Folgers is great stuff for the price. Pretty sure it’s been compared to Trilene Big Game on here in the past ?

I like a good cold green tea hint of sugar and lemon

I like green also. Ginseng as well. There’s some you can buy in stores but it does not compare to what you can get in a good authentic Korean restaurant. If it is Korean made, it typically knocks my socks off. Food included

I’ll give that a try. Not opposed to dark roasts

Most people don't like Cajun coffee because they say it to strong & bitter. When they make it the use the same amount as their coffee.

 

I use an 1/8 cup measuring scoop in a 4 cup coffee pot but I fill the pot to the brim. So it's probably 5 cups.

That's weak coffee, pal - I use a 1/4 cup scoop, little over 2 scoops for a 12 cup pot

Geez.  In making a 2oz coffee I used 1/8 cup of grounds, but to be fair I make each coffee independently and regularly drink them as a cappuccino with 2 oz of milk as well.

I like cowboy coffee . Shovel coffee grounds in the stainless pot , add water and bring to a boil. Yowsahs ! Just got to remember not to drink that last 1/4 of an inch off the bottom.

Ya, when I had my espresso maker - that's about what I used.

This is about tea stay on topic?. Things I learned about sweet tea when I lived in Florida.

 

1.  You can’t buy pre bottled sweet tea. It has to be homemade.

2.  If it doesn’t leave a sugar ring around your lips, it’s not sweet enough.

3.  Sweet tea recipes are family secrets.
4.  There’s no way you can add enough sugar to regular tea to make it sweet tea.   ??

If ya gotta use that much coffee grounds that's pretty weak coffee.

I like coffee that bites back.

I'm not much of a tea drinker.  I always enjoyed sweet tea when I was in college in NW Tennessee.  Today the only sweet tea I drink is Firefly, on the rocks.  Coffee, I have to drink decaffeinated for medical reasons.  I started grinding my own beans, and mixing my own blend.  Main ingredients are Decaf Expresso, Dark French Roast and Italian Roast,  mixed with some Eight O'Clock coffee beans.  I don't really measure the beans, I just fill my grinder.  Usually I make 8 to 10 cups according to the carafe.  That works out to two cups of coffee for me.  I don't want to be able to see through my coffee.

I know people who make it so sweet you have to chew it. ?
