Coffee ...variation...
Posted: Sun Nov 10, 2019 5:37 am
Just wonder sometimes how coffee can taste so different....sure I know there are different blends from strong to weak....but I swear....some cups I get are fablous....and some just need poured straight down the drain....
To make my observations more tangled and confusing...I'm including coffee you get at McDonald's...or stores...ya know...not home made....I mean you might think the simple explanation for variation there is how long it's been made...and part of the time that is the answer ...but I don't think always. As a frugal old cob, I have one of those McDonald's cups .(.like they used to give out so that McDonald's will give me a free refill of coffee whenever I go in and ask, I'm probably into thousands of free cups I've got by now...wore out one cup and working on wearing out the second. ...but that's a different story.....back to topic .)
About a third of the coffee I get in my free cup is fablous...as good a coffee as I ever swallowed..about a third is just common and drinkable but not great ..and about a third is pure swill I just pour out....and there has to be more too it than it's sat too long cause often they have to make a fresh pot and the just made coffee seems to follow the 1/3 rule for fablous, acceptable, or swill....could just be my taste at that moment.....but it confuses me ...of course....umm....lots of thinks can confuse an old guy if you get to thinking to deep about it......like, I just wondered how many of you followed this twisting rabbit trail clear to this point.... Maybe those determined souls will have some good answers to my ponder.......and I'm wondering....will a 1/3 of those answers be genius, and a third be ..well, I suppose maybe that might be reasonable, ...and a third be....gee what has that guy been drinking??? ,
