bikeman564™ Posted October 16, 2017 Share #2 Posted October 16, 2017 I do believe coffee can be made too strong, but I've never had this tingling tongue syndrome that you speak of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx Posted October 16, 2017 Share #4 Posted October 16, 2017 Navy coffee rules. Don't clean the pot, it changes the flavor. If the spoon stand up by itself, it's ready. Did I mention don't clean the pot. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Road Runner Posted October 16, 2017 Share #6 Posted October 16, 2017 Making coffee too strong is not a problem. Just add a little water or milk. Making it too weak is a problem. No way to make weak coffee drinkable. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisL Posted October 16, 2017 Share #9 Posted October 16, 2017 My Tante (Aunt) is old school Dutch and makes her coffee incredibly strong and hot. I usually thin it out a tad and it still makes my hair tingle. So yeah it can be too strong but once it's brewed you can always makes it lighter, you can't make it stronger.

This is why baristas clean their expresso parts. I used to have a Navy Master Chief work for me and I loved to pay him a visit just for the coffee and conversation. He didn't clean the pot but the coffee maker was spotless. A pinch of salt and some other Navy magic and his was the best coffee evah! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UglyBob Posted October 17, 2017 Share #18 Posted October 17, 2017 My grandfather used to make what he called "Cowboy Coffee." You throw a couple of hands full of grounds in the pot, set it on the fire, and boil the crap out of it. When you think it's ready, open the top and throw a horse shoe in. If the shoe sinks, it's not done yet... 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You put the grounds in a cup, pour boiling water, let the grounds settle and drink. Too gnarly for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parr8hed Posted October 17, 2017 Share #26 Posted October 17, 2017 This will probably surprise none of you, but I have to have a lot of cream and sugar in my coffee to drink it. I like my coffee like I like my beer. Light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donkpow Posted October 17, 2017 Share #27 Posted October 17, 2017 I remember my first coffee from an Italian percolator. It was served to me by a Italian who was a professional accordion player in his younger days. He served it with a shot of whiskey. I thought I was going to die.

Actually, I saw him add mesquite beans to it once when we were camping. He was short on coffee and used them to stretch it. Said it added flavor and sweetness.

Try stretching the coffee with peyote buttons. It will stretch in ways you never thought possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12string Posted October 17, 2017 Share #30 Posted October 17, 2017 My wife brought some Chicory coffee back from a business trip to New Orleans, like it was "special". The only reason it exists is because they needed more coffee for the troops, so stateside coffee got stretched with chicory. It tastes like - yeah, coffee with chicory in it. So now it's a thing. Currently waiting for the grinder is a Scottish Coffee that was aged in Whisky barrels, And a natural roasted Costa Rican, that gets roasted with a bit of the cherry mucilage still on the beans.
