So I fucked around, tried grinding beans just before use, fiddled with grinds... Net result: What a waste of time.
Coffee for a n00b

You have to expect that it’ll be better for it to be better. Placebo is real, yo
Today I did a coffee experiment! Or at least a coffee temperature experiment.
Brew was with 200 F or so just off boil (at a mile elevation) water. By the time the 4 minute French press process was done then it was about 160 F per my ThermaPen, uncomfortably hot.
I waited a few minutes while stirring with it in my Hydro Flask double wall coffee much and it dropped maybe 1 F. That cup really is great if one wants things to stay hot. I’d put 175 F or so hot water in the mug about 6 minutes beforehand, for the record, transferring said water to then pre-heat the French press, then into the already-heating kettle, so the inner wall was already somewhat warm.
So I transferred the coffee into a ceramic mug, the mug starting at ambient room temperature. Immediately the coffee transferred its energy into the mug, rendering a hot to the touch mug and now 140 F coffee, about right to drink. But then over a minute or two more it dropped to 130 F, now feeling just lukewarm.
So ideally I’d pour into the ceramic mug, let the thermal mass effect of heating up the ceramic itself cool it rapidly to 140 F, then very quickly transfer back to the Hydro Flask.

Sipping a cup via this method. Did 2.5 minutes in the ceramic. 2 may be better yet.

I heard drinking a pot of coffee mixed with a 40 of Olde English takes you straight into ketosis, you should totally try that tomorrow night,
ftfy
coffee yuppies lol
I will stick with grind, 6 minutes in a french press, pour into mug, drink as is.

OK, Boomer.
Remember what you spend on two cups of yuppie coffee would have purchased a six pack of good beer
With what Toshi is doing I think we should stop, just f*cking STOP calling it coffee.
I don't know what the hell that is in his cup but it is not coffee anymore!
I got an old fashioned drip coffee maker, yah damn Frenchy.
You should embrace your Asian heritage and go with a nice fish broth, or go for something more seasonal and adulterate with a nice turkey gravy.
Toss a little sashimi in that bitch. What could go wrong?!
Couldn't be worst than pumpkin spice
most of us generally aren't buying coffee from coffee shops.
I prefer fish sauce and Sri racha in my French Roast.
a 6er of what i'd consider "good" beer is about $20. not much coffee runs $10 a cup.
I made my Hydro Flask of coffee for tomorrow tonight. (It should still be hot.)
MCT oil in it. But in light of the above I also tossed in two high EPA/DHA fish oil capsules, assuming they’ll dissolve in the heat.
We shall see if this turns out to be a fishy tasting mistake.
Woe be to the poor sucker who accidentally drinks from your mug at work.
How is your breath?

I think it depends on how heavily processed it is. Is there some kind of emulsifier in the concoction or are you going to have an oil slick on top of your poop juice?
I was making coffee the other day and saw some butter I had left out to soften up. I literally gagged a little bit.
he's already started down the slippery slope.
Slippery due to delicious fatty oils, that is
i was waiting for that.
