One could always swallow their own beans and then capture them later.
Mate, we've been over this before: that's only for "fancy sweetcorn", not coffee beans.

Yesterday I bough a bag of beans from my fave local coffee shops. I usually buy single origin coffees but figure I'd tried their house blend, which is a mix of beans from Brazil, Rwanda, Central-America, Colombia and India.
Also roasted darker than I usually buy. Described has having notes of dark caramel and chocolate.
Brewing a cup in the fresh press I'm sitting here tasting exactly that, most excellent, YUM!!

Thanks for the heads up on this site. I ordered an 8 cup French press and a bag of their Pachamama and Santos. Have been wanting to try French Press for a long time and just never get around to grabbing one.Haven't had a French Press in a while, so bored at nigh shift I went to Bodum.com and ordered one.
55% off on the smallest Bistro Nouveau, so it only about $20 shipped.
Looking forward to testing Hoffman's method with it.

Add a Pinch of Salt to Your Coffee
It tames the bitterness and supercharges the flavor.
Anyone?

I’ve done it…meh?
But it always takes me back to a story told to me by a French bakery/bistro owner that I worked for who said this is what the “bad” alcoholics in France do.
Salt in the coffee was supposed to be some kind of buzz. I think Maurice would’ve known too; lol.

"Tames the bitterness".
Or I could just continue to brew my coffee so that it's not bitter, and rather delightful as it is? Who are these people!? Sheesh.
No I haven't tried it!

It's something I have read about before and apparently there is some science to it.

Use quality, freshly roasted beans, properly ground and brewed and no other additives are needed.
