Re: American style coffee

Haha! Really? How did that go? My 4 year old niece likes to whack them with the coffee tamper so all the little bits go flying around the kitchen. That doesn't works so well as a method though!

Not to bad. We use the mortar and pestle all the time, so I'm used to grinding things in it. It didn't get as finely ground as it was supposed to though.

Just FYI: This way of making coffee is not a solely American concept. :-) We have those things in Germany as well. Although, I personally get my coffee out of a Nespresso machine and don't drink the swill that (usually) comes out of those big coffee makers. (Mainly because I only drink latte or cappuccino.)

also i'm not sure how many non-americans make a habit of drinking their coffee black, but i know quite a few people who somehow are able to stomach it straight from the machine. it's....odd, if you ask me, but i can't really judge.

I drink mine black because you can taste the actual flavor of the beans better, unless it's Indian coffee, then no because that stuff tastes terrible black.

Oh, yeah. I know it's not only American. I saw one in a school staff room in England once too, I've just never operated one and I don't know what they're called, that was the best way I could think of to describe them. Plus, I see a lot of them on US TV.
