We’ll never know how Marilyn Monroe’s figure would have held up over time, but that’s not the kind of Hourglass we’re talking about here, baby! We’re talking about the cold coffee brewing system that creates a smooth concentrate that you can use to make hot or cold coffee for up to two weeks afterward.
Or so they say! But can you, really? These are the big questions that only the crew at Seattle Coffee Gear are prepared to take on. We had Gail brew up a batch of the Hourglass coffee; she then tested it the next day for a baseline flavor assessment and then we followed it up 1 week and 2 weeks later to see how the flavor stood up.
Watch Gail as she takes one for science!
Thanks for doing the taste test. I can never make my Hourglass coffee last 2 weeks so you two really showed restraint! I usually have my Bean Kanteen empty in 3 days, 3 yummy days of coffee before I have to brew more.
Although with the (finally) nice weather I’m drinking a cup of hot in the morning and going in for a second serving with a little half and half and vanilla syrup over ice….double YUM!
That sounds delish, Sally! Yeah, I can’t imagine anyone would keep it up to the two weeks unless they went out of town at the last minute. I think getting through it in a few days is probably your best bet, flavor-wise
