Why does coffee at breakfast places taste so much better than the kind at home?!
Answers: I would love to buy the kind they get. Anyone know a brand from Denny's. Yours Truly or any other place??
Most of these answers have helped you out, but I must chime in with my 2 cents! Coffee at most restaurants are a higher premium blend from specific coffee roasters (either national or local roasters) & tend to use a better quality coffee bean than your "off the shelf" name brands. So a few things MUST happen to have a great cup of coffee--good beans, good water & proper brewing temperature. You can get good beans through the website from great roasters such as Aroma Coffee, Matador Coffee, or AAH! Coffee. These are small roasters & you will not be disappointed. 2nd--make sure you are using good water...nothing that taste horrible before you brew it. 3rd--correct temp from a brewer is tough with over the shelf models, but they are out there. Look at Capresso brands through many outlets on the web. Hope this helps--coffee is a wonderful world to explore & soon you'll be a coffee snob!
I guess it is the way the they prepare it.
And the fact that you did not have to make it yourself.
I love Dunkin Donuts myself.
I would say Premium ground coffee beans. The best stuff to get is probably at Wal-mart in the coffee bean dispensers. They also sell awesome coffee beans at SOME Starbucks.
because you arent making it.
:)
Because you didn't have to go to the hassle to make it yourself. Like when you go out for supper, doesn't it taste so much better because you didn't have to make it?
I don't think the brand really makes that much difference, except you want to go with a good brand and not the cheap stuff. It's the roast and varietal or blend. I think breakfast places tend to use a medium-roast blend. Probably a blend of Colombian and Sumatran, something like that. (Personally, I don't care for Denny's coffee, I find it mild and watery.)
Please don't take this personally, but if you don't like your coffee at home, maybe you're not making it the way you like it. Maybe you should try a different method?
because the breakfast places use good cold spring water, they use premium ground coffee, they use a good quality coffee maker, and they serve it to you.
They use better blends of coffee, sometimes cheap coffees have fillers like small chips of burnt wood in them. Sounds bad i know, but it is true. Plus they have better equipment and probably pay better attention to detail than you would at home.
