Weak Coffee

[don_nairn]

I seem to associate with a group of wimpy coffee drinkers.

(one of them is my wife)

most of them say this coffee is too strong.

any suggestions other than just add water?

Bigger cups? Thats how I control the strength with my partner.

Re: Weak Coffee

find a new crowd and ditch the wife before you get too attached.

what sort of coffee do you make them at the moment?

Re: Weak Coffee

Gee your harsh get rid of 20+ years and kids over coffee.

They have all sorts one woman said she liked strong coffee so I made her a long black, I then diluted it by 3 times (about 33%) strength and she thought that was nice. The final drink was diluted 1:10 this was using a stove top

the group at work I brought in some coffee for a drip machine I expected them to use all the coffee I provided and they used 30% of it they thought it was nice I thought it was very thin.

I have been roasting my own beans from various regions.

Re: Weak Coffee

I find when I make coffee, I put a 30mL shot in 120mL milk for a cap, and its perfect for me. For my guests, I generally put the same 30mL shot with 190mL milk, and they normally are happy with it.

I would assume people who like long blacks etc would be expecting a 30mL shot in around a 250mL glass if they dont like it overly strong.
