Real quick (because I can sense the questions): The double shot that I pulled for the chocolate bar hack thingie is a 50ish gram shot. That’s pretty large but it’s a great parameter for the particular coffee I’m using. Also, I stopped it a wee bit late just to fully melt the chocolate. In case y’all were wondering why it didn’t look like a super tight and crema-heavy shot! You’ll just have to trust me that it tasted nice 😈 Okay okay now I’ll leave. Bye!
Funnily enough, that's what I do for mochas. 25-30g of chocolate chips (dark needs less, white needs more) in an 18g in 36g out double shot. Add about 6oz of foamed milk and it's fantastic. Learned it from a local coffee shop
Ah I'm in love with u. Ur so perfect and beautiful I love ur hair and dress up and everything. I'm going crazy now. But can someone tell me the song name from the vacuum short vid please. I'm a fan of urs
When I want to add chocolate to my coffee or espresso, I typically use just one piece of the chocolate bar, and I put it in the bottom of the cup (if adding it before the coffee... otherwise i just put it into the already poured coffee) and then stir it. I don't see where having it sit on the rim during the brew is adding anything besides a potential mess, and the fact that to put it on the rim during brew, makes you add more chocolate than it really needs, in which case you might as well just make a hot chocolate. When my daughter was very young, she wanted to do her Mamma a favor and make her a hot chocolate... she knew hot chocolate was made with milk... so she put milk in the coffee maker and attempted to heat it up. Yeah... we had to buy a new one.
Here in Brazil avocado smoothies are very common, we just blend the avocado with milk, sugar and ice and it tastes amazing. Perhaps doing that before adding the coffee would help with both the taste and the texture.
Ok but a smoothie is very different from a latte. And yes, that avocado drink was more on the smoothie side of the spectrum to me too but, it was supposed to be a latte, well, whatever.
I like cinnamon in my coffee. My grandma always made café de olla - coffee brewed in a pan with piloncllo (Mexican brown sugar cone), or just brown sugar, a cinnamon stick or two, and half a bar of Mexican chocolate. Sometimes she put a couple cloves in hers also. You boil coffee, then let it steep around 5 or six minutes. You can strain it, but my grandma usually didn't. Then used a touch of milk or cream sometimes as well.
@@8stringmonkey Idk what she did, but grounds will seep to the bottom, much like loose leaf tea! Like tea though, letting the coffee sit longer can make the drink more bitter (probably compensated by the sugar) and have a higher caffeine content.
Ideas for each hack. (Just because coming up with them was fun) 1. Puree that avocado, and mix some honey in as you do. Add some hot fluid (milk or coffee) first and give it a stir. I'm imagining a process like turning a roux into a sauce. Consider mixing the entire thing first, then adding the ice. It won't give the gradient color effect, but it might make a smoother drink. 2. Maybe test a bunch of different foaming soap dispensers to see which ones foam the most. If that's still not enough, add a binding agent to the milk, like guar gum. Mix thoroughly before adding to dispenser. 3. If it needs milk, add milk. Treat this as the base of a mocha and add milk as usual. 4. That's fine. You can also add the cinnamon in solid stick form to your carafe if you're not getting enough cinnamon out of it. Tie a string to it so that it's easy to remove when you're done. You can also add this to an emersion brew, like a Clever or a French Press, just remove from the French Press before/if you press. 5. You might try to cold brew in milk. Remember that milk is more acidic than water, so that might effect the brew time. I'm actually really interested in what would happen if you cold-brewed in whipping cream... and then whipped it.
Cold brewing in milk seems like it'd be viable. You could always use coconut milk or almond milk instead of dairy milk if you were worried about the milk fats and such.
Not gonna lie, I've had Trade for over a year and I've had to contact their customer support a couple times because (not because of anything serious on their ) and they are some of the nicest people. I know I had moved temporarily because of college and accidently had my coffee shipped to the wrong address and they straight up replaced it for free.
I LOVE trade! It’s one of the very few sponsorships that I see that are absolutely worth the hype. Such nice people and I’m always surprised at how big of a selection they have.
