ground coffee beans but no espresso maker or plunger to make your
brew? I have on a number occasions and have tried many techniques for
separating bean from water to avoid a gritty cuppa.iT's never the
brewing that's the problem - it's always the straining. None of my
previous methods has worked very well - the old sock, the mosquito
net, the brides veil, even a regular sieve - they all either let the
grit through or slopped everywhere.
Today was different! I found an almost perfect substitute which
percolates beautifully.
Take an old teabag (opened up and de-teaed) and a large takeaway
coffee cup with lid - any economically active citizen is bound to have
one of these on hand. Place the ground coffee in the cup, add boiling
water. Lay teabag filter over the cup. Place the lid firmly onto cup,
holding the filter down. Stare into space for 3 minutes then gently
pour the coffee into a cup through the mouth hole in the lid. Add milk
and sugar to taste and enjoy your grit fee cuppa.
you're a genius shaberman. there's nothing worse then a cuppa that's full of dirty nasty grit at the bottom as personally my favourite part of the coffee experience is in fact savouring the final few ml' of cold coffee splendour at the bottom of the cup. thankyou shaber shaber man.
