Coffee, Caffeine, & Beans - a love story

[Music] [Music] oh [Music] what is up guys karma medic here and welcome back to another dose if you're new to the channel hi my name is nasser and i'm now a fourth year medical student studying at king's college london so why do i have all of these different tools and utensils in order to make coffee why invest so much money and time into making different types of coffee and honestly that's just because coffee is the best let me walk you guys through a full day of what coffee drinking looks like for me starting from the morning then the mid morning the afternoon the evening and then night time so first things first when i wake up in the morning i need a coffee and because it's still early in the morning i'm usually pretty tired i'm like groggy i don't want something that's going to be really harsh and just like jolt me awake i want to sort of ease into my day with a nice smooth cup of coffee and that's what this guy over here is for this is the nescafe dolce gusto capsule coffee maker my sister and i keep our coffee capsules over here right now we're drinking a lot of cappuccino coffees there's all kinds of different capsules that you can buy for different types of coffee like up here somewhere i think yeah we've got some americano capsules as well and you can get decaf coffees flat whites and everything else in between but me and my sister we found that these cappuccino capsules are the perfect fit for the morning coffee all right so i'm gonna get to work and make two cups of coffee and i will be with you in a sec all right there we go now you guys won't know this about me because i've never talked about it on the channel but i have a very serious aversion to phone you know how people hate the sound of like nails on a chalkboard or the sound of two pieces of cutlery grinding together that's exactly how i feel about the texture of foam in my mouth and that's why every morning when i make this cappuccino i use a little spoon to scoop off the foam from the top and get rid of it in the sink coffee delivery all right guys so that's the cappuccino all done with the next coffee that i want to talk about is french press coffee now this method of making coffee is an absolute game changer when it comes to making coffee for longer periods of time as you can see here this holds about one liter of water which equates to something like two two and a half to three cups of coffee so i can make this before i start studying in the morning and i can drink it continuously until the afternoon when it's lunch time the beautiful thing about this as well is that it takes very little effort to make all you need is some boiled water and ground coffee and it can make multiple cups of coffee at the same time now having ground coffee is great this is one of my favorites over here as you can see it's almost finished probably because i drink it every single day but what's even better than buying ground coffee is actually grinding that coffee yourself now don't get me wrong when i smell this it smells really good but there really is nothing like smelling freshly ground coffee that's when the coffee is the freshest that's when it tastes the best and yeah it's it's the best way to make coffee if you can so i've got two sets of coffee beans at the moment this one is a lot darker it's a lot heavier and stronger and since i'm gonna be having a ton of coffee today i'm gonna go with this one [Music] [Music] all right so after you've let the water absorb all that coffee you can press the french press down and your coffee is ready now about 19 95 of the time i like to have my coffee black so that's what i'm going to pour for myself but i'm going to call norand or her coffee how she wants i like it you like it wait would you still prefer with milk let me let me try it with some milk this is way more coffee than i normally drink yeah we're gonna have a lot of coffee today i'm gonna be buzzing all right this afternoon coffee is really important because it needs to be strong enough to wake me up from that slumber that i'm in post lunch and it also needs to be strong enough to last me throughout the next four hour period until 7 pm and that my friends is where arabic coffee comes in it is the strongest it is the densest it is the meanest of all of the coffees now because i'm jordanian and i'm making arabic coffee i have got that good good coffee straight from jordan now this stuff over here this is the good stuff every time i make my arabic coffee i kind of like freestyle it and i do things a little bit differently than the time before so i'm going to call my mom to make sure i get recipe right for this video um [Laughter] so before you actually add the coffee or the sugar you need the water to heat up a little bit otherwise the coffee is not going to dissolve as easily so we're going to do that now so yeah depending on how sweet you want it you can either add more or less sugar but i don't like it too sweet if i'm honest i prefer my coffee to be tasting like coffee like black coffee but without sugar i find this coffee impossible to drink it's so heavy and dense you'll see i'm gonna add the two coffees now there's two oh so there's one boil then you take it off and you let it go back down and rest then you put it down again you let it boil once more and that's it that's the arabic coffee done all right now i am by no means an arabic coffee expert but that's how i make it and that's how i like it [Music] all right now moving along swiftly to our next type of coffee we've got the mocha pot now this has very quickly become probably my favorite method of making coffee and that's simply because of how good it tastes the coffee that comes out of this mocha pot is very smooth it's not acidic at all and it's just a great black coffee that doesn't taste jarring or bitter or strong the only thing i don't like about the mocha pot is that it's a bit of a hassle to use you kind of have to unscrew it and then you have to fill this bottom portion with water then you place this on top you fill the coffee in here then you screw it back on and then you have to boil it for a specific amount of minutes so you kind of have to set a timer to come back turn it off you can't just leave it unattended like this after you've poured your boiling water into it so it's a little bit of a chore to make but i think it makes a superior tasting coffee so after you add the water you put the ground coffee into this little basket thing here all right and there we go so i've set a six minute timer and i'll catch up with you guys in a bit coffee's done boiling we also have special mugs for this mocha pop coffee wish me luck pouring this on camera and not making a mess [Music] wind [Music] it's stronger but is easier to drink i think it like tastes smoother for me all right we've got one more caffeine infused drink to make [Music] all right guys and that brings us to our final method of ingesting caffeine which is this like tea pot i think it's called a teapot basically every now and again nora and i will get sick of drinking coffee probably because we drink so much and so we need to switch to tea for a little while but the normal teas that you get at the supermarket this is my favorite one it tastes really good and it's nice to have at night but it definitely doesn't have as high of a caffeine content as i would like as i would need when i'm doing long days of studying and so for that purpose i have this now this tea is the good good of tea it's like it's still a strong red tea but it's not as intense as coffee it's nowhere near as strong as coffee but it still gives you that feeling of drinking something nice and warm that has caffeine in it the nice thing about this teapot is that you can put it on this grill great thing here that has two candles and you can light the candles which means it stays warm over very long periods of time so this is a really great solution if you want to have something to drink throughout the day for example if you're doing a really long study session all right got it [Music] the teapot has had time to brew it's that nice lovely red brown color and it is ready for the karma twins taste test tea time all right guys i think i'm gonna wrap it up here that is definitely the most caffeine that i've consumed in like a two hour period i've made an absolute mess of my kitchen we've got the coffee beans coffee grinder my unfinished tea that i just made tickers to make a pot tea pot beans filtered coffee coffee these empty mugs of coffee here cheeky little tripods in the window french press camera tripod and spare batteries my big track was sitting very precariously above the sink and then there's a bunch of empty coffee mugs from the video and then lastly my other channel is sitting over here so all right guys i'm gonna start cleaning this up there's definitely quite a bit of work to do here in the kitchen but hopefully you guys have enjoyed this video i know it's very different than the usual videos that i upload here on the channel but i've had a lot of fun doing it and i hope you have had fun watching it as well if you did enjoy this video please do leave a like on it and don't forget to subscribe to my channel to more content from me in the future and that is it i will see you guys in the next time peace so good i'm so so so good wow i genuinely feel like an energizer bunny right now just looking around i feel like i'm in a heightened state of awareness had a bit too much coffee for sure
