As a Brazilian, I can say that we start having coffee for breakfast at a very early age, basically, as soon as you can drink something out a cup, but it is usually mixed with milk. In fact, the staple breakfast in Brazil is (or used to be) coffee with milk, bread and butter (or margarine, mind you). Coffee is so common here as a morning drink that our word for breakfast is, literally, "morning coffee" (even when there is no coffee in it).

I didn't know there was so much hate for cold brew. I strongly prefer it to any other kind of coffee because it's less bitter, less sour, and causes me a lot less stomach upset. So for me, it's better in all the ways that matter!

@danielleanderson6371 Рік тому

The best way to make coffee is the way that tastes best to you and makes you feel the best. We all have different taste buds, different metabolisms, and different medical situations; there's no one-size-fits-all way to make coffee. I also like a cold brew, but I have to do decaf and water it down a bit to play nice with my meds and get enough flavor out of it without blowing out my palate with bitterness. That's the thing few coffee snobs want to admit, by the way. You don't have to drink full-strength coffee to enjoy it black, and watering it down a touch can soften things up enough for your palate to make sense of it all.

If the reason for quitting was issues with the caffeine intake, try switching to SPECIALTY coffee. The amount of caffeine in coffees that qualify as specialty (and in all 100% arabica coffee really) is way lower than the amount present in regular comercial ones (robusta or arabica/robusta blends), since it grows at high altitudes and, as James explains, the plant doesn't need to produce that much caffeine. Also, the taste ;)

@crazyjplays3392 Рік тому

caffeine itself is in part what's known as a "digestive accelerant" this means that in addition to giving you energy it has a side effect that speeds up the digestion process and thus results in bowl movements occurring sooner; since there is a significant amount of caffeine in coffee, that's why coffee makes you go to the bathroom.

I'm glad to see the Aeropress mentioned. To anyone who hasn't used one I imagine it seems like a silly little device but it actually does make great coffee. Just get yourself a kettle to boil the water, a burr grinder and some good beans and you'll have a really good cup of coffee in under 5 minutes.

@Thragdain Рік тому

Was also pleasantly surprised to see the Aeropress, using it with the inverted method is my favorite way to make coffee. So strong and delicious! Reusable metal filter also a good add on for it.

@BlairdBlaird Рік тому

@@Thragdain FWIW James has an Aeropress guide, and does not use or recommend the inverted method. I switched to his method, coffee is still delicious, but I've stopped knocking my grounds all over the counter (inverted is a lot less stable). I don't know how well the normal method works with a metal filter though.

@Thragdain Рік тому

@@BlairdBlaird been doing it inverted for years and never had an issue. I like doing it that way because I can fill the the water to the top and let it sit for a while with nothing leaking into the cup. I'll check out the guide even if I'm pretty set in my ways and unlikely to change edit: watched it but I prefer inverted. To each their own though

The person who said 'why do people put milk and sugar in their tea and coffee' sounds like such a snob. Coffee can taste like however people like to make it - calm down yourself and just let people do what they want to their own drink, it doesn't affect you. By the same logic why don't you just pick the coffee bean straight off the tree and put it in your mouth, why bother to roast and push it through pressurised boiling water, learn to love the natural bitter taste smh this is why people hate coffee snobs

@xgirlykrnx Місяць тому

21:32 The last question (and answer) broke my lil korean heart. If made properly with the correct ratios, dalgona coffee is DELICIOUS. The whole point of the drink is to be sweet- it's based off of an old candy that was sold by street vendors. But as a former coffee snob, I totally understand that sweet coffee is not everyone's first choice. ❤

@katiesullivan9764 Рік тому

3 or 4 cups a day is so wild to me! I love coffee and I wish I could handle that much. For some reason I seem to be really sensitive to caffeine, even having 2 strong cups is sometimes enough to make me really nervous and hyper aware of my heart beat

@jenniferchough 4 місяці тому

Maybe you’re thinking a full mug of coffee when he says a cup…? Just guessing. Typically a standard “cup of coffee” is less than 200mL (around 6 oz.). So 4 cups of coffee would still be less than two cans of your typical soda.

I find that if you ever need to re-heat coffee, the way to go is to heat up milk and pour the coffee in afterwards. That way the coffee isn't heated as drastically, but you still get a nice warm beverage.

@cothfi Рік тому

That's good if you like milk. But if you don't like it microwave is the safest way to re-heat the coffee without changing its taste.
