Coffee Filter Conspiracy ?

[10-Ring]

It's worth the pain to me, but then again, I'm a wee bit obsessed. I keep the beans in the dark until time to grind, double filter the water, carefully measure an ounce of coffee (by weight) for every 16 oz water, let the water heat in the electric kettle to 195 degrees, and never ever let it steep over 4.5 minutes. How's that for obsessed?

That's a cup of coffee I would like to try!

Has anybody tried the reusable container for a keurig. Wife got one and I'm too cheap to use the fancy stuff.

I thought I might try my coffee in one of the reusable ones

Coffee is vile

Agreed, but it does smell good though.

[Oh Shoot]

The lower basket is what we have in our Cuisinart , but the paper filters you put in it , #2 or #4 ; I don't recall , are shorter than they used to be..

Point is, why use the paper filters if you have the permanent mesh one already?

Even with the mesh , when you dump the remains in the trash you have to rinse the mesh in the sink. I have cleaned my kitchen drain a few times from the grinds clogging the pipe.

Ah, point taken...

You can't possibly have had good coffee then. Coffee, like every other beverage runs the gambit even when fresh and roasted by someone experienced.

That's how I roll!

Amen. The press is definitely the way to roll when it comes to coffee.

Sounds about right to me.

I have. Gourmet to home brew. It's the greatest disappointment in the beverage world. It smells divine, and then, sip, it's bitter cråp. Try to fix it with creme or sugar just makes it worse. I've tried it several times, I always pour it in the trash and get a YooHoo.

I have to agree with Caster and Mike on this one. The worst drink in the beverage world is that malt stuff down in South America or something that tastes like cardboard, VitaMalt maybe? Can't remember. Edited May 24, 2012 by gjohnsoniv

Diet Coke please!

The wife bought a giant pack of filters at Sam's for me. Has like 1500 in the pack. The are almost too large. I think they may be for a Bunn.

[Guest 6.8 AR]

Everything they have has the same weird aftertaste, I usually stop by the mom & pop coffee shops. It all costs you more than dinner does, so they should start including some tylenol with your drink to help ease the pain.

That's true. But the wife has her say. She's addicted. I think there are two Starbuck's at St. Thomas. I'd lose the battle.

I buy guns. She buys Starbuck's.

I have my own conspiracy theory that those trackgeorge.com bills are actually an IRS scheme to be able to follow every single paper money bill in America and make it impossible for anyone to cheat on their taxes.

How does this relate to coffee?

point well taken, they don't use water that's not from a stream either.

The mesh filters also don't filter out the oils and other goodies that make the coffee taste better.

At least you can use them for cleaning mirrors/windows. They leave almost no lint.
