TIL that coffee is brewed around 190 and that no work for boil orders specifying 212. No coffee for me. sadface

Man, fuck Portland.
ReplyDeleteWell, I could have had it at Kenn's place, but I would have had to be PAYING ATTENTION. He wisely chose to live where they treat the water.
ReplyDeleteWell that is unacceptable.
ReplyDeleteA Portland coffeeshop with a ginormous kettle and an array of French presses could make a KILLING this weekend.
ReplyDelete(That said, E. coli is killed at 160F. I think the "boiling" recommendation is mostly because it's obvious and visible, and doesn't require anyone have a thermometer.)
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's not like you have to bring chicken breasts up to an internal temperature of 212.
ReplyDeleteStumptown closed rather than try to deal. Guessing nobody wants to deal with a lawsuit if someone gets sick, so all are sticking on the 212 official thingy.
ReplyDeleteLetting it boil and then cool down 20-25 degrees F shouldn't be that hard either.
ReplyDeleteJasper Janssen ...hence my comment about the French Press. But most coffeeshops have, y'know, a COFFEEMAKER. Which heats the water to 190 and is not tweakable.
