How do you make your coffee?

I am bored Grin sooo tell me how you make your coffee?! I do coffee, milk then water as my mother always taught me that the water burns the coffee without milk in there first?

My friend does coffee, water then milk and i can't help but think it tastes different! Wether it's that my brain knows she done it that way or it actually does taste different i don't know!

How do you make yours?

Same way as you! I was also told hot water burns the coffee. I mix the milk and coffee into a paste then add hot water. People always say I make a good coffee... probably just so I'll make the next one though Grin

Coffe, sugar, milk, water...

I put milk in with teabag before water too...

marshmy · 18/09/2018 23:26

Aha so i've been doing it the right way! Everyone tells me i make a good coffee too! Milk in with the teabag is just criminal though!!!

Milk added to coffee while the kettle is boiling to allow it to dissolve into the milk properly, then water.

Never, ever put milk in tea before removing the teabag though.

Whaaat? Is this really a thing?
Have I been making coffee wrong my whole life?
I do coffee, water, milk

I’m a lazy cow and use the pod machine.
But question if you’re using freeze dried (not powdery like that fancy azera) if you add the cold milk to the coffee isn’t it really hard to dissolve?

ChilliJamandAvocado · 18/09/2018 23:30

Grind beans in hand grinder
Tip into inverted Aeropress
Boil water to 90C, pour on coffee
Stir, press coffee into mug
Add milk

Penisbeakerismyfavethread · 18/09/2018 23:31

Ooh maybe meet has answered my question- I don’t know why I thought coffee wouldn’t dissolve in cold stuff 😂🤷‍♀️

notwhitedee · 18/09/2018 23:31

Coffee sugar milk then into a paste then boiling water and it's much more smoother and creamy. My dad does the opposite and it's very strong and bitter Hmm

Fstar · 18/09/2018 23:34

Putting milk last just makes it all taste like a cup of hot water. Always let the water cool for a min too as boiling water isnt the best for coffee making as it burns it

Meet0nTheIedge · 18/09/2018 23:35

Yes, the freeze dried stuff dissolves in cold milk, we buy whatever's on offer for work so I use all sorts. It definitely tastes creamier and less bitter than if you add the milk after the water.

Are all of you milk with the coffee then the water people talking about instant/freeze dried coffee?

I ground coffee (Peet's usually), into the moccamaster

then water and brew. Half and half added after brewing.

RedPandaMama · 18/09/2018 23:51

I do 2 scoops coffee granules (Percol is my favourite), boiled water, 30ml double cream (I'm on a low carb diet ha!) and a shot of sugar and calorie free butterscotch syrup. Sooo rich and delicious. Don't eat anything til 5pm and have my coffee late morning and it keeps me full all day.

NotMeNoNo · 18/09/2018 23:57

Italian ground espresso, Aeropress, invert method, top up with hot water to make a black Americano.

GoodbyeSummer · 19/09/2018 01:21

Do has a coffee dropper thing. He puts the filter paper in, puts a scoop of ground coffee in and pours hot (but not boiling) water over fairly slowly. When he's poured enough water in and the resulting coffee has filled the bucket mug high enough, he chucks the used ground coffee and the paper away. He pours milk into his drink and adds a spoonful of brown sugar.

Purpleneonpinkunicorns · 19/09/2018 01:23

Coffee sugar milk, paste then water...I think now talking about it I'm going to make one lol

ShockShock you heathen! Always pour the freshly boiled water onto the teabag, leave for 5 minutes, stir, remove the bag and only then do you add the milk! Better still, make the tea in a teapot and then pour it into the cup and add the milk. It's so much nicer because it doesn't brew properly if you let the milk touch the teabag.

theworldistoosmall · 19/09/2018 01:30

Tip coffee into the machine (it's not food, go away - to the cats). Fill with water. Put pot under the nozzle and switch on. Pour contents into a mug.
I generally only drink coffee in the morning, strong, black and without sugar. Anyone else who wants a coffee knows how to make their own. I'm very grumpy until I've gone through my routine.

penisbeakers · 19/09/2018 01:32

Cold pressed. Then I add oatly barista, and sweet freedom dark chocolate syrup. Absolutely LUSH.

Run coffee machine with just water to wash the filter paper
Weigh beans
Grind beans
re weigh beans
Weigh water
Add water and coffee to moccamaster
Wait for 4 minutes for coffee.

A lot less faff than it sounds and quicker than a chemex or v60 in the mornings.

HeronLanyon · 19/09/2018 06:31

Use small plastic £2 drip filter holder which sits on mugs. Pre ground coffee into filter. Just off boiling water onto grounds. Few mins later excellent coffee. Nothing to clean. Grounds in compatible filter paper - so easy. Use oatly afterwards. Only reason is i doubt ability to judge how much if I put it in mug first. Judge ‘milk’ amount by colour. Tea the same - ALWAYS milk after brewing.
