Love coffee.. Cannot
live without it.. Have to absolutely have it in the morning every day.. Tried
to wean myself off it once.. Was successful.. Then came back on it again.. Cuz
i still love coffee n what's wrong with having a cuppa joe once a day?
Recently got gifted a coffee percolator (from coffee
day - though i'm not able to find a picture of the one i have online).. Very
useful.. Tried it first with dunkin donuts (original blend) ground coffee
beans.. Was used to nescafe classic instant powder, so took a while to adjust
to the dunkin donuts flavor..
Once accustomed, it wasn't too bad..
Cons
- The percolator only
seems to give coffee (decoction) strong enough for one person.. They
suggest using another table spoon of coffee powder on top of
the lift-able lid, but doesn't work and results in the coffee
having a burnt taste..
- Gives watery
coffee.. So not good for people who need a strong decoction so they can
mix it with lots of milk/cream..
- Takes a while.. U
have to let it sit on the stove for like 5 minutes before it starts coming
on to the chamber at top..
Pros
- Tasty coffee-shop
coffee
- Watery consistency
liked by black-coffee lovers.. :)
Haven't tried it with less water.. It might give the
strong decoction like by madras coffee lovers, so they can add lots of cream..
Another thing i've stumbled upon is that coffee
beans need to be ground coarsely for use in percolator, as opposed to the ones
used in coffee machines - apparently.. So i'm thinking of may be buying a
coffee bean grinder to get that right.. :) results if possible later..
Though i have to admit, i like the nescafe classic
freeze-dried instant coffee powder a lot :d
