I followed this “recipe” for brewing coffee and am now enjoying great home brewed coffee. I also add a pinch of kosher salt to take off the edge of bitterness and smooth out the brew beautifully (a tip from Alton from a different show).
Never ever keep coffee beans for a month or longer, no matter how they’re being stored. Coffee beans of any kind, and any roast, should be kept only 2 weeks after roast date. After that, toss them out. They will sour long before they go stale. Stay away from all store bought beans and buy from a local roaster, or online roasters that roast a day before shipping out.
i think that starbuck’s problem is that they brew the coffee way too hot. even their espresso. dunkin donut’s, in my opinion, has that problem as well as over-roasted beans.
Horaayy..there are 25 comment(s) for me so far ;)
My grandma has a coffee tree in her back yard
Its so REFRESHING (for lack of a better word) to find another man who cares about the technicalities of food as much as alot of us do :)
@Lardo137

@KrysNolatari 8 o’ clock coffee is one of the best supermarket coffee rated by america’s test kitchen/cook’s illustrated.
<3 8 o'clock coffee.
I wonder if it would be possible to use a fermenting air-lock to store fresh roasted beans allowing them to vent.
I have a feeling most Americans would hand their steak over to a machine to cook it if they could.
Did anyone catch the pun before the theme song?
We’ve got a lot of GROUNDS to cover

I do like the hat
Home… coffee… BAAAAAAD
Ya think!?!? Did you catch the dental work?
The musical analogy is speaking my language. Dig it AB!
“a lotta GROUNDS to cover.”
Alton Brown is a genius.
Part 1 has 20 seconds added at the beginning and then re-encoded differently.
How come the 1st part is always bad quality and the 2nd good?
“Morning Mood” by Edvard Grieg: Suite No. 1, Op. 46
Same production as “In the Hall of the Mountain King”
Is it me, or is that roaster Scottish?
Gah! What’s that song at the very beginning of the show? I just can’t remember…
Coffee Zombies, I’ll probably start drinking coffee soon and become one of them.
“Starbucks coffee ….BAAAAD ….”
