KK, please don't tell me you freeze coffee beans

Nothing ruins the flavor of coffee.

really? I don't normally, but I usually keep one small stash in the freezer. I know a lot of people who freeze coffee!

Lots of laughter for some men in my cup,
And : Cold Arabica-coffee.

I used to freeze my beans as well and then someone told me that when you freeze the beans the natural oils that give coffee it's taste are somehow broken down. I never freeze my coffee anymore and to be honest, I can taste the difference now.

Unroasted beans will keep a long long time, I think a year or more. Roasted beans on the other hand start to loose their flavor as soon as they are taken from the roaster.
The absolute best coffee I have ever had was coffee roasted and then brewed right from the roaster.
Some people, like local coffee here, add margarine to the beans as they roast them to increase the oils in the beans, making the coffee stronger while not as bitter. Personally I don't care for it much because I can taste the margarine as the coffee is brewed.

and?

A cup of Indian black Sikkim Second Flush Temi TGFOP1.
This time I put heaped tea spoon, steeped for 2 minutes, then it took me approximately 20-30 second to remove the strainer, I always dip it up/down 5-6 times.
We will see.

A small, very small cognac. But so small that I will have an other one

Bilbo1967 · 03-14-2011, 05:42 PM

Would like to, but in this case I forgot the comma before 'in my cup'

There's a reason for the sun shiny sky
And there's a reason why I'm feelin' so high
Must be the season
When that love light shines all around us
So let that feelin' grab you deep inside
And send you reelin' where your love can't hide
And then go stealin'
Through the summer nights with your lover

Just let your love flow like a mountain stream
And let your love grow with the smallest of dreams
And let your love show
And you'll know what I mean, it's the season

Goooodddd Morrrnnning, EVERYONE!! I think Spring has sprung! What a glorious day outside. Inside too! I'm starting today with a mug of Taylors of Harrogate's English Breakfast tea and a big bowl of really spicy chill! Hell of a combination, and hell of a breakfast, but sure tastes good, is non-fattening, and zero cholesterol!

Wow! That's a lot easier than putting an advertisement in the back of a magazine for one! On the other hand, that worked for me!
