Why is the same coffee taste better from a coffeeshop than homemade?
Hey there. Can anybody tell me, why coffee tastes better, if I buy it in a coffeeshop?
For example: If I make myself coffe with exactly the Dunkin’ Donuts coffee ground, they use to make their coffee it doesn’t taste as good as the coffee they sell, by far not. Why? I mean; I used the same one? What do they make different? I have tried out making the coffee with about every ratio of coffee and water, but I really never got the taste!
I hope anybody can help me!
@Mia s: I was talking about plain coffee, without cream and sugar.
Several things here:
If you do not put any effort into making the coffee the experience is better.
Dunkin’ Donuts has to clean their coffee makers regularly as part of Health Dept requirements. Therefore there will be little in the way of stale taste, leftover grounds in the system, murky water, etc.
Your drip coffee maker at home probably brews coffee that has a weird bitter taste. If so, it needs to be cleaned. Run a pot of water through that has about 1/4 white vinegar. No coffee in this one! Then run straight water. Run the filter holder through the dishwasher. This ought to improve the taste of your coffee. If not, buy a new drip machine. I learned that the best coffee is made with a French press. They are cheap, brew excellent coffee, require no filters, and can be broken down completely and run through the dishwasher.
