S'more Secrets

SJ goaded me into writing another post for RJ Coffee House. She left some nasty comments so I thought I should get on the ball and write another post, even if it ends up being a short one.

I thought I would share another secret to brewing the perfect cup of coffee. It is the grounds to water ratio. This may sound silly to some of you out there but it is absolutely necessary to have the right amount of grounds to water in order to brew the perfect cup.

Some put way too many grounds then add about a thimble full of water and end up with some gnarly java. You all know what I'm talking about. The next problem is similar only in reverse. One bean is ground up and 32 gallons of water are used. Hello that's the bottom of my cup. The coffee should be dark enough so you can't see the bottom of the cup but not so dark that it pulls light from the atmosphere.

So the next time you're brewing coffee for your guests remember to have a propionate ratio of grounds to water and you friends will always feel welcome.

Top 10

Since I did a top 10 of why coffee is better than tea, I thought I would do a top 10 on why tea isn't so bad.

10) Tea does have caffeine.

9) Tea is served hot.

8) Tea can be served cold - and boy is it good!

7) Tea can be made is small portions - per person isn't so bad.

6) Did I mention the caffeine yet?

5) Going to the Ritz and taking high tea is a blast!

4) Tea does go well with cream.

3) Hey, England is pretty cool and they drink tea.

2) Two words: Sweet Tea.

1) It may only take 32 cups to affect you but tea does have...caffeine.

So there you have it, ten reasons why tea isn't so bad. Feel free to add 11, 12...you know the drill. Enjoy.
