Subject: To what degree does chaff affect cup taste?
|
I was curious and haven't experimented myself, by perhaps saving
enough chaff to brew a cup so I could isolate/recognize the flavors.
Some beans roast "cleaner" than others. For instance this latest batch
from Yemen had a lot of chaff still to the beans that wouldn't come of
even with much agitation in a wire mesh collander.
Has anyone actually brewed a nice cup 'o chaff?!?! ....Zeek!

If you ground it a bit it kind of reminds me of wheat bran. Maybe
make a good bran muffin for you old farts on this board.

i'd say it has a bran-ish taste. i certainly have enough chaff
around if anyone wants to try.....

Years ago, someone on this forum did exactly that, and reported that it
didn't have much taste at all. So assuming you make a good-faith effort
to remove it, don't worry.
Best,

Economy-minded folks in Yemen brew coffee bean husks to make a drink they
call "qishr" ( قشر ) (which literally means "husk") that tastes kind of
like weak Postum. I imagine the taste of chaff would be similar . . .
