When I make breakfast in bed for my girlfriend, I make a cafetiere of coffee for two. I give her the scum off the top, then pour myself a perfect cup of middle coffee, then top hers up with the sludge at the bottom.
@fesshole have you considered making a cafetière for three, then you could both have good coffee.
@fesshole on the coffee, if you make it right, the coffee should be good all the way down, i bet that poster hasn't descaled their kettle in ages, puts boiling water on the ground coffee, and may even burn the coffee while grinding it by using a metal burr grinder or a chopchop bladed grinder that destroys the bean. I make many cafetieres of coffee, and there is no scum at the top, or sludge at the bottom. if there is sludge, the grind is too fine. i'm in a hard water area.
@fesshole I dunno mate, whenever I make food/drink for anyone, I make as if I was about to consume it myself. Just seems the decent thing to do.
You do you though.
@fesshole Personally I just don't make coffee with scum in it because I don't like scum but I'm a bit precious in that regard.
@fesshole So what you're confessing to here is being a misogynistic twat who can't make coffee.
