How To Make Coffee Options

[Mr Tein]

Got this idea from suzi and the guy who sits with me at work who loved in milan. I love good coffee but it is an art and a skill. Anybody else anal about the drink can share here there tips...

firstly suzi can tell me about her special press. My big coffee tip. Well if you liek cappaccino get one of these...

La Cafetiere Bialetti Tuttocrema Frothing Jug, Teflon Non Stick Surface and Double Filter For Extra Frothy Milk


this makes the best froth ever and widely used in Milan by the ordianry folk...

Mr. Coffee, a scoop of Folgers in the filter, run it.

At least that's all my addict parents required. They put in Half and Half, I also add sugar. I'm not a big coffee drinker though. Possibly because of the pedestrian brew I've been raised on.

the best I had was a commercial brand I had in Costa Rica- cheap stuff too, but I can't remember the brand name- I'm not even sure it was domestically produced. When our college group actually went to a local farm and sampled something there it was too strong for my tastes- typical, as Costa Rica beans are often preferred for espresso.

Spas.... I had to laugh at your "pedestrian brew" comment. That's pretty much what the mister and I drink in the morning.... My Mr. Coffee coffee maker was retired last December. It was a weddding gift so it had been working overtime since 1986 and still does work. I bought a newer, stainless/black Cuisinart one to match my stainless steel appliances. I swear a Mr. Coffee coffee maker will NEVER die !!!!! And its usually Folgers we drink too, but I think its just fine (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I've also had Costa Rican coffee. Before my sister and her husband lived in Venezuela, they lived in San Jose for a couple of years. She also brought back some of their coffee and it was vile and too strong so I know what you're talking about (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)
