I usually make doubles, but often split them to make a milk drink for my partner and have a single for myself. For some reason, those split singles tend to taste better. Same weight in, same time, same yield, just half the coffee.

Do I just like less coffee? Is it a temperature thing? Am I missing something here? Does anybody have a similar experience?

    Yes, I’ve been diagnosed with chronic GAS - Great Acquisition Syndrome.

    In all seriousness, for singles I use ceramic cups, but for doubles I use double-walled glass cups. Maybe I should try changing things up.

      Have you tried a double out of a ceramic cup?

      Even aside from the thermal properties, the cup material itself can have an impact on how the flavors come through.

        I did and it tasted better! This is so weird and interesting.

        I think the double-walled cups may be very good for some of the nice light roasts I like, but the darker roasts I’m driving these days may work better with a ceramic cup.

        Thanks for the suggestion.
