Thread: Coffee Enthusiasts

Yeah the silt is a hallmark of the French Press. Most people that drink french press skip the last sip of coffee. It's a bit of a trade off for the extra flavor the French press gives.

speaking of silt, The first time I had a Turkish coffee I did not realize the amount of grounds that were in the cup. Last big swallow YUCK!!!!!!!!!!

Lol yeah Turkish coffee will get you every time. Did they put an egg in?

Yea I knew a guy that use to save his eggs shells and ground them into his Turkish coffee and every once in awhile would use a whole egg. The egg shells I think are traditional for Turkish coffee think it helped take any bitterness out of the coffee.

The Norwegians have a whole system using eggs. Look up Norwegian egg coffee.

I just looked this up, and will try it this week.
Seems like a wast of an egg, though. Those Norwegians!
I'll report back later.

Did someone say coffee?
This is just one aisle of coffee at work.

I was told that the Bay area is where most of the coffee coming into the U.S. is warehoused because the optimal climate.

New Orleans used to get a lot of coffee.

Used to know a guy in Biloxi(I think) whose family had been in the business of reclaiming coffee that had become damp during shipment. I would guess container ships have eliminated that hazard.

Speaking of New Orleans, I just finished off a can of chicory coffee.
