It's Time to Make Cold-Brewed Coffee!

Jen, this is a subject of debate -- and ultimately it's a hard one to measure, since cold brew is typically done as a concentrate, which everyone adjusts differently. You'll find those who say there is *more* caffeine than hot brew, and those who suggest it is less. All I can promise for sure is that it has less heat. :)

It's Time to Make Cold-Brewed Coffee!

Edited to make far more sense — this is what happens after a weekend switching between the US and Canada (and space and time dimmensions, it would seem.) We apologize for any confusion!

Where to Drink Coffee in Atlanta, Georgia

Sadly there's never enough time to get to every great cafe in every city, but I always do my best to mention great local roasters like Batdorf, who owns Dancing Goats. Incidentally, Jason, don't you work for that company?

Espro Press: For Better Tasting French Press Coffee

I wrote about Aeropress here last fall. It doesn't really behave the same as a French press, though it does incorporate similar principles.

Soda: The Dubious History (And Great Flavor) of Vernors Ginger Ale

Thumbs up to the Boston Cooler!

Kenji, one of the most distinguishing characteristics of Vernor's is also its ability to make people cough immediately upon drinking it. Also, it's no wonder the woman on the telephone couldn't be straight with you. According to a very beautiful mural adjacent Bill Thomas' Halo Burger (downtown Flint) it's plainly explained that Vernors is made by gnomes with wheelbarrows. Case closed.

Tea Time: All's Well That's Dragon Well

Hi cookiequiz, when we describe a tea's "liquor" it's describing the color of the tea itself after steeping. So in this case I meant to say it had a slight yellow-golden hue in the cup.

How Ceramic Coffee Drippers Stack Up

kdewitt, it's personal choice on your type of dripper but many prefer the ceramic for its durability, looks, and ease of cleaning. Some are squeamish about plastic near their hot water, too, which makes ceramic a natural choice.

As for filters, bleached always taste better (i.e., taste LESS) than the natural, I'm afraid. Go pick up a pack of bleached #4s, jeromesmom--they're thankfully easy to find in any grocery store.
