... in response to Coffee question for the married types., posted by BrianN on Jun 6, 2002They say that the fine grind type is supposed to be more healthy. I tend to believe them when I look at the dry big grind instant coffee. Fresh coffee is big. My wife loves to grind her own coffee in the shop.
Coffee seems to be a big part of their culture. Many young people like to visit coffee houses. An interesting observation is how much smaller the cups are there. They use expresso size for all the different coffees. Kind of makes you think about how western people need bigger and bigger portions of everything to be satisfied.
I've gotten used to the crud, while my wife tends to be more infavour of the filter now. So, everyone that worry about culture collision, there's hope. At the end you'll be more Russian than your wife, and she'll be more western than you (Now there's a scary thought, hide your CCs, hehe).