No rules, no measurements, just vibes Just honey That’s me when I put honey in any of my drinks. But then my family goes into the cupboard to find I used all the honey
@@djhart25 thats expensive, i usually just get cheap honey from a local store to be honest. i like in the uk, its around 80p but fresher better quality honey can get expensive, like £5 or more. but we have to drive somewhere else to get it so we only get it if we happen to go there
My great grandmother made coffee with milk by warming the millk in a saucepan. She then filled a cheesecloth with coffee grounds and dipped them into the pot with warm milk. This made a very mild milky coffee that she served to her grandchildren.
I noticed _just_ ripe avocados that were still picked at the right time and, therefore, still hold their water content taste like that. If that's the case, you need to introduce heat to it, and it "ripens". I usually make cheese, avocado and tomato toasties if this is the case. "Wet grass" avocado is common during its off season or from produce picked the month in the lead up to and of the season, as the avocados are picked too early and then can't ripen much once picked. Damn, I know too much about avocados.
@@krys8748 Ha! Don't feel pressured into eating them though. Smashed avo isn't for everyone. More for me then (although, extremely unlikely case that we source our food from the same place, but you get what I mean.)
I used to be addicted to coffee, having drank at least 5 cups a day. I quit for 3 years, dropping down to 1-2 a day, but then I was introduced to this amazing channel... and now I think I've drank and made more coffee than anyone in my country.
as someone who works in chocolate store/cafe i knew the chocolate espresso wouldnt work because 1) the bar you used has fat substitutes that affect the melting point of the chocolate (you may have a better chance with a bar that only has cocoa butter) and 2) you need the milk to emulsify everything otherwise the chocolate will not want to mix.
What's the fat substitute? Hershey's milk chocolate label lists ingredients as "sugar, milk, chocolate, cocoa butter, lactose, milk fat, soy lecithin, PGPR, emulsifier, vanillin, artificial flavor" which isn't exactly high end but isn't palm oil either... I'd be curious if a different bar shape might work better. Ghirardelli Squares have a nice lip around the perimeter of the square that might corral the espresso a bit better than a bar with multiple small pillows or frames. Or you could potentially hack the hack by melting/carving a divot at the initial pour point--or underneath if you wanted to preserve the aesthetic, or slightly warm the bar to provide a head start...
@bsidethebox soy lecithin is the additive meant to bulk out the cocoa butter. While a different shape may help with the spilling, it still wont help with the chocolate and coffee mixing together. If you've ever made hot chocolate you'll know how important mixing is haha
Rule of thumb if you want cinnamon infused liquid, Always use the sticks. Ground cinnamon is used in baking like cookies and cakes for the flavor. You wont get the same taste and itll be very meh if you try to put ground cinnamon into liquid lol it doesnt mix very well
This is our second K-Classic. We had our first one for many years, so when we had to replace it, we wanted nothing else but this exact ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxBrV-RbF5Nk0Rlt9i15aao-YMzqzTG8Vf model. We use it for about three people everyday in the morning. The taste and quick brew is one of the reasons we like it so much. There are so many choices of brands of coffee that we would grab what was on sale and test the different brands from there. I would definitely recommend trying different brands of coffee to find the ones you like the most because there are brands that quite frankly taste horrible.
Seeing the cinnamon coffee, I wonder if you've tried "Cafe de Olla" a very tradicional coffee here in Mexico. Very tasty, normally sweet, but also has a strong taste of the different spices it has.
NGL found your channel last year and I never drank coffee cause I hated it and now I can’t stand a day without it, you really inspired a-lot of people Keep on :)
I love using cinnamon, clove, and star anise in coffee, and the way I've found works best for me is to add powdered spices to the coffee in my Aeropress. Since the coffee and water mingle together much longer than a drip machine or pour-over, and the water is forced through the "puck" of coffee, it has a much more pronounced fragrance and flavor. I also like to occasionally add lemon or orange zest, and that's also delicious.
Sounds yum! Whenever I’ve added cinnamon to my brewing coffee I end up with an almost jelly consistency and the brew just isn’t right, do you not experience that at all?
I would definitely suggest trying an Ethiopian blend, or a blend that comes with the notes and flavors in it. The coffee with those flavors are always my favorite too
So with the avocado one, me and my mom make a Frappuccino that is made with espresso, avocado, condensed milk, and ice. You blend it all up and it’s soooo good and creamy
Definitely envisioned James Hoffmann's disgusted face (we all know it) when you tasted that 'drink' at the end. Followed by him shouting "No. Nooo. No. Just no."
