Improve Coffee Taste

this hint may sound strange, but give it a go.  you will like it, if you like the taste of coffee.

i make plunger coffee from the ground beans.  to each pot, before adding the hot water, add a tiny, tiny amount of curry or chilly powder.  this will intensify the taste of coffee and you will not taste anything else.

remember - add only the smallest amount to your coffee.

if you don't like this idea, a tiny amount of salt also helps the coffee taste.

i usually add both salt and chilly - delicious!  even if you don't like eating curry, i think you will like this combination in your coffee.  if you can taste either the curry or the salt, then you've added too much.

You are right Kika - this tip does sound strange but will definitely give it a try - not much to loose

I presume you are drinking your coffee black and without sugar ?

With the current craze for milky frothy coffee the only way I find to get an old fashioned straight coffee is to order a long black with a drop of cold milk ....

I find the best way to get an old fashioned coffee is to make it yourself.

Coffee (like everything else) always tastes better when someone else makes it for you :)

Seggie. Once upon a time, if one ordered a cappuccino, the cup (or mug) was full of coffee and the froth extended way over the top. Now, you are lucky if you get more than three mouthfuls of actual coffee and the froth is just to the top. When I asked for hot coffee, I was told that the correct way to drink cappuccino is never really hot and that in Italy, it is not drunk after lunch.
