Sure. Have fun. Myself I can no longer imbibe. Why? Crushing headaches, stomach upset and other digestive issues. I did love every kind of coffee back in the day though. Shame.

Try cold brew. Easier on the stomach.

is there a small home kit way to do this?

All the ones in coffee shops i've seen involve an awful lot of tall glasswork...

You just need to buy a coffee sack or something similar to it and a big pitcher. 1 cup of ground coffee (coarse ground preferred but regular ground coffee works too) to 4 cups of water. Or 1:4 ratio of your preferred measurement vessel should work. The grounds go in the sack and then you put the sack into your pitcher with water. In about 18-24 hours, you can remove the sack and have a pitcher of cold brew coffee for the rest of the week.

EDIT: 18-24 hours refrigerated

I used to do it in my french press. Load up grounds and cold water, put in the fridge 24 hours, press down when ready to drink.

Yup, tried it. Was delicious. I've tried nearly everything. It's the caffeine. Some dark chocolate after noon messes up my bedtime by several hours. F-n sucks.

Decaf? :)

(I'm thinking of switching to some decaf myself.)
