Diner coffee tastes different due to the diner coffee sitting on a burner for hours on end which leads to either strong or weak coffee.
It can lead to a day old coffee taste that compromises on quality but is easily accessible.
Diners also most often use cheaper Robusta coffee beans instead of more expensive Arabica coffee beans which can affect the taste of the diner coffee.
Coffee is an anti inflammatory and can reduce inflammation in the body and protect against disease including heart disease when consumed in moderation and not in excess.
Too much coffee can be bad but when consumed in the proper quantities the coffee can benefit your health.
Coffee has antioxidants and other beneficial compounds that can, in small amounts, help reduce inflammation and other health conditions.
However while coffee is healthy the coffee can have negative effects if you drink too much each day.
The amount of coffee that is too much in one day is usually over 5 cups of coffee or more than 400 milligrams of coffee per day.
However some people are okay when they drink more than 5 cups of coffee a day so it can vary from person to person.
I drink sometimes 12 cups of coffee a day through the day and am okay and other days I only want to drink 5 cups or sometimes a few cups.
The grind of coffee affects the taste of coffee in the way it can extract the coffee and flavors.
When you brew your coffee with coffee grounds that are too coarse then the coffee can be weak or under extracted and not as flavorful.
When the coffee grounds are ground too fine then the coffee can be bitter tasting and over extracted.
The grind of coffee affects the extraction rate in that coarser coffee grind sizes require a longer extraction time because the particles of the ground coffee have a smaller surface area.
And by increasing the total brewing time of the coffee you have a better opportunity to extract a full range of the coffee's flavors and aromas.
And the finer you grind your coffee beans and the finer your coffee grounds are, the more you increase the exposed surface area of the grounds, resulting in faster extraction.
That's why the coffee for espresso machines is ground fine, since the water from an espresso maker passes very quickly at high pressure through the grounds.
The best way to store coffee is to store the coffee grounds or beans at room temperature in an airtight container.
Avoid clear containers that allow the light to compromise the taste of the coffee and keep the coffee beans or coffee grounds in a cool dry and dark location.
The general rule of thumb with coffee storage is to keep it away from light, heat, moisture, and air.
