Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 I always enjoyed the army coffee. That is until the Mess sergeant found the combat boot in the coffee urn and took it out. After that the coffee was kinda bland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easy Emily SASS #73673 Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 I like the smell of coffee but don't care much for the taste. My parents always had coffee made....always! I got it in my head that coffee was something grownups drank. I guess I've never really become a grownup huh? I didn't really start drinking coffee until I was 30.....oops I mean 29 just this past November Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Bob #35998 Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 For those of you who don't like coffee, I suggest you try some really good stuff. There are many hundreds of varieties and if you taste enough you'll probably find something you like. Kinda like wine. The ground, canned stuff from the grocery store like Maxwell House, Folgers, and the like are a far cry from good coffee. It's just like the difference between a Tokarev and a finely tuned 1911.

Easy Emily SASS #73673 Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 We went on a Tahitian cruise with the in laws a few years back. After that I quit drinking coffee for a couple of years. The coffee was so strong and bitter not even kalua or baily's helped. Some people like it that way but it was not to my taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The coffee was so strong and bitter not even kalua or baily's helped. Some people like it that way but it was not to my taste. Not a fan of Greek or Turkish coffee, I take it. A few years ago at a reenactment one young man REALLY needed some coffee. I had the fire going so I broke out my briki (10 oz size), tossed in some coffee and a little sugar, added the water and set it in the fire. Did the traditional 3 boils on it, let it settle for a minute and then poured for him. His eyes went wide and lit up, he coughed a bit, and commented on how strong it was. I took a little sip, wasn't strong at all. I think he was expecting Starbucks or Micky De coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uno Mas SASS #80082 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Can you recommend a "good" coffee? Coffee's more personal than even six-guns, but here's a good start: Dunkin Donuts Rich, flavorful, but not acidic, nor bitter. Not a big fan of Star$ucks, but to each his own.

Subdeacon Joe Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Can you recommend a "good" coffee? Go to a local coffee house, preferably not a Starbucks, and let them know you don't care much for coffee but want to learn. See if they will give you tasting cups. Try for Arabica rather than Robusta, they tend to be less acidic but richer (Wal-Mart used to have a house brand 100% Arabica that was a fantastic buy, but that has been discontinued). Go for a light or medium roast, they won't be as bitter. Try them first just plain, no sugar or cream. A good coffee will stand on its own, sugar and/or milk should enhance it. Here is a page to start you off: http://www.coffeeam.com/coroch.html If you can, get a french press for brewing. Simple, easy to use, easy to clean. All you need is the hot water, coffee, and the press. No electrical stuff to go bad on you. The draw back is that you can't just put the stuff in, start it, and walk away. Start heating the water, then grind the beans (if you go that route rather than pre-ground - although most coffee shops will sell you whole bean and then grind it for you - but grinders are not that expensive), add the coffee and water, stir, wait about 4 minutes, press, and serve. They are great for around the camp fire too. Doesn't take long to make up a batch and you don't have a big pot on the fire going stale and bitter. So, play with it. Have fun.
