Coffee
-
I don't usually work from home, but today is one of those times when I decided to. Thus I was privileged to see how my wife makes coffee. I should mention that she is not really a morning person. Watching her "process" now explains several things, one, why she doesn't always like the coffee she gets, two, why we can go through so much. Apparently her technique is to use about 2 coffee cups worth of water. Then stumble over to where the grounds are kept and dump, not spoon, in coffee till the filter is almost completely full. It seems to me this is not the best way to make coffee, but what do I know, I'm just a man.

Good God man, do you realize the consequences for dissecting your significant others process of coffee making? You are an inch from homeless...

Sounds similar to mine, but I'm making strong espresso.
Panic, Chaos, Destruction. My work here is done.

Yeah that did occur to me right after I hit submit. But what the hell, you gotta live dangerously from time to time.

I just smelled what was in the coffee pot. I'm pretty sure this is *way* beyond expresso. I think this might be a completely new substance.

Sound's like the correct Water:Grounds ratio to me. But then, I'm a Tea Or Espresso person, no "normal" coffee for me.

If I did not have a grind and brew I would create some really nasty coffee. Before the first cup I am basically on auto pilot in a state that I would call just above a sleep walk. Anyways the grind and brew I use 1 scoop of beans for 2 x 32 ounces (plastic 32 oz cup) of water. Oh, forgot to say the SO makes it much simpler by cleaning all the parts for me and leaving them out on the counter in front of the coffee maker. She knows that without that I am bound to miss adding the filter causing a really big mess on the counter top...

| FoldWithUs! | sighist | µLaunch - program launcher for server core and hyper-v serverI have no idea. Actually, yeah it was this time, but I don't know if that's "normal" or not. I've given up trying to help with this one. I've bought all sorts of different coffee here in NYC, and none of it meets her standards. Granted when we do go to Poland, they do have good coffee there, but I find it somewhat hard to understand how *nothing* in the US is up to snuff. Oh well, chalk it up to one of life's little mysteries :)

Useualy depends on preference of "strength". Most of my friends and I agree in the 3-4 spoons for 10 serving cups worth. personal preference is 4-5 so sounds close to what your wife makes. I find the more I'm designing, the stronger the coffee gets. The more I'm coding I revert to the 3-4 spoons method ( along with a little hot chocolate for taste). as always personal taste, I know a girl who loves expresso strong so will dump alot in. ;d

That explains it all. American coffee is /generally/ very week; where else can you get a de-caf espresso. How is she making the coffee? Here maybe the soltion, buy her a good espresso machine for Christmas and find a roaster in NYC who will supply a very strong espresso grind for her. You will gain 837,493[1] attaboys for it. [1] 1,000,000,000 attaboys can be exchanged with the wife for 'that'[2]. [2] No, the other thing that she did before you married her.
