How to you make your coffee? What's the best coffee machine ever?

[Norrsken]

Not sure about machine but, you can't go wrong with Café Bustelo.

About what a Starbucks employee told me would be equal to 30 packets of sugar.

I tried Egyptian coffee recently. Not like a bag of "Egyptian" coffee, but what you'd have if you actually went to Egypt (prepared the same way, etc). It was pretty good.

This is what I was talking about.

IDK, I think it's fun to try many ways to make coffee and experience many cultures. I'm not sure how the Egyptian person I know makes it entirely, but these are similar if not 100% the same.

Tried making some whipped coffee today, how trendy of me. Not the prettiest picture. Does anyone else make it this way? It's a bit strong, but it was pretty good overall, nice and frothy. It's 2 tablespoons of instant coffee, 2 tablespoons of hot water and 2 of tablespoons of sugar, mixed with hot milk. I put a teaspoon of vanilla this time, but I think next time I'll try it with butterscotch.

I usually pour a cup of coffee into a glass filled with ice. I then add oatmilk and 2 tablespoons sugar-free coffee syrup OR maple syrup.

 

[J. Starke]

I have digestive problems so I don't even drink coffee.

 

[???]

Real coffee drinkers take it in enema form.

Does anyone have experience with making Vietnamese coffee? If yes, any tips?

I have several of the Phin filters and at my Asian market, they carry Trung Nguyen and Saigon Phin Daklak, plus Cafe Du Monde coffee, the Longevity brand sweetened condensed milk and the glass mugs. Cafe Du Monde is really easy to find but I use Italian espresso or even Turkish coffee most of the time (don't @ me). I think, minus the milk, the filters make a really good cup of espresso on it's own. I used these tips when I first started making it and if you want it iced.

But personally, I prefer Yuanyang tea that's coffee and tea together. The first time I had it I was like - why is this not popular in the US? It's a huge caffeine punch plus a robust taste.

Any love for Lapsang Souchong?

Patrick Stewart wanted it to be Picard's drink of choice, but the writers thought not enough people would be familiar with it so they changed it to Earl Grey. Inferior choice, IMO. Impossible for me to not love tea that smells like a campfire.

I've had it, I think it's a bit of an acquired taste for people accustomed to black or oolong teas that are just roasted. It's good but lately I've been on a lotus tea kick.

Cool, thanks! You give the best tips. Have you tried making Vietnamese egg cream? (That's going to be phase two).

Any love for Lapsang Souchong?

I love Lapsang Souchong. Especially with grilled cheese. And I use it (instead of plain water) when I make rice or quinoa.

It would have been a great signature drink for Picard.

I have not but I did find a recipe using coconut cream vs sweetened condensed milk and I might try that.

I’m a bit of a Keurig fan, but mostly because I’ve used it a ton at home and the office.

I’m the kind of person who will mix two creamers (if available) in my coffee, while keeping it a nice “caramel” shade. My favorite combination so far is hazelnut and French vanilla, stirred into a medium roast coffee (any brand works as long as the quality is good), sometimes with a spoonful/couple packets of sugar added.

 

[Red Memories]

I don't

I hate coffee

rebellion yo XD

The convenience is great but it's a inferior cup of coffee. Mostly because you can't really alter the strength of the coffee itself much.

Wait THIS IS A THING???

Which brand(s) got that kind of function?

Any..other..coffee maker.

Try french pressed. The presses aren't expensive, you can get them in various sizes and it makes an excellent cup of coffee. You will be amazed.

Ah, I think we might have one of those (just never used it, it’s probably downstairs collecting dust in the basement). Thanks haha

I ordered a Phin filter and Nguyen coffee from the Nguyen site. I see that World Market carries Cafe du Monde, so I may try that next.

Do you ever add chicory? I see the Cafe du Monde is a coffee/chicory blend, and [MENTION=1206]cascadeco[/MENTION] mentioned chicory (as being good in Vietnamese coffee) to me. I usually add a couple teaspoons of chicory (per 1 lb. coffee) to my cold brew concentrate, so I already have some on hand.

And would you say Longevity brand condensed milk specifically makes a difference? (I.e. is it worth going out of my way to find?)
