[ QUOTE ] Everyone recommending the french press is spot-on. You can get a ridiculous depth of flavor from them for minimal extra work. One type of coffee that I enjoy is a Dutch brand called Douwe Egberts. It's not that expensive--it is basically the Dutch equivalent to Maxwell House--but it blows away every type of coffee I've been able to find in the U.S. [/ QUOTE ] French press, sure, but roasting your own freaking beans? Completely unnecessary to make good coffee. [/ QUOTE ] I'd tread lightly if I were you, this might be Keyser Soze. |

That part wasn't in reference to you. Others have recommended that OP roast his own beans.

Re: Help Madtown make awesome coffee (aka coffee-making tips)
i think the water is supposed to be like 190 so as someone else said bring it to a slight boil and let it cool just a little bit before putting it in the french press.
definitely don't add cream or sugar! i love the oily film on the top of a fresh cup of coffee. |

Re: Help Madtown make awesome coffee (aka coffee-making tips)
I suggested roasting your own beans. OP asked for a "kick ass" coffee.
Roasting your own beans is beyond easy and inexpensive. My roaster is about the same size as a coffee maker and I can roast a weeks worth of coffee in about ten minutes. If your like me and think everything at starbucks tastes burnt you can roast the beans lighter. |