I’m wondering if we can improve the milk brew without heat. Add milk and coffee to a press and leave it in the fridge overnight? Could that work? No heat, no water, long extraction time. I would love to see you try this
I've seen people online actually say that sort of milk cold brew in a french press gives surprisingly good results! I haven't wanted to try it though because I don't want to waste good coffee
It works! My husband and I did it once a month last summer. It does need grounds that are larger in size then the pre-ground from the store. I do a coarse grind and sift out the fine stuff before using it in the press. I use the fine stuff left over for my machine coffee. It keeps the milk from getting muddy at the bottom.
I also wonder if you could do it with boiling milk in the French press... You know bringing the milk just to a boil and then letting the ground coffee sit in it for a few minutes. This shouldn't make the milk tast bitter, though I don't know if that was the problem with the pour over..
I don't know why, if it's a you thing or if it's the superpower of baristas everywhere, but this entire channel and you as a person are so incredibly wholesome and have simply the best vibes to be found anywhere. To anyone who's reading this, have a good day. Relax, you're gonna be okay.
For the 5th "hack", in Veracruz, Mexico, they make "café lechero" which in its original form is milk simmered with dark roast coffee grounds and optionally some brown sugar, then filtered and it's absolutely delicious.
I must confess, I've only seen the "shorts" vids til now, and while they do a great job of conveying your humor, this longer video has impressed me with your poise, ability to laugh at yourself, and common sense (at least about coffee). You are adorable, you sparkle, you are intelligent and well-spoken. You have gained a new subscriber young one. (Editing to add: you remind me a lot of Rachel Maksy , the vintage sewing coffee addict)
I love avocado milkshakes so I feel like the avocado coffee one would taste better blended. The avocado just mashed at the bottom like that is kinda weird to me
Brewing coffee in milk is actually one of my favorite things to make and drink but in its cold form. The trick to it is to brew in a French press. Keep the higher heat of about 150 so it can start extracting more like water and let steep for up to 20 minutes before depressing the plunger and pouring into your refrigeration vessel(I often use a mason jar). Add any sweeteners if desired while it's still warm and let completely cool in the refrigerator. It doesn't get bitter if using a medium to dark roast and tastes very good with any chocolate based breakfast items including over certain cereals.
Ok but if you freeze the chocolate, then blend to a powder, it makes an amazing mocha. Or a frappe if that's your jam. It solidifies and makes the tiniest chocolate bits.
There's actually a product similar to milk in a soap dispenser that I found a few years ago. It was a non dairy vanilla flavored liquid in a bottle that made it foam.
3 hacks: 1 add tea to the coffee grounds then brew. It can give the effect of having a flavored creamer; syrup without the sweetness. My ratio is a guestimate 1 tsp tea to 1 Tbsp coffee grounds. Seasonal dark teas tend to work the best. Plus it round out and elongated the caffeine up take. 2 as an alternative to milk, you can add oats (quick) to the grounds, or add oat groats and grind with the coffee. Not the best hack, but better than using milk. 3 stovetop roasted oat groats make for a decent decaf experience. Aim for a medium color (~10-12 mins) over med heat. Non Teflon pan, stir, whisk continuous, allow to cool on a evenly spread out on a cookie sheet (~30 min)
When I visited an orphanage in India, they brewed Nescafé with fresh water buffalo milk and cane sugar. It was the MOST delicious coffee I had ever tasted!
The chocolate bar one was something I thought of looong ago, so I’m SO glad you tried it! Also, this wasn’t Morgan Drinks Coffee or even Morgan Spills Coffee, this was Morgan Does Weird things With Milk hehe
I love your videos - in the midst of the constant negativity and criticism on UA-cam and other platforms, it’s so refreshing to see someone so positive, open-minded, and curious!
I’m almost tempted to try a milk brew in a French Press. The brew time and grind size might be able to make up for the lower temps and without the draw down, it should finish in a reasonable amount of time
I’ve done the chocolate trick, but with Lindt balls, which makes for a less messy experience. Definitely recommend it for a latte or a cappuccino more so than an espresso. Two enthusiastic thumbs up.
Yes! I live by a Lindt store and they have a coffee bar inside where you can pick which truffle you want and they mix it into your coffee drink. So, so good!
