So back when I was first living on my own. I of course had no money and I still needed coffee. So I just started doing what I would call cowboy coffee. Where the hot water and grounds are just combined. Then the grounds settle to the bottom. I have had a number of people find this quite uncouth and have tried to make me change. So I just got curious about what everyone here thought.
And just as a point of order. I like it and have no plans to change. Any attempt to sway me will fall on deaf ears. Though I am quite willing to accept the title of heathen if people decide so.
Okay so I know it’s hard to believe but grounds in the mouth is not a problem. I am not saying it never happens but it is very rare. I have found a brand and grind the settles very easily with just a quick stir (or shake as I have a lid most of the time) and they really do stay at the bottom. The two things I have to remember is to not tip the cup up too fast to drink and to not drink the bottom of the cup. Both of which I never have to think about anymore.
I have used French presses and they are fine but honestly I don’t find them necessary.
