So I searched the catalog and there are no good coffee threads.
I've been messing with french pressing and grinding coffee for a little by myself and I'm looking for outside experiences and opinions to up my game a little bit.
Tips on best methods when french pressing? I'm still messing around with different ratios and brewing times. The best method for best taste seems to be a 15:1 ratio, letting your grounds sit in half of your maximum water for 30 seconds, the pouring in the rest and stirring after a minute. Maximum brew time is 5 minutes for me, it seems to get me the best flavor. I've been trying to use 200 F water, but I'm starting to think that it's giving me a slight burnt flavor.
Any recommended medium/Colombian style brands? They usually have the best flavor for me, but so far the best brand I've found is starbucks medium colombian.
Lastly, any good sites for learning more on all of this?
Feel free to share experiences, equipment, methods and brands.
