 Image via Wikipedia Drip coffee makers in the average office are machines of the devil. Even if they started out shiny, fresh, new and innocent, the evil ways of the office user – never cleaning any of the parts, refusing to wash out the carafe or turn off the heating pad so that thick nasty brown [...]  Image via Wikipedia But it wasn’t us. Sorry. Not going to take that one for the team. But the Sacramento Bee did – sort of. I wish they had done a double-blind test against regular brewed Starbucks, but alas no. The bottom line was that they felt it was better than most instant but not very good [...]  Image via Wikipedia First off, we are not going to pretend that we can tell you what the best cup for drinking coffee is. Only you can do that. But we are going to run down some of the alternatives and discuss them and maybe introduce you to a few alternatives. The 16oz paper cup – made [...]  Image via Wikipedia I’d guess that most people if asked would say that coffee was probably not so great for their liver, maybe not terrible or anything, but not great. WRONG! Turns out, according to the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, that coffee is extremely protective of your liver. Of course, if, like me, [...]  Image by churl via Flickr Many coffee aficionados and cafe hounds will tell you that the best way to make a plain cup of coffee – rather than an espresso-based coffee drink – is to use a French Press. While I disagree and feel that there are at least three ways to make a better cup [...]  Image via Wikipedia It’s all over the news (well the coffee news) that Starbucks is getting set to launch instant coffee on March 3rd. The new coffee, called Via for no reason that can possibly make sense, is, however, not exactly the same thing as America’s Folgers or Europe’s Nescafe. Starbucks claims that it has spent [...]  Image via Wikipedia Well, some people are referring to the battle starting up between Starbucks – with its new ‘pairings’ of a latte or tall coffee plus some form of pastry item (surely not one that is selling poorly that it is trying to offload?) for $3.95 – and Caribou Coffee with a temporary price cut [...] Image via Wikipedia After many years of coffee drinking, coffee brewing and now, coffee roasting and coffee geekery, I have come up with one simple rule for making better coffee. This rule is based on the observation that people enjoy a single really good, rich, tasty cup of coffee far more than two cups of any [...]  Image via Wikipedia The news is a-buzz. Consumer Reports has picked the best ground coffee and it isn’t (shock) Starbucks!!!!! While it is somewhat interesting that a properly conducted taste test did pick out a ground coffee winner, let’s all take a deep breath and a step back. First off, the test looked only at 100% Columbian. [...]  Most coffee machines are actually drip coffee makers, but the coffee they make is by necessity an average cup of coffee – although the Technivorm Moccamaster tries awfully hard to avoid the problems. The issues is that drip coffee making – dripping hot water through grounds and a filter – is a method that requires [...] |
