To freeze coffee or not? 7 myths about making coffee answered

Who to believe anymore??
Here it says if no unbleached paper filters, then use a gold-plated re-usable one. The paper filters in coffee makers remove the compound called CAFESTOL - which is responsible for raising your LDL (bad cholesterol).
Yet, in the latest book written by the "THE DOCTORS" from the populat TV show they say that those re-usable gold plated filters do NOT remove cafestol, instead they say to replace those "golden" ones with paper filters.

I just wanted to state a fact about coffee. I quit coffee a few yrs ago. I suffer headaches every day. I use to wake with one. So before the meds would kick in I was in pain. I read that one cup of coffee is great for a headache. I now am back having one cup in the morning and it really does work. Yay coffee!!

We like what we get used to .

Myth #7 - is false. Cuppers (coffee Tast-testers) will almost always brew with a french press.

I switched to beer and must say it was a great improvement in taste.

it's strange for years I drank alot of Timmies but only fom the paper cup, never liked in a cup, now I'd rather have it freshly ground. I think we all have our own "GOOD" coffee styles

I grind my Nicaraguan beans one at a time in a little stone grinder on the counter top. Using a measuring spoon is dangerous, as the grains in different grinds differ in size, so I always measure them, using a tiny scale I found in a physics lab garage sale. Water -- mine always comes from the same spring in the Rockies (I'm not telling you which one) and I use it at +2 degrees. Any warmer and the brew tastes skunky. I found a 1-cup French press in Paris (surprise!), and I make only one cup at a time. That way, the burst of aroma and flavour and colour is always perfect. And never drink coffee indoors. Fresh air intensifies the flavour, just as hot dogs roasted on a stick over an open fire in the forest taste like abrosial wieners.

So I'm guessing I should throw out my 4 year old container of instant coffee. lol

So i guess that the Tassimo & Keurig systems are no good!

I learned something about making my drip coffee in the am, that is the temp of the water. I will try that tomorrow am to see if I notice a difference. Thks for the tip..

My spelling could use some help, better dink (drink) more coffee, LOL

I seriously almost laughed out loud for real when I read the tip about gold plated filters! As if most people have that much money to spend on coffee makers! :D That said, I totally agree with the tip about storing coffee at room temperature. I always thought that putting coffee in the fridge seemed awfully weird!

I put a teaspoon of cinnamon for 6 cups of coffee in the coffee grounds. I use a drip coffee maker and Tim Horton's coffee.

My Dad loves roasting his own coffee and it's the way to go imo. You can order roasters ranging in size/price and order green beans for roasting online

The worst place to store coffee is Starbucks, which is also the worst place to buy it too.

Seriously though, you just don't beat a good old cup of straight ahead percolated coffee from freshly gound beans. One of life's truly simple pleasures.

its all good if you like it.....

no coffee shop hits 200 degrees ever (liability reasons im sure), 177 tops ,,,perhaps decaf from a pouch cause tea water is boiling off to the side ,????.

Best coffee ever is the kind cooked in a stainless coffee pot over a campfire, in early spring and late fall. The smell of coffee perking the old fashioned way and the aroma hanging in the steamy air.

I store my coffee beans in an airtight container at room temp for no more than a week and a half. I grind them fresh every morning and brew using cold water and regular white basket filters from the grocery store. I find that the only thing that really alters the taste of the coffee is the roast of the bean, not the filter brand, or even the water temp so much. But Im not a connossieur, thats just my opinion and everyone complements me on my coffee.

Oh, and I have noticed that bulk beans that are dry and don't look glossy and shiny like when opening a new bag of beans, generally taste like crap. But if you just want that warming coffee smell in ur kitchen, the bulk beans will do...just dont' drink the coffee unless you have a cold and can't really taste much. lol
