Just as a source of info on Cold Brewed Coffee:

He has another earlier article that is worth the read.
IIRC
Cold Brewed/ Sun Coffee was all the rage in the early 70's.
Have fun!...

Darn hard work to get it done.
We just used a wide soup plate with saran wrap stretched over it to allow the water/ grounds mix to steep overnight..Then poured it the next day through a Melita type...

FWW, YMMV
Back when we were newly married, we made vacuum pot coffee and saved the used and dried grounds for cold process coffee. Very tasty and low caffeine. Saved a bit of money also.

I also, enjoy all of ritual and tastes! Just not as often! It does help me awaken and sit back and plot my day in the AM! I am lucky to be able to really good fresh ground coffees and cool machines....

Good books..

Just bought an Espro. A bit fiddly but makes good brew. Quick clean up though.
Still learning it though. Bought on sale.
~Richard

Their vacuum packed ground coffees are also great in a 'moka" pot. Cafe Bustelo and Medaglia D'Ore are good ones to have on hand for the times espresso does not meet your need, or the god machine is...

That looked like a great pull!!

Me, a nice fresh Mexican roast from my local roaster. A little darker than I prefer but still not a problem of taste using the Cremina! Double shot 8oz Latte is my...

Interesting!
I am drinking a pulled Latte of...Ethiopian, medium light roast, now three days since roasting.
~Richard

As an answer, i am using Papua New Guinea beans as a light city roast for my Latte this AM. I change beans about once a week.
~Richard
Enjoy your brews!

Check with your local coffee supplier or roaster.
YMMV

The beauty of coffee in all its glory and variety is gift to us humans with also varied taste. What ever bean,roast,and preparation that meets our palate, is the way to enjoy coffee

Happy Easter!
I would agree about *$. A lighter roast may not work well unless you have very hot water to brew it (about just off the boil in a pot/ the time it takes from stopping heating to get...
