Why coffee tastes better in Europe?
OK, I asked that question before, but I neglected to mention that the coffee I drank in Germany 4 days prior to drinking it here in California, was with filtered water. Then I tried it with bottled water. It still tasted as bad as Starbucks coffee. Maybe Starbucks coffee is from coffee stored too long.
I kept the German coffee in it;s original vacuum package, opening it and loved the flavour. (Germany requires that the packaging date has to show on the container) Taking that batch with me to California, and brewed it here, with FILTERED or BOTTLELED water. It tasted as awful as Starbucks coffee. Maybe Americans don’t know how real coffee taste like ???
So bringing the same batch, date, and brand coffee with you from Germany doesn’t make it taste better here. Why? Again.
There are a few possible answers for this one.
1. The water.
2. The coffee beans themselves. American coffee is a lot more processed than coffees in other countries are and that really affects the flavour.
3. The coffee making process itself. The drip coffee makers that Americans are so fond of are not used all over the world. Many places use coffee presses and other forms of coffee makers and that also makes a big difference in the flavour of coffee.
