Why doesn't coffee have a FAFO culture (lemmy.world)

How come there is no real "wacky experimentation" side of the coffee community? The only one I can identify is the "snobby" coffee community (you know the one), and the rest being mostly just a refrained version of that.

Compare that to the homebrewing community, you have the snobbs (the mead community is infamous), but then there are the "prison hoochers", turning anything containing sugar into alcohol.

Where are the mavericks who perform the important societal task of discerning if "is coffee and cheeto-spice a good combo?" and "what happens if you brew coffee with red bull?"

On a more serious note it would be great so more people try different ways to spice coffee, instead of just trying to brew the flatest, "perfect" brew. I've found adding some fruity black tea to my coffee in a French press to work really well.

Personally i found a very old sailor technique to produce the coffee the best for me - letting a coarse grind sit in cold water for about 10-12 hrs and double filter it afterwards. Sweetened with maple syrup and cream.

This really makes my day. A bit of joy in the morning.

I’ve never heard of Cold Brew having any sailor origins, but happy to have found someone who enjoys it in the wild.

I tried it once but tried using a narrow necked bottle which was a disaster.

What do you tend to use?

I use my aldi measuring cups (the 1,5l ones) for „brewing“, then a french press for the first filtration and a normal „pour over“ filter for the second filtration. So with pretty basic utilities, but it works best for me.

I use a special brand of beans (from hanseatic coffee roasters, hamburg, germany). It has a really flowery flavour which i love.
