You don’t want the bulk of the coffee to be at boiling temperature or it will be ‘stewed’ – all those volatile oils will have cooked off. The same rules apply – freshly ground beans are best, and also a small sieve is handy as you do tend to get some grounds in the cup as well. As for my coffee keeping people up, well I mostly only drink my coffee first thing in the morning for that very reason!

I’m thinking I need to dust it off and go buy a coffee grinder and some beans. I remember that time I drank brewed coffee at your place at night. It kept me up, but it was soooo worth it! xx