I like using the Ghirardelli chocolate squares when i make a choco espresso. The fruit flavored chocolate squares are delicious. And melt well and enhance the coffee when you want something sweet
I'd think a better way to fix 'coffee-flavored milk' would be to warm some milk in a saucepan and add instant coffee, just like you'd do for making hot cocoa, only with instant coffee instead of instant cocoa.
ok! that cursed milk brew type of life hack reminded me something my aunt used to do, which actually introduced me to the ground coffee thing, that was the way i tried it for the first time in my life. she would put a teaspoon of coffee in a cup (just general not small not big cup), fill it with milk approx 2/3, and microwave it for about 40-50 seconds, she'd look through the glass to control the microwave and stop it right as it tries to escape the cup, then she'd just drink. the ground coffee sinks well so she never used any filters. and as a 8yo kid i actually really liked it. i'd usually sweeten it a bit with sugar. slightly cursed, but a lot of memories and warm vibes for me
a cafe I go to serves their espresso with little chocolate covered spoons, so you can use it to melt and mix or eat it afterwards also, there's a drink called amaro caldo. In a moka pot you put cinnamon, orange peel and campari on the water reservoir, fill with a bit more water and brew a coffee with it. Educated Barfly made a video on it, and it's pretty tasty
I love the chocolate "hack" during the winter holiday season when chocolate candies (especially toffee or caramel flavors!) are usually around in abundance but I place the chocolate in the cup and add milk at the end.
Same here with my daughter... she knows Morgan from Tiktok, which I don't use. She was actually surprised when I mentioned Morgan's name when talking about one of the videos because she didn't know I knew who MDC was.
In Brazil they make smoothies out of avocado (theirs are a different variety that are more sweet), so I bet if you made an avocado blended latte/Frappuccino, it would be good, since the avocado would be more incorporated.
1. My inclination for the avocado one is to liquefy the avocado--perhaps with a small stick blender if you're only making 1 drink, and maybe in a blender or food processer otherwise. Of course you're going to get unappetizing chunks of avocado if you just lightly mash it; you'll get more creaminess and thickening if you grind it. 2. I think the soap dispenser would work better if it were a foaming soap dispenser (designed to foam the kind of liquid soap which is designed to be foamed) and the milk were warm. But I would be terrified that I'm not rinsing it well enough. 5. Would a cold brew with rather coarse coffee work?
Real quick (because I can sense the questions): The double shot that I pulled for the chocolate bar hack thingie is a 50ish gram shot. That’s pretty large but it’s a great parameter for the particular coffee I’m using. Also, I stopped it a wee bit late just to fully melt the chocolate.
In case y’all were wondering why it didn’t look like a super tight and crema-heavy shot! You’ll just have to trust me that it tasted nice 😈
Okay okay now I’ll leave.
Bye!

For the 5th "hack", in Veracruz, Mexico, they make "café lechero" which in its original form is milk simmered with dark roast coffee grounds and optionally some brown sugar, then filtered and it's absolutely delicious.
I must confess, I've only seen the "shorts" vids til now, and while they do a great job of conveying your humor, this longer video has impressed me with your poise, ability to laugh at yourself, and common sense (at least about coffee). You are adorable, you sparkle, you are intelligent and well-spoken. You have gained a new subscriber young one.
(Editing to add: you remind me a lot of Rachel Maksy , the vintage sewing coffee addict)
Omg I love Rachel Maksy! No wonder I love watching Morgan too lol
I love avocado milkshakes so I feel like the avocado coffee one would taste better blended. The avocado just mashed at the bottom like that is kinda weird to me
Tbh I dislike drinking coffee, but I find your voice and speakpattern somehow really comforting which is mainly why I watch your videos..... :D
Brewing coffee in milk is actually one of my favorite things to make and drink but in its cold form. The trick to it is to brew in a French press. Keep the higher heat of about 150 so it can start extracting more like water and let steep for up to 20 minutes before depressing the plunger and pouring into your refrigeration vessel(I often use a mason jar). Add any sweeteners if desired while it's still warm and let completely cool in the refrigerator. It doesn't get bitter if using a medium to dark roast and tastes very good with any chocolate based breakfast items including over certain cereals.

"The right amount of beans."
*the sound of dying beans*
Ok but if you freeze the chocolate, then blend to a powder, it makes an amazing mocha. Or a frappe if that's your jam. It solidifies and makes the tiniest chocolate bits.
