 Posted: Tue, Apr 18 2006, 11:16 am Post subject: Coffee has terrible, terrible taste and odor! |
| |
The last few years we have been getting the Pesach’dike instant coffee but I never liked it, and when our chometzike hot water urn died and the Pesach one became chometz, I got us a coffee machine at a much cheaper price, and I got us a box of Gevalia ground decaf and put it away for Pesach.
Well – the new coffee machine and filters are fine, but the coffee just smells and tastes so bad, I sent it back o the company (today), and got a tiny decaf (instant) to tide us over. I figure I’ll just run water through the coffee maker and use that, since I don’t think I’m leaving a fire on the stove for yomtov, just the oven on a timer.
Has anyone else had this experience?

| I get Gevalia shipped to me on a regular basis, love their coffee. Are you sure you used the right ratio of coffee to water?

| Yes, I tried it several times; it's not the first time I've used their coffee; just the first disaster!

| maybe it's not fresh. One year I got the bright idea of putting away an unopened jar of pesachdik coffee for the following year. Next year it tasted and smelled exactly like dust.

| Did you use the machine to brew coffee without running it with just water or water-and-vinegar first? Residue from the manufacturing process can contaminate your first batch if you don't do a blank run. (Also a good idea every now and then for maintenance.) For that matter, any utensil that comes into direct contact with food should be thoroughly washed before first use.
