Recent convert. Have I been having shit coffee this whole time?
Ive been using a stainless steel moka pot for a week now. The quality of coffee and ease of use is far beyond what I expected and i’m using some ground coffee from amazon (ily intenso ground coffee). Is this honeymoon phase or is “commercial” coffee just horrible?
I always drank Americano, ive tried decent coffee houses for £4-£5 Americanos but they didnt taste much better than a nespresso from the office.
The best coffee ive had was made by friend, they had a whole process. It was just smooth. I didnt think I could get close to that with a basic moka setup.
I was never a big coffee guy, I drank it to stay focused and if I need a warm drink but stronger than tea. I prefer chai/tea naturally because I actually like the taste. Coffee always tasted bitter or sour to me.
Is this how it’s meant to taste? Almost like dark chocolate without the sweetness is the best way i’d put it.
