Q&A: How do people from around the world prefer to drink their coffee?

Question by Kickapoo: How do people from around the world prefer to drink their coffee?
My coffee is always sour or bitter or never sweet enough. I heard France drinks their coffee very black and strong and I learned Italy drinks the cappuccino in the afternoon and no earlier. Why is my coffee so gross?

Best answer:

Answer by Alinka
1) Depends on the kind that you buy.
2) Depends how much coffee you use, put more, it’ll be stronger, less, it wont be as strong, can be just colored water.
3) Also, depends on how you brew it.
Every country has it’s own way of making coffee, but it’s not only country, almost every family has their own coffee traditions.

Turkish Coffee

Turkish Coffee

Turkish Coffee

  • Fine grounded, medium roasted coffee
  • Traditional taste for ages

Turkish Coffee is the name given to a type of coffee whose preparation and brewing techniques were invented by the Turks. It has a unique taste, froth, aroma, brewing technique and presentation… in other words it has its own identity and tradition.

The first coffee was made in the Arabian Peninsula by boiling coffee cherries. The new method invented by the Turks revealed coffee’s true flavour and peerless aroma. The Turks introduced coffee to Europe where for many years it was prepared and consumed as Turkish Coffee.

Turkish Coffee is made from high quality arabica coffee beans from Central America and Brazil that are blended and carefully roasted, then very finely ground. The coffee is mixed with water and the desired amount of sugar and cooked in a “cezve”, or Turkish coffeepot. The coffee is served in small cups. The coffee must be left to stand for a short time after serving to allow the grounds to settle at the bottom of the cup.

HOW TO PREPARE:
It only takes two minutes to prepare Turkish Coffee. Using the coffee cup as a measuring cup, pour one cup of drinking water in the cezve per cup of Turkish Coffee (the quality of the water affects the quality of the coffee).

Add two teaspoons of coffee (5 g) and two teaspoons of sugar (as desired) per cup.

Blend the coffee and sugar with a spoon over a low flame.

When the coffee boils over a second time, pour the remaining coffee into the coffee cups.

Allow the remaining coffee to brew a while longer before adding it to the cups.

It is customary to serve Turkish Coffee with a glass of water. The water prepares the mouth for the coffee’s flavour.

When serving a large group, it is best to prepare semi-sweet Turkish Coffee.

Has anyone tried the coffee made from berries a bird eliminated?

Question by Jaydens dads dominatrix: Has anyone tried the coffee made from berries a bird eliminated?
Its rare, very expensive, and supposed to be a real gourmet treat.

Best answer:

Answer by dipydoda
Actually, it isn’t excrement from a bird, but from a mammal called a Luwak (a relative of the mongoose). The Luwak eats the coffee beans, then it is collected. It’s cleaned very well before being sold for human consumption. It’s made in Indonisia and sells for about 160$ a pound. I did share a cup(25$ ) with 2 other friends of mine, it was very good, but I wouldn’t pay that much ever again (fun treat, and can say I’ve had it). You can find cheaper coffee that isn’t as good, but does the job.

Decaf Coffee

“Coffee without caffeine is like chocolate without chocolate.” You think?

Coffee is everybody’s pick-me-upper in the morning. The caffeine it contains has the kick we all root for. However, there are still people who aren’t huge fans of caffeine because of the side effects like palpitation. They don’t mind it now, though, since they can still have the full flavor of coffee minus the bothering side effects of caffeine. Decaffeinated coffee is their go-to.

Caffeine has a great impact on the nervous system. The energy it gives us helps us in our daily tasks. It can penetrate into the bloodstream only temporarily since it can be excreted. In addition to these, it can help relieve headache, it adds up to the effectiveness of analgesics and majority of migraine medications have it as an ingredient.

While the stimulatory effect it has is the main thing people rave about coffee, it can also be the thing that drives some people away. Caffeine, especially in massive amounts, can cause major tension and anxiety and can also increase the production of urine and gastric acid.

Caffeinated drinks before bedtime can also bring about insomnia, affecting out performance the day after. Arrhythmia is another serious thing it can cause, especially to those who are diagnosed with heart ailments. When you cling to caffeine and instantly rid yourself of it, you could be suffering from withdrawal symptoms which include depression and fatigue.

Decaffeination is done through a chemical process. Say, a coffee bean is run through water or a steam to make it swell. Caffeine will be extracted using water or any solvent after that. And then, the beans are washed to get rid of the solvents, then dried. It can then be roasted.

The process drastically lessens the amount of caffeine in a product without having to remove the fullness of the flavor. By then, caffeine-sensitive people can tolerate it due to it caffeine content being very little already. It could still have stimulating effects but they will be very minimal.

All the coffee lovers today can enjoy their coffee, be it the strong caffeinated version or the mild and decaffeinated, but the flavor is always there.

Q&A: What kind of coffee you buy from the grocery store has the most caffeine?

Question by Joshua: What kind of coffee you buy from the grocery store has the most caffeine?
I drink coffee every morning and i usually drink Folgers but i want a coffee that has a little more caffeine, what brand has the most?

Best answer:

Answer by Tom ツ
The caffeine content of an average 5 ounce cup of coffee can vary from 40-150 mg. Two influencing factors are the variety of coffee bean and where it is grown; both can be affected by such things as soil conditions, length of growing season, and time of harvest. Even coffee grown in the same general region will vary in caffeine content.

Three more controllable factors are how finely the beans are ground before coffee making and the method and length of time used for brewing the coffee. The drip method, with fine ground, used in machines like Mr. Coffee, generally yields the highest amount of caffeine, ranging from 110-150 mg per five ounce cup. Percolated coffee is next highest in caffeine, ranging from 64-124 mg. Isn’t it interesting that many people say that brewed coffee tastes best? Instant coffee may be lower in caffeine averaging between 40-108 mg per cup.

Decaffeinated coffee, despite its name, does contain some caffeine, although only about 2-5 mg per five ounce cup

Here is information on caffeine content based on brew method

5 ounces of Drip Method coffee contains the most caffeine at 110-150 milligrams

5 ounces of Percolated coffee contains 64-124 milligrams

5 ounces of Instant contains 40 -108 milligrams

5 ounces of Decaf contains 2-5 milligrams

5 ounces of Instant Decaf contains 2 milligrams
