I'm a convert to cold pot coffee and have been experimenting with length of time to cold brew. I just came home after a 6 day trip to decant a brew I made before I left only to find what appears to be mold in the beans lying atop the water. Is the brew drinkable after I pour it through a filter?
Is it true that the more you roast beans the less the caffeine content as the roasting process breaks down caffeine?
I always understood roasting was to enhance the flavour of the coffee.
I can't do the caffeine thing anymore because even if I miss a small amount - like a coke for lunch - I have withdrawal symtoms like headache, vomiting, lethargy. Its horrible! I have gone clean for about a week at a time, then start up again because I really miss the boost midafternoon. I have heard that yerba mate's chemical composition of caffeine is different enough that you can get the boost of caffeine without the withdrawal problem. Anyone have any thoughts/experience with yerba mate?
