Misadventures in Home Brewing : Home brewing coffee is like deciding to cook a meal for a date—it sounds romantic until the kitchen looks like a scene from a horror movie. Let’s dive into the hilarious world of home brewing, where every enthusiast starts with high hopes and ends up with something that vaguely resembles coffee. So you bought a grinder, thinking it'll make you the master of the bean. But instead, you've created a coffee spectrum that ranges from 'dusty Sahara' to 'muddy flood'. And now, your espresso machine is not so much brewing as it is begging for mercy. Ever try to get the perfect grind size? It’s like trying to solve a Rubik's cube that affects your morning mood. Too coarse, and your coffee tastes like dirty water; too fine, and you could probably use it to tar a road. You thought water is just water? Welcome to brewing, where even the water has a resume. Get it too hot, and your coffee is stewing in its own bitterness. Too cold, and it’s just colored water. And if you’re using tap, why not just add a hint of chlorine for that poolside vibe? And the machines—oh, the machines! They promise you barista-level coffee at home. But what they don’t tell you is that you need an engineering degree to operate them. One wrong button, and it’s less cappuccino, more cappu-chaos.Despite the challenges, the journey of home brewing is rewarding. So maybe your home-brewed coffee won’t put the local café out of business anytime soon. But each misstep is a hilarious story to share. Keep brewing, keep laughing, and who knows? One day, you might just get it right.

Coffee concentrates are not something new. But as consumer preferences move towards cold coffee drinks and rapid service, concentrates are evolving into a product that delivers coffee-based beverages with high quality standards Minnesota-based Peace Coffee has debuted its new Premium Concentrate, which promises to bridge the gap between convenience and craft. “Cold coffee beverages are what most college students and young professionals are ordering these days. It’s a great option for restaurants, colleges, corporate campuses, and coworking spaces, and for anyone operating outside typical coffee-drinking hours or spaces that don’t need a robust coffee program.” Marc Hubble, the company’s VP of business development, told us why now is the right time to branch into coffee concentrates, how Peace Coffee incorporates its sustainable ethos into its new product, and why concentrates can unlock new potential for all types of commercial food businesses.

One person reads loudly. After a paragraph or two. Takes a pause. Give a change for everyone to reflect. After couple of people shared view on the paragraph. Reader continues. Takes a pause. Discuss. Read. Pause. Read. Discuss. Finish. The article we will be reading discusses the evolution of pour-over coffee brewing and the challenges it has posed for coffee shops. It explains how pour-over coffee, which is brewed by hand using a gooseneck kettle and dripper, became a symbol of quality and craft in the specialty coffee industry. However, the time-consuming nature of pour-over brewing has made it difficult for coffee shops to offer it consistently. The author explores various attempts to automate the pour-over process, such as the Poursteady and the Decent Espresso machine, which aim to provide the same quality of hand-brewed coffee with greater efficiency. It also discusses the rise of other brewing methods, like immersion brewing and the Clover machine, and how they have impacted the coffee industry. 1. What are the two main advantages of electric coffee machines over manual pour-over brewing? 2. What is the Poursteady (https://lnkd.in/ehViPJAG) and how does it work? 3. What happened to the Clover machine after Starbucks acquired it in 2008? 4. How does the Filter system developed by Scott Rao work, and what are its benefits?
