Coffee is a brewed drink prepared from roasted coffee beans, the seeds of berries from certain Coffea species. From the coffee fruit, the seeds are separated to produce a stable, raw product: unroasted green coffee. The seeds are then roasted, a process which transforms them into a consumable product: roasted coffee, which is ground into a powder and typically steeped in hot water before being filtered out, producing a cup of coffee.
Coffee is darkly coloured, bitter, slightly acidic and has a stimulating effect in humans, primarily due to its caffeine content. It is one of the most popular drinks in the world, and can be prepared and presented in a variety of ways (e.g., espresso, French press, caffè latte, or already-brewed canned coffee). It is usually served hot, although chilled or iced coffee is common. Sugar, sugar substitutes, milk or cream are often used to lessen the bitter taste.

Brits are far more accepting of alcohol in coffee.
Most coffee drinkers I know are happy to have a little something in a cup of coffee after a meal.
Not honey though, unless it was a honey alcohol 😂

Hai Everyone,
Whenever I make McDonald's brand coffee at home and I am following the package instructions, it always turns out a lot more bitter and less smooth than what I get in-store. Does anyone know if they have a specific brewing process or trick, like adding a pinch of salt or something...

Hi everyone, I recently bought a moka pot, but my first coffee was terribly watery.
I'm using a powdered coffee that says it's a regular grind, and I fill the pot with cold water up to the valve, and then heat it in the stovetop in medium heat.
I like a thick, full bodied coffee. Any ideas how...

Mentions of coffee grinders have popped up in a couple of posts lately, so if your the type to grind your own beans, let’s see yours.
We have coffee three times a week (Fri-Sun mornings), and MrsT drinks different coffee than I, so this grinds two batches of beans on those mornings:

My Keurig comes with an automatic reminder as to when to descale it, which I do using a mixture of water and white vinegar.
I also descale the tea maker and the electric kettle at the same time.
Do you routinely descale yours?
