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.

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.

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

What is added or removed from cheap coffee that it makes me pee so much?

Question by Christ is Life: What is added or removed from cheap coffee that it makes me pee so much?
I grind my own beans and use a French press, so there’s more oil and higher quality; it doesn’t make me pee more than normal. However, any time I drink the Folgers at work, one cup makes me have to go two or three times. Is it the lack of oil from it being filtered or do they add cheap fillers that have something to do with it?

Best answer:

Answer by Richard Hoffman
Caffeine has two major effects on the human body. One, it acts as a stimulant, ramping up heart rate, dilating blood vessels, etc. Two, it acts as a diuretic, causing the kidneys to put more water into the urine than normal, filling the bladder faster. Folgers does this more so because of the amount of water in the blend. Cheaper the coffee the less oil in it to keep it from passing faster.

How can I distinguish a good coffee from a bad one?

Question by Sören: How can I distinguish a good coffee from a bad one?
Which elements can help me?

Best answer:

Answer by leisure j
You are a better judge of good coffee than you might think. If you like it, it’s a good coffee. If you don’t like it, it’s a bad coffee. Your opinion is the determining factor for yourself.

Personally, I enjoy a darker coffee with a bold flavor, not too bitter.
