Let's pretend Steeper is a word and i don't have one so i made myself a Steeper because in late afternoon, after my nap, i like a strong cup of coffee. Other than a cup of water about 190°F - 87.8° C, a couple of clothes pins and a Mr. coffee filter holding your favorite coffee, adjusted to taste, that's about it. Then i researched the subject but i already had this all knowed-up.:smile:

Love it, but, I bet it takes longer that way, in fact, I know it does. I should write an illustrated book on how to mess up your coffee and spill the grounds. Have you tried just a drip method?

Please, Please, don't try confusing me.:vs_laugh:

This is an easy one, although, the video goes on & on, imo. :biggrin2:
We had a Greek housekeeper who made Turkish coffee then told our fortunes with the dregs. It's stronger than Espresso ( as long as you aren't the one with the pacemaker)

My first inlaws would boil their coffee in the water. A touch of cold water would make the grounds sink to the bottom. The coffee was good, but I have never tried the method.

My dad did that after my mom died. He called it WWII style. (I think he meant the actual grunt style)

 

[wooleybooger]

Just a few cups 2-3 maybe? What about something like a tea ball?

I have tried a lot of different ways to make a good cup of coffee. Now I make mine in a french press. I put 4 heaping spoons of medium dark Columbian coffee in my 4 cup french coffee press. I fill with cold water, place top on press and push the grounds down about 1/2 inch. I let it sit on the counter for 24 hours. I then press all the way down and there ya are. I usually drink about 4 cups of coffee a day now. I have cut down a lot, at one time I would drink over a whole pot of coffee myself a day.

How about half decaf?:smile:
Did you see his gravy and biscuit making?

We use the french press as well...’he’ puts in four scoops of regular coffee grinds to
one scoop of Expresso coffee grinds. I like it even stronger, if it were up to me
I would put two scoops of Expresso, but I don’t make the coffee, he does!

Try it Senior, buy yourself a tin of Expresso...it’s wonderful for cappuccino
as well, but you’ll need a milk frother for cappuccino.

Regular coffee doesn't bother me, I will drink a cup not long before going to bed.

Aw man, now I need to make some biscuits and gravy this morning, gooooood stuff. lol

I have never had espresso coffee, I may give that a try but I don't like anything in my coffee, just black. I did drink some cajun coffee when I visited my sister in Louisiana, that stuff will stand the hair up on your head. It was pretty good after the first swallow though.

Jim, Expresso is good! you run a little lemon peel around the cup, then throw the
peel into the cup after you pour the coffee...A dash
of anisette ( optional) makes a great cup of coffee.

Senior, here’s a link to a french press; if you’re interested.
It makes 34 oz. of coffee...

we also use a small french press to froth the milk...it cost about 10.00..

here’s a small one 12 oz ...we use a small one to froth the milk, as well
as making one cup of coffee.

This old memory bank seems to recall one of the major brands selling coffee bags a long time ago. Never seemed to catch on.

I tried some of the anisette back in the early 60s when the ship I was on was in the Brooklyn Ship Yards, that is some pretty good stuff. NYC is an interesting place, different but interesting.

I have an occasional cup of decaf. Caffeine makes me crazy. If I have caffeine and I come home, the Boss takes one look at me and knows I had caffeine. When I was a public school administrator, if I had a meeting with HR my secretary told me to have a cup of coffee before going.
