the plunger.
Drip-coffee is based on the premise that coffee should have as little contact with water as possible.
Many flavors are filtered out of the coffee using the drip method, some bad and some good.
I think drip coffee may be better for lighter roasts, but I prefer to give the gruonds a good soaking when it's a dark roast.
