Subject: How to make a can of incredibly strong coffee?
|
Hi All,
Has anybody techniques to make enormous strong coffee, so to be used to
make coffee syrup?
I usually make a can of coffee and reuse this coffee to set a new can
of coffee over new beans, and repeat this 3 times.
But is there another way of doing it? The end result should be a can of
coffee, not just a cup.
Thanks,
Stef

Gadzooks, Marty, that reminds me of my graduate school days when we
used to put 3-4 heaping teaspoons of instant coffee in a mug of boiling
water and then drop in a couple of tea bags. Foul stuff but it kept
you awake all night.
I asked a buddy up in Pennsylvania, who makes his own coffee and fruit
syrup, how he does it. Here's his answer: Put a full can of Maxwell
House, Folgers, whatever in a big pot of water (he uses an old
graniteware camping coffee pot) and bring it to a hard boil. Then let
it sit on the counter overnight and strain it the next day. Add sugar.
He adds vanilla, too.
I cannot even imagine how nasty that stuff in the pot must be. The
syrup is nice when stirred into a glass of Nestle's choklit milk,
though.

In college I knew of some guys that would get a new can of coffee,
scoop ou about 1/2 cup, poke a hole in the bottom ot the can, set the
can on top of a wide mouth glass, and slowly pour very hot water in the
top over the grounds.
Real strong and nasty, and extremely caffeinated, as the story goes.
Never had it myself. Thought it was dumb.

I think what you are after is coffee concentrate.

Cold extraction, extended time.

Stef, sorry to be dense, but what is a "can of coffee?"

I love talking about this kind of stuff. It sure brings back memories
(mostly of hangovers, etc.).
Anyhow, I bet that the syrup would be good mixed in with chocolate
milk, etc. Sounds like fun!

John,
My poor english... I meant by can of coffee a pot of coffee, in other
words, 2 pints or so.
And what do you mean precisely by cold extraction?
Yes, what I get is undrinkable coffee. I add the same amount of sugar,
stirr and boil so it becomes a syrup.
Take 10 icecubes, add 6 teaspoons of tha coffee-syrup and add milk till
1 pint. Then blend or mix it, and you get an overdelicous coffee
smoothie :) very fast. So now I am trying to find a better way to make
the strong coffee: or a faster way, or a way that uses less coffee.
Thanks!
Stef

Are you seeking this because you can't simply buy coffee syrup in your area?

It's been done. It is called 'espresso.' Dan

How about the aeropress? Not sure if you can buy it in Malaysia
(probably not), but it would be quick and efficient. You could always
order it online and have it shipped - it's very light, and there's no
way it could get damaged during shipping.
http://www.aerobie.com/Products/aeropress_story.htm
>From the manual:
"You can store [the coffee] as concentrate for use several days later.
The flavor will remain smooth because the micro filtering removes all
coffee grounds."
(Actually, I did a little critical editing there. The manual
consistently calls the aeropress coffee 'espresso'. Well, espresso it
isn't, but it's strong and smooth and would work very well as a coffee
concentrate, in my opinion).

I live in Malaysia,
so this is one of the things I cannot find here
(like good French fries either...)
Espresso is a good idea, but that's really not a lot for making syrup.
Thanks!
