Death Coffee

[Triple Zero]

98F? That's about 37C?

Cause what I always read is that, as opposed to tea, you should pour the water on as hot as possible (99-100C).

It tastes better when it's screaming hot, but IIRC, you lose caffiene.

Waking up isn't an issue, these days.  Most nights, I get three or four hours, and I'm up and moving. 

Tasted pretty horrible, but, dump enough stuff in it, it's not so bad.

Dump what in it?

You aren't one of those Goddamn infidels that contaminates your coffee with sugar and dairy products, are you?

No, not boiling hot because you lose too many of the aromatic oils that way. That's one of the reasons cold-processed coffee tastes better.

I've read conflicting things about this. I'll have to research it a bit further. (if you got any links handy, that'd be cool otherwise I'll hit google myself)

I don't have any links, I just worked for a roaster for five years and that's what they taught me.

(It's also why boiling coffee makes it taste terrible)

98f is too cool to be effective without steeping for a long time, though, and would probably result in rather bland coffee due to inadequate extraction of acids. Some people like it that way though.

That's why we use a barrel roller.  FORCE those fucking beans into the water.
