Coffee, Can The Average Person Taste The Difference?

Can the average person taste the difference of a high end cup of coffee. I am going to rule out McDonald’s and Dunkin’ Donuts and refer to the more exotic blends from your Starbucks and Caribou’s and other Specialty Coffee Shops. Can a person discern between Sumatran and Columbian, Kona and Ethiopian, or is good coffee just that, good coffee? I realize there are “super tasters” and “coffee snobs”, but I am refering to the average “Joe” so to speak, can they really tell the difference? Cheers!

What does roasting do for the coffee? I am thinking about juicing beans, to create a very strong cup of coffee, that does not have any burnt taste. For this I believe that I should use un-roasted green coffee beans. I have a lot of ignorance in this area though and need help and suggestions.

How Do You Drink Your Coffee With Whipped Cream On Top?

Just wondering, how DO you drink your coffee with whipped cream on top? Do you: ~Mix it into your coffee for it to get a lighter frothier taste? ~Drink the coffee as it is, (risking the whipped cream moustache) ~Eat all the whipped cream and then drink your coffee? Because I’ve only drank regular coffee without whipped cream, I don’t really get the whole idea of putting whipped cream on top of it, but I would like to try it! And by far, Choice number 1 seems reasonable to me. Please tell me other options!

Hey there. Can anybody tell me, why coffee tastes better, if I buy it in a coffeeshop? For example: If I make myself coffe with exactly the Dunkin’ Donuts coffee ground, they use to make their coffee it doesn’t taste as good as the coffee they sell, by far not. Why? I mean; I used the same one? What do they make different? I have tried out making the coffee with about every ratio of coffee and water, but I really never got the taste! I hope anybody can help me!

What Makes Icelandic Coffee So Darn Good?

I’ve been to Iceland last summer and was amazed by how darn good they make their coffee. It’s aromatic, strong and very dark and you can get it for free (!!!) at a lot of gas stations. Since my return I’ve been trying to brew coffee that would be as good as Icelandic coffee but I’ve failed (so far). So, does anyone know how Icelanders make their coffee? What beans do they use? Do they use normal drip coffee makers or something else?

How Do You Remove The Coffee Taste From A Travel Mug?

February 5, 2010 by Linda  
Filed under Questions

I have several travel mugs that I often fill with coffee and take with me in the car. The problem is that the cups quickly absorbed the taste of the coffee. Now if I put any other beverage, like tea, in the mugs all I can taste is stale coffee. I do wash my dishes very well with soap and water, so that is not the problem. It is just that the coffee is so strong I guess? Anyway, Can anyone please tell me how to remove this stale coffee taste from my travel mug?
