American Coffee
-
I know that programming questions are not to be published in the Lounge and this could qualify, but still... I tried the american coffee, and... I liked it. Even my girlfriend, who doesn't like (italian) coffee at all, liked it. So the question is: how do I brew it at home? In Italy we have mailny espresso machines and moka cafetieres, and I know nothing else. Thanks for your suggestions :)

I had the Chance to try it one time at a phoenix horse range... and I enjoyed it really after two hours horse ride to the breakfast :laugh:
Not to sound like a grandpa, but sometimes the best way are the slow and old ways though. Maybe, just maybe people can learn stuff in 80s of life. Maybe.

Thanks a lot. Now the quest would be finding one in Italy (before giving up and ordering from Amzon).

what are you Russian? My Russian friends call American Coffee: Coffee Juice Literally the Juice taken when you squeeze a little bit of real coffee into a cup of hot water. On the other hand, Russian Coffee, to me, was thicker than Molasses or Black Tar. And it explained all of the Potholes in russian roads. They were drinking the blacktop...

A couple of things. You can buy Instant Coffee, like Nescafe, and just add hot water. I know a lot of people in Europe who do this, and I do this since I am the only coffee drinker in the house, and only drink 1-2 cups a day. Second, in the states, we can buy bags of beans, and grind them fresh at the grocery store. This is my favorite. But I learned the MAGIC of the grind (Coarse to Extra Fine). The Coarser the grind, the LESS Bitterness you get (Opposite of Starbucks). I like a coarse grind! The Finer the grind, the MORE Bitterness you get (Starbucks), and the darker the coffee. Enjoy!

Italian Nescafè is different from the one sold elsewhere (tried many times) and it is pure fecal matter.

That I already knew, it is the same for Italian coffee and Espresso.

While this works, Robert is your Mother's Brother sounds better.
