Here is an easy way to make coffee at home.

pour two cups of milk in a pan and bring it to a boil

While its boiling, put two teaspoons of coffee and two teaspoons of sugar in a cup and add one teaspoon of hot milk and start beating the mixture like you'd beat eggs with a spoon.

Keep on beating the mixture for a good 3 minutes or till it becomes a paste.

Divide the mixture into two cups and pour the boiled milk in it

Stirr and if you prefer sprinkle some powdered chocolate or cinnamon on top

I don't understand what the hell kind of coffee that is up there but real coffee is made like this :

Heat up water from some sort of heat source, whether it is a kettle or a stovetop pan.
Once the water has reached an appropriate temperature of just below boiling, add the water to a cup.
In this cup, there should be 1-2 teaspoonfuls of instant coffee mix. (I prefer 1) Instant coffee mixes tend to have the coffee beans already ground up to a fine powder.
Once you have filled the cup 3/4 full with hot water, stir the water and coffee mix together.
Add any sweeteners such as sugar and any whiteners like milk or cream to your cup. Stir until the color has changed to brown. (Again add in as much milk/sugar as desired, just like english tea)
Drink up your cup of instant coffee.

Now that is pure western coffee, if you are looking for some new transformed desi method, then take the advice above.

Poor Ellbee. Fresh ground coffee is crushed and made the same way too, yo. It's a long process though.

Nuthing beats Nescafe

LegallyBrown · Jul 26th, 2006, 08:49 PM

There is a difference between freshly ground beans and the stuff that comes in nescafe jars.

Plus I like my beans to be Arabica rather then the mixture of chocolate n coffee beans.

Sara next time you go to buy perfume, take a bag of coffee beans with you.
After testing each perfume smell the beans and then test the other one.
the coffee beans helf clear the smell from your nose so in the end all perfumes donot start smelling the same

Sara516 · Jul 26th, 2006, 08:55 PM

I've heard that tip b4, in fact i think if u go to Sephora or some other shops, they have coffee beans right there..They all smell differently to me, i just can't remmeber which was which

Zabardast · Jul 27th, 2006, 02:59 AM

I think on most coffee packs...instructions are already printed/sketched...

PS: I cannot write the way to make some coffee because there are so many kinds of coffees and so many ways to make them...

aaish · Jul 27th, 2006, 03:18 AM

i also make coffee like leggally brown tells and it taste very good ,but u have to beat it too much.

LegallyBrown · Jul 27th, 2006, 08:34 AM

Zabardast I know a most of them

There is the Flat White which is basically flat coffee with no froth

Latte with a fair bit of froth

Cappucino which is 1/3 coffee, 1/3 milk and 1/3 froth

Espresso/Short Black which is just a shot of black coffee

Long Black is a shot of coffee with Hot water

Macchiato is an espresso with a dallop of froth or a teaspoon of hot milk

Monte Blanco is a shot of hot espresso poured over scoop of vanilla icecream

chips6 · Jul 27th, 2006, 02:18 PM

Zabardast · Jul 28th, 2006, 01:33 AM

You could just buy one of those coffee makers that makes single cup servings, it would simplify things for you...

Zabardast · Jul 28th, 2006, 01:22 PM

^^ Why I have to buy the coffee-maker while LB can make any kind of coffee for me...

OR she could buy herself a coffee maker and filters and grounded coffee beans or you can ground them at home. And read teh instructions.