I'm new to this channel and, just wanted to say that your haircut looks so elegant on you 💫😭
Claire saffitz used milk to make a cold brew in a French press for ice cream and it looked amazing! Maybe you can try it
I didn’t know you had a UA-cam channel!!! I’m so glad I’ve found it 😍😍😍 I’m obsessed with your TikTok’s!!
There's actually a product similar to milk in a soap dispenser that I found a few years ago. It was a non dairy vanilla flavored liquid in a bottle that made it foam.
Philadelphia Native here. I love ReAnimator.. the staff is incredibly knowledgeable and nice. They are the main reason I got into specialty coffee.

3 hacks:
1 add tea to the coffee grounds then brew. It can give the effect of having a flavored creamer; syrup without the sweetness. My ratio is a guestimate 1 tsp tea to 1 Tbsp coffee grounds. Seasonal dark teas tend to work the best. Plus it round out and elongated the caffeine up take.
2 as an alternative to milk, you can add oats (quick) to the grounds, or add oat groats and grind with the coffee. Not the best hack, but better than using milk.
3 stovetop roasted oat groats make for a decent decaf experience. Aim for a medium color (~10-12 mins) over med heat. Non Teflon pan, stir, whisk continuous, allow to cool on a evenly spread out on a cookie sheet (~30 min)
i’m sorry but these are all so deeply cursed. you really live like this?
another fun hack from me: actual "milk frother" replacement most coffee drinkers will have on hand is a french press :D
Learning so much. Thanks!
Just found your channel! Love your presense on camera and the chill fun coffee content. Thank you for sharing this with us. ❤
Aaaaaa coffee with cinnamon!! A staple in my country, LOVE IT!!
On a binge of your videos even though I have no interest in coffee because I'm allergic but your energy has me hooked. Its good content 😊
MOAR MORGAN MAKES MY MORNING MAGICALLY MAGNIFICENT!!!!!
Same 😌
The cinnamon hack doesn't surprise me. Pre-ground spices are *never* as strong or flavorful as their whole/fresh counterparts.
OMG YOUR KITCHEN ARE SO PRETTY😍😍😍
Even watching you do terrible coffee hacks makes me crave a latte like crazy!!
When I visited an orphanage in India, they brewed Nescafé with fresh water buffalo milk and cane sugar. It was the MOST delicious coffee I had ever tasted!
hate to break it to you but you probably just like proper cane sugar (which is awesome)!
The chocolate bar one was something I thought of looong ago, so I’m SO glad you tried it!
Also, this wasn’t Morgan Drinks Coffee or even Morgan Spills Coffee, this was Morgan Does Weird things With Milk hehe
Morgan, you are the Hank Green of coffee.
As a barista of 11 years, I look up to you. CHEERS!
We have gone from Morgan spills coffee to Morgan trips herself up.

I ADORE your hair!
“1, 2, 3 strikes you’re out at the old ball game!!”
Fitting for this video 😂
Great vid Morgan!
I followed you on tiktok so long ago and I just now find out you have YT??? omg ?! love u
I love how clumsy you are, it reminds me of myself who are really clumsy too😅

I LOVEEE her hair! I’m obsessed for some reason 😅
I love your videos - in the midst of the constant negativity and criticism on UA-cam and other platforms, it’s so refreshing to see someone so positive, open-minded, and curious!
i just found your channel, but i know you from your tiktoks !!! so funny to see you from one year ago ahah
I’m almost tempted to try a milk brew in a French Press. The brew time and grind size might be able to make up for the lower temps and without the draw down, it should finish in a reasonable amount of time
I was curious I tried to brew with milk as cold brew, wasn't bad
I’ve done the chocolate trick, but with Lindt balls, which makes for a less messy experience. Definitely recommend it for a latte or a cappuccino more so than an espresso. Two enthusiastic thumbs up.
Yes! I live by a Lindt store and they have a coffee bar inside where you can pick which truffle you want and they mix it into your coffee drink. So, so good!
