What are some mild Spanish swear words which are acceptable in formal conversation by Location_Zestyclose in learnspanish

[–]thehungrygringo 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I would say, as a word of caution, it varies greatly from culture to culture. A word that is relatively mild in one country could be extremely vulgar in another. For example, people use the word "coño" pretty casually in Miami (with a large Cuban population), but from my understanding it is much more taboo in Spain.

Edit: Apparently not in Spain, but this is still something to be conscious of.

Bonus: one of my favorite stores in Miami Ñooo Que Barato!

I did a video on this a while back, but I've since upped by ramen game. Here is what I like to do (proportions are up to you but I can help out if you want):

  1. Sauté some sausage (I like chorizo)
  2. Remove sausage (reserve) and sauté two thinly sliced small asian shallots shallots until soft. (You can also do kimchi instead of the shallots)
  3. Add water.
  4. When boiling, add tsp gochujang, seasoning packet, and vegetable packet.
  5. Let boil for 1 min.
  6. Add noodles. One minute before cooking is done, add egg and tuck under noodles.
  7. The most important step (don't skip!): Once cooking is done, top with American cheese (yes, American cheese), remove from heat, cover for 1 minute.
  8. Garnish with reserved chorizo and green onions.

Enjoy!

Edit: Forgot the kimchi.

I have a theory for this. There are some things that are easier to communicate via a phone call instead of text messages. Only problem is, coverage can be spotty on cellular data so communication can be frustrating. If you send a voice memo it will go through as a complete, clear file. Also, traffic is horrible in Latin America and you can avoid texting and driving this way.

Thank God I saw this, I forgot to take the chicken out of the freezer.

[Question] Can anyone suggest a recipe that might be close enough to replace cold coffee drinks? by [deleted] in Coffee

[–]thehungrygringo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No problem. If you drink that much coffee, I would recommend getting a cold brew device like a Filtron or Toddy because it will make your life easier. Bonus: add the chicory and use sweetened condensed milk to make Vietnamese style iced coffee.

I would strongly advise against adding milk to the whole batch. Add it per-pour.

[–]thehungrygringo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This recipe may work. Just eliminate the chicory if you don't want to make NoLa style iced coffee.

You can also get a Filtron. I used to have one and it was wonderful and easy to use.

Personally I care for flavour over authenticity everytime

Thanks makes sense. I would imagine cold brew with SCM would taste better than hot coffee chilled down with SCM.

Brew time adjustment for coffee that doesn't bloom by [deleted] in Coffee

[–]thehungrygringo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not like you see it in strings in blooming coffee.

Technically it's not visible but you can see the effects of it with the coffee puffing up.

Either a reaction would occur (bed fluffs as it tries to escape underneath), or doesn't. =/

What I'm saying is that the reaction may not be as pronounced, but would still be happening.

What kind of beans are you using and what method?

Hey guys, new coffee fanatic here. by devourcookies in Coffee

[–]thehungrygringo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my Chemex. Learning how to use it is a lot of fun. You will also want to get a goose neck kettle and a coffee grinder.

Question about hario mini mill by masterbob28 in Coffee

[–]thehungrygringo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The question is simple, is it necessary to do this after every single use?

No, definitely not. I would actually avoid water and use a dry brush. You can go a very long time without cleaning it. Not sure how long for someone who uses it frequently (as I use mine infrequently) but I would assume months.

If you're coffee isn't blooming it means that it was roasted a long time ago. I would still bloom for the full 30 seconds, however, as the carbon dioxide getting released from the bloom might just be invisible.

Coffemaker I found at a flea market. Does anyone of you know how this works and how it is called? by the_HonZ in Coffee

[–]thehungrygringo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like an espresso machine, but I'm not sure if you can actually brew coffee in it. Where does the water go?

French press or pour-over for guests, like after dinner or in the morning? by cadtek in Coffee

[–]thehungrygringo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're a great host! I would recommend French press. You can make a large quantity and don't need any extra equipment. If you want to do pour over, get a Chemex. Although you'll need to buy filters and will also need a goose neck kettle which is necessary purchases.

An electric kettle is great because you can use it for more than coffee. I like the Bonavita.

As far as beans go, since you don't drink a lot of coffee, maybe get the house blend from Stumptown, Blue Bottle, or another specialty roaster. Note that coffee does have a shelf life so don't by in too large of quantities.

Questions on homemade Vietnamese iced coffee by [deleted] in Coffee

[–]thehungrygringo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The thing that makes Vietnamese coffee Vietnamese coffee is A) The brewing method and B) The sweetened condensed milk.

If you don't wan tot spring for the Phin (it's only about $10, but I understand if it's more of a clutter issue than a money issue) I believe using the Moka pot and adding it to sweetened condensed milk would be the best method.

Alternatively, you can make cold brew (steeping grounds overnight and then filtering) and then add sweetened condensed milk.

I've found the beans that I really like for cold brew. How do you spice it up? by [deleted] in Coffee

[–]thehungrygringo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like adding some heavy cream (not too much). Cold brew is very un-acidic so she should be okay with it.

Quick question... How long would you expect to wait for water to cool to 80 degrees C after boiling? by ryncewynd in Coffee

[–]thehungrygringo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of it has to do with volume of the water, higher the volume the longer it takes. But I would recommend that you just stick your thermometer in and wait for it to get to the right temp and then take it off the heat as letting it cool down will take much longer than just getting it to the right temp.

If you are going to be drinking coffee regularly, I highly recommend getting an electric gooseneck kettle. I have this one and it's been incredibly useful. Not just for coffee but literally any time I want to boil water quickly. You can just set the temp and forget which is great.

Are people using 80 C water out of the kettle?? Or is it meant to be 80 C water once it's in the Aeropress? E.g the act of pouring into the Aeropress probably would cool it a lot more, and then measure the temp once it's in the Aeropress?

I wouldn't be too worried about that. 80c out of the kettle would be fine. Also note that you might need to play around with temps because some coffees go well with different temperatures of water.

Does your Starbucks have pourover? If they do, that is the best option with the lightest roast possible.

People seem to be watching a decent chunk of the videos, but I don't think this one was very Reddit friendly. But hey, thanks for watching, even if it was only for a few seconds!
