Red Lion Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Not really a problem worthy of a full blown rant so I'm just gonna label this one a gripe. But I've had to skip my usual cups of coffee this morning and afternoon so I'm cranky. Every time my brother makes the coffee he somehow manages to get a bunch of grounds in the brew. And I don't mean a few grounds I mean a LOT of grounds. I have no idea how, we don't use a paper filter, our coffee maker has a basket, you just rinse it out and put new grounds in and you're good to go, but somehow he manages to get more grounds in the pot than in the basket. By the time I've poured the last cup it's like I'm staring at something scooped out of the bottom of our creek. My brother will blame the coffee maker even though no one else has this problem. I don't know why anyone lets him near the coffee maker anymore but this morning I stumbled to the machine and watched in horror as blobs of gritty black sludge splattered into my cup. I didn't have time to wash the pot and brew more so I just left without having any. Then there's my friend. Lovely girl, very sweet, not that much of a coffee drinker herself. She insists on making a pot whenever I visit her but she makes the weakest most anemic coffee. I think she's said she uses 1or 2 leveled table spoons of grounds for 12 cups of water. Then there's my other friend. He's a filthy heathen who only uses instant coffee which he then proceeds to load with cream and sugar whether you ask for it or not He openly admits that he doesn't like the instant coffee nearly as much as the type you have to brew but he hates waiting and will sacrifice quality for convenience. ....I've let him know him he's going to hell. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gator Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 oops i made a bad coffee at work today but well, we were out of normal coffee filters and i had to try to frankenstein one out of smaller ones and it didn't go very well more coffee under the pot than in it, grounds all up in everything. and because it was the coffee they always have at work, it didn't even taste good. the best part is, i drank mine cold because i ran out of time and had to get parking lot trash before coming back in. so i got a tiny little styrofoam cup full of cold, gritty coffee that tasted like burnt ass. C: but i still drank it (in about ten seconds) because shitty coffee better than no coffee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our coffee is no were near ground fine enough to make a good cup of turkish coffee. The mud doesn't just sink to the bottom of the cup, specks of it tend to float to the top. Our coffee, if brewed right is decent, but you can't really do anything fancy with it. Just now, Gator said: bullshit you woulda done the same Probably.

grassfed Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 I hate when people make super weak coffee. My buddy's dad always made it really weak until I took over the coffee making duties lol We bought one of those reusable filters for our pot but it was both too small for our machine and the pores were so small that it drained super slow so it over-flows the basket. But our coffee pot is different than what I had growing up, its a Bunn machine and it looks like it came from a restaurant. The water pours over the grounds really fast rather than a slow drip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArielMT Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Find a way to watch him make coffee without him noticing. Set up a camera or something. The only things I can think of that would put grinds in the pot are too much coffee in the basket, coffee packed in the basket, or no basket used at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually watched him earlier today, he doesn't measure out the grounds with the scooper, he just dumps them from the pack into the basket until he deems the pile big enough.

Fossa Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 I love to make coffee, with African beans being my favorite, especially from Ethiopia and Kenya. Indonesia also puts out some very tasty beans. I think it's key to buy whole, recently roasted beans, and grind them yourself, using a burr as opposed to a blade grinder, so that you get a nice, even grind. From there, depending on the roast, I can go with drip, espresso, or sometimes French Press. Green Tea is just OK to me, and black tea makes me throw up, for some reason, some kind of allergy. I like Ginseng Tea best, from red roots, but this is not 'tea', per se. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you see it was very difficult. I happened to find myself in kitchen when he was making the pot. While he was at the machine I turned my head a few degrees to the right and kept my eyes open. *sagely nodding* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was still a full time college student the coffee they served on campus was so weak you could barely taste it. It was like drinking slightly dirty hot water. I drank it anyway because it was a free cup of coffee but it gave me no joy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
