Come on in 'The Kitchn'
This week The Kitchn is covering coffee—how to brew it, what to make with it, and recommendations for coffee-related tools and accessories. Here are some of our favorite coffee-laden posts:
- Coffee Methods: The Drip Pot: Drip brew is the most popular method of brewing coffee in the United States. To get the most out of your drip brew coffee, grind your beans right before you brew the coffee for maximum taste and freshness, and brew only what you will drink in the next 20 or 30 minutes since reheating it will degrade the flavor.
- Green to Dark: Grades of Coffee Roasting: What's the color spectrum of roasted coffee beans? From lightest to darkest roast it's roasted (green) light, cinnamon, medium, high, city, full city, French, and Italian.
- Coffee In a Muffin: Three Recipes: Want some coffee with that muffin (or cupcake disguised as a muffin)? Try out these three muffin recipes that combine coffee with fruit and chocolate.
- Recipe: Coffee Fluff: Coffee jelly + whipped cream = Coffee Fluff, a mildly sweet, creamy dessert that's like a grown-up version of Jell-O pudding cups.
- Coffee Methods: The Chemex Carafe: The Chemex Brewer, the gold standard for many coffee brewers, has been around since 1942 with its distinct hourglass shape and leather and wood saddle. Since it removes all of the gritty sludge and chewiness from the coffee, Its coffee tastes brighter and clearer than that of a French press.
