How Do You Like Your Coffee?
Thursday, October 11th, 2007I love drinking coffee, and do you? Actually, I like to take my coffee two times a day – one in the morning (black with no cream and a little sugar) and one in the late afternoon (with cream and no sugar). Strange coffee habit, but that’s me, and how about you? How do you like your coffee?
I prefer espresso for which I have my own espresso machine. But what I found recently is the fact that espresso coffee has less caffeine than the Oriental (aka Turkish) coffee, which I think is very odd but yet it has its logical explanation:
The more the water seeps through the coffee grind, the more caffeine is absorbed into the coffee itself. The water runs through the coffee grind for the espresso for about 20–30 seconds tops, whereas the water in the drip brew machines seeps through the coffee grind longer for as 4–5 minutes, which makes the coffee much stronger.
So if you really love stronger coffee, but you are still not ready to give up on you favorite espresso, then I suggest you to try a French press coffee.
