Has anybody seen or worked with this type of coffee making?
(i will fiddle around my home lab and make some trials)

Hi,

Coincidentally, I had a cup recently that was brewed in a similar fashion. It was quite mild, and can easily be a good choice for people with a sensitive stomach or who just prefer a mild brew. I've had coffee this way several times over the years, and don't care for it all that much except when specifically in the mood for it. Generally I prefer stronger brews and use a Bodum French press.