You should make catnip tea "latte" for adorable kitty cat
I like using the Ghirardelli chocolate squares when i make a choco espresso. The fruit flavored chocolate squares are delicious. And melt well and enhance the coffee when you want something sweet
I'd think a better way to fix 'coffee-flavored milk' would be to warm some milk in a saucepan and add instant coffee, just like you'd do for making hot cocoa, only with instant coffee instead of instant cocoa.
ok! that cursed milk brew type of life hack reminded me something my aunt used to do, which actually introduced me to the ground coffee thing, that was the way i tried it for the first time in my life. she would put a teaspoon of coffee in a cup (just general not small not big cup), fill it with milk approx 2/3, and microwave it for about 40-50 seconds, she'd look through the glass to control the microwave and stop it right as it tries to escape the cup, then she'd just drink. the ground coffee sinks well so she never used any filters. and as a 8yo kid i actually really liked it. i'd usually sweeten it a bit with sugar. slightly cursed, but a lot of memories and warm vibes for me
a cafe I go to serves their espresso with little chocolate covered spoons, so you can use it to melt and mix or eat it afterwards
also, there's a drink called amaro caldo. In a moka pot you put cinnamon, orange peel and campari on the water reservoir, fill with a bit more water and brew a coffee with it. Educated Barfly made a video on it, and it's pretty tasty
Love your style! Loving your hair cut
Hypothetically. Could you grind the cinnamon with the coffee beans and make an espresso? 🤔
I love the chocolate "hack" during the winter holiday season when chocolate candies (especially toffee or caramel flavors!) are usually around in abundance but I place the chocolate in the cup and add milk at the end.
make an avocado shake and then add an espresso shot!
Yes! I thought the same especially a traditional avocado smoothie with a spoon of condensed cream in lieu of milk

@@iamatitle5031 this is exactly what I was thinking of :). Glad to see someone on the same page as me lol
I already loved your vids on TikTok, I’m glad you popped up on my UA-cam recommended 😇
I appreciate the Happy Birthday Bossa Nova background music :)
Amazing coffee. Amazing video. ❤️
Lol! Thank goodness! I heard milk in a coffee maker and panicked
Thank you for the cursed brew 🤣

you saying “scooop’d” is just delightful
The sound effects for the ratings be giving me jump scare flash backs
The Morgan slide finally fell 🤣 I love it
amazed you didn't try "Double Coffee", where you use previously brewed coffee in the reservoir instead of water for a new pot of coffee
Been wondering about this for quite some time now, have you tried this and does it work?
"Thank you for letting me do this for you." ......No, all the thanks goes to you. Much appreciation for the stuff you do
Somehow my best friend and I knew you v differently when I'd asked her if she'd seen your videos, she knew you solely as a tiktoker
I love that honestly!
Same here with my daughter... she knows Morgan from Tiktok, which I don't use. She was actually surprised when I mentioned Morgan's name when talking about one of the videos because she didn't know I knew who MDC was.
Such a great video, do more episodes of this content pleaseeee
For the cinnamon hack, I only do pour-overs, so sometimes I will grind the cinnamon stick like how I do for beans then add it to the coffee grinds.
Omg it’s the first time I hear your voice and I have been watching you for months. Right now I’m having an out of body experience💀❤️
Adding a stick of cinnamon to coffee is one of those things I love when I visit (older) relatives who do it but wouldn't do it at home.
Lol you're funny and I enjoy your videos, they're entertaining
The jazz version of Take Me Out to the Ballgame caught me off guard in that last portion lol.
Haha omg, I was literally JUST thinking the same thing 😂 I love it!
First of your videos I've watched and now I'm already a subscriber! 👏🏻
In Brazil they make smoothies out of avocado (theirs are a different variety that are more sweet), so I bet if you made an avocado blended latte/Frappuccino, it would be good, since the avocado would be more incorporated.
And oh! I think I just found my new favourite UA-camr!
I've done "cowboy coffee" made with milk & cream and used it as an ice cream base 🍦
Your cat is adorable!
she’s literally the most entertaining barista ever🧍🏻♀️🧍🏻♀️
RIGHTTTTT
1. My inclination for the avocado one is to liquefy the avocado--perhaps with a small stick blender if you're only making 1 drink, and maybe in a blender or food processer otherwise. Of course you're going to get unappetizing chunks of avocado if you just lightly mash it; you'll get more creaminess and thickening if you grind it.
2. I think the soap dispenser would work better if it were a foaming soap dispenser (designed to foam the kind of liquid soap which is designed to be foamed) and the milk were warm. But I would be terrified that I'm not rinsing it well enough.
5. Would a cold brew with rather coarse coffee work?
