Hey, coffee friends!
I hope your week was good. Mine was good and my coffee, too.
About this moka pot vs. French press topic, well, if it's a gift, I'd prefer a moka pot because I want to start my collection again, but if I have to choose what my friend would use to make the coffee we were going to drink, I have to see about that: if their French press is of good quality and they know how to use it, I'd choose this one. Why? Well, coffee brewed with a French press has a more rounded flavor, even when it's dark roast; it's more gentle on the palate.
The coffee I had with that muffin was brewed in my little French press. Luckily, it was delicious. It had never happened before, haha.
I hatrdly ever use my cheap little French press because, regularly, it doesn't make good coffee--or it's me who doesn't know how to use it, hehe--,but when some friends of mine use their fancy French press, oh, what delicious coffee they make! So I don't lose hope of making a coffee as delicious as the one they make and from time to time I pray to the Coffee Goddess and take the risk of using my French press. Today it went well!
Wow, it's a good thing you still have your French press. Mine was 10 years old, and it's gone. After that, I just used the traditional way of making coffee at home. I buy Nescafe Gold Black Coffee, a little sugar, and no cream, and that is how I kick-start my day. But whenever I go to a coffee shop, I want something new, not plain coffee.
Btw, that muffin is so yummy.
The muffin was glorious 😸 It was a gift.
I don't think I've tried Nescafé for the last couple of years, though I do use it in my brownie mix sometimes.
Maybe you should review your brewing recipe with the French press! 😁
In general, French press is just the tool that will divide your beans from the liquid! Similar to filter method. Is your coffee too bitter? What flows do you find?
Any brewing method can produce beautiful coffee! It is more of a personal preference how you will enjoy your coffee more. Best wishes!
Really? I'll do that, I'll review the recipe and the recipe maker 🤭🤣 I think I need to grind the beans coarser, for starters.
And make sure the water isn’t boiling… maybe around 85-88 degrees centigrade 🥸
Thank you so much for that tip!
I can only say that I have not tasted the coffee from all these coffee makers, so we have a long account to settle!!!!
You have! Don't say you don't remember. Makes feel like cheap coffee 😂
Hahaha...
The point is clear. Start polishing your coffee pots. Adriana is coming!!!
Polishing I am!
Maybe your ebony coffee maker feels that you don't want it, that's why it doesn't give you the coffee you expect🤭 You should talk to him like you talk to plants, who knows maybe a miracle will happen.
Luckily you have your French press to make your delicious coffees. Now I see why you chose it.
A morning coffee to brighten up your day.☕
I'll start talking to my little French press, hehe. I don't know if it'll make great coffee in the end, but it's going to be fun for those watching me do it 😂
I have never made coffee in a French press. But I would like to learn how to use it.
That muffin with coffee looks so delicious.
I have a cousin who collects moka pots and she has some very old ones. Her most recent acquisition was given to her by my mother who had a moka pot with a ceramic top. She offered it to me and in my eagerness not to accumulate things that I won't use I told her to give it to my cousin and they even put it to work, hehe.
Among the things that the thieves took when they broke into my father's house was a beautiful moka pot with a ceramic upper chamber 💓
Oh, I totally understand when you say you're avoiding storing things you won't use. I recently moved house and had to get rid of so many things because my new place is ten times smaller than the old house I used to live in. But small as it is, I'm making space for my moka pot collection; it might not be this year, but the idea is fixed on my mind.
I wish you good luck with your collection and I hope you will share on Hive how it is growing.
Hopefully!!!
Sure, my Hive coffee friends will be the first to see the progress of my collection ☕❤️
