*Handy Hint of the Day*


A problem many people encounter when making a pot of coffee is that when they drink it, they find it slightly too strong for their taste. If you are one of the many, you can combat this common predicament, simply by using fewer coffee grounds next time you make coffee. This will make the coffee less strong, and therefore more to your liking.

If you are not one of the many, why not continue using the same amount of coffee as usual. This will ensure the coffee remains the strength you are used to.

A small minority of people may find that their coffee is too weak, in which case may I suggest making the pot of coffee a few days in advance, then leaving it out in the open somewhere (for example, on your kitchen worktop; dining table; porch, etc) allowing some of the water to evaporate. Then reheat the coffee, either by boiling in a pan or microwaving for approx. 30 seconds. You will find the coffee tastes stronger than before.

WARNING

I have heard from a reliable and well informed source (Dr Carl Byrne who thought he had heard something about this somewhere a while ago) that when you leave filter coffee lying around for a while it produces bad stuff like toxins which is pretty bad for you and may or may not be very dangerous but is definitely quite or very bad.

So perhaps you should retract your last point about making coffee stronger as it may be quite dangerous and you might get sued.

There is a far easier and far safer way to make your coffee taste stronger if you like your coffee strong. Simply rub some fresh coffee grounds on your tongue before each sip of coffee for a taste explosion.
