Is this bad? Quote
Hovadipo Posted July 1 Posted July 1 It's summer so I put my pouch of cheap coffee in a pitcher overnight in the fridge and have about 6 days worth of coffee ready to pour over ice 12 hours later. Suck it Stu! Class of '66 Old Fart and FortWayneHoosier 2 Quote

Is this bad? In order of importance: The quality and freshness of the ingredient. That means whole beans that have been roasted between 5 and 30 days before use. The skill of the 'cook'. The equipment. Ground by a conical or flat burr grinder (not a blade grinder) before each use. So freshly roasted, properly ground beans brewed in a Mr. Coffee is infinitely better than stale, pre-ground coffee brewed in very, very expensive equipment. Compare it to making a steak. The most important thing is getting a excellent piece of uncooked meat. Even a Michelin chef can't make it good if it's gristle that is six months old. And a great chef with a great ingredient can make it great with a bad frying pan. Give that great steak a great chef and great equipment and you're never gonna put ketchup on that sucker. Final rule: If you are making coffee that has ANY correlation with any ideas of @Hovadipo? It is bad and wrong and bad. And wrong. FortWayneHoosier 1 Quote

Suck it Stu! That's actually not a bad strategy. Put great coffee ground fresh in a pitcher in the fridge overnight and you'll have six days of fantastic iced coffee with no extra effort! Quote

Was in Ethiopia several years ago, and the coffee there was amazing. Much better that some of the crap pushed on the masses around these parts. The same is true of much of Central and South America.
