Salty Coffee!

March 31, 2021 //  by Karen//  Leave a Comment

An old trick to improve coffee flavor is to add salt to the coffee either before or after brewing. It was popular when roasted beans staled in open bins and paper bags. It was also popular for low grade, high acid coffees. In the United States salting coffee has been replaced by sugar. However, it is still popular in some European countries. Salt like sugar dulls the palate so that bitterness …

A Spoonful of Sugar Makes the Coffee Go Down!

March 2, 2021 //  by Karen//  Leave a Comment

Coffee is naturally sweet. Ripe coffee fruit has about the same amount of sugar as a wine grape. When coffee fruit is processed well, the green bean maintains its sugar until it is roasted and the sugar is caramelized. However, the average roasted coffee is bitter. The result is that consumers add sugar, honey, brown sugar or low calorie sweeteners to their coffee. For many consumers the …

Coffee Scooping

February 27, 2016 //  by Karen//  Leave a Comment

Hula Daddy Coffee Scoop When my grandmother made coffee, she used the scoop that came with the 5 lb. Hills Bros can and did what Hills Bros told her to do. She used one scoop for each mark on the side of her percolator. She didn't weigh the coffee, she didn't weigh the water, she didn't know what the water to solids ratio was. She did what she was told. It worked for her, my …

My Coffee Pot Lied

February 21, 2016 //  by Karen//  17 Comments

  We used to wonder why when we poured out a 12 cup coffee maker carafe that we never got 12 cups of coffee. We get the same question from our Hula Daddy farm visitors.  We now know the answer. On every automatic coffee maker the manufacturer puts measuring marks for the number of cups. If you buy a french press, Clever, siphon, Cafe Solo etc. the box says how many cups it …

Breaking the Dark Roast Paradigm

March 24, 2015 //  by Karen//  Leave a Comment

For years, specialty coffee has been stuck in the dark roast paradigm - roast coffee beans until they are dark and oily, brew the coffee and then add sugar and cream to kill the taste. Even better add sugar, cream, flavoring, give it a fancy Italian name and sell it for $6.00. Fortunately, coffee roasters are learning that while you can sell over roasted coffee to all of the customers some of the …

The Perfect Coffee Pot

February 27, 2015 //  by Karen//  9 Comments

The best way to brew gourmet coffee is still by hand in a french press, siphon or a pour over. However, automated coffee brewing methods are getting better. The perfect automated coffee brewer besides brewing a fantastic cup of coffee should be fast, convenient, easy to clean, always brew at 200 degrees F and provide a four minute extraction. So far no coffee pot meets all of those criteria. If …
