EP:157 What You Don't Know About Bustelo Could Change Your Morning Routine
We explore surprising uses for coffee grounds, debunk common coffee myths, and share expert brewing techniques to elevate your daily cup. Our conversation reveals how coffee science impacts everything from construction to kitchen hacks, with special attention to flavor enhancement methods you've likely never tried.
• Coffee grounds are being used to strengthen concrete in construction applications
• Used coffee grounds can help clear sink drains naturally, but shouldn't be used with garbage disposals
• Café Bustelo isn't as strong as its reputation suggests—it's actually a medium roast with fine, "muddy" grounds
• The ideal coffee-to-water ratio is three teaspoons per two ounces of water for optimal strength
• Adding just 4-6 salt crystals to coffee enhances flavor without tasting salty—works for spirits too
• Decaffeinated coffee offers flavor enjoyment without the health impacts of caffeine

You are listening to the Double A Club and this is your host, ny Boom, and my co-host, big Daz. We'll be talking about trending topics in healthcare and basically, just as a disclaimer just to let the listeners know that this is just basically on our opinions and speculations and I hope you guys enjoy the show. Let's start off and kick off with our first topic.
Speaker 2:Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo Yo, what's up, what's up.
Speaker 3:How's it going? Very good, very good. I'm here drinking my coffee. I know you're probably there drinking yours. No, I'm still making mine coffee. I know you're probably there drinking yours, I'm still making mine. Oh, you are. Yeah, you know I read this article that, um, they use they're starting to use coffee grounds to strengthen the hardness of concrete.
Speaker 2:Oh, wow.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it was super interesting. I was like, wow, they just, you know, they're creating or figuring out ways to harden concrete and they found out that coffee grounds not coffee beans, coffee grounds strengthens it up Now you know I'm going to and strengthens it up now you know I'm gonna read more into it to give you more information.
Speaker 2:But yeah, that's just something I just saw with coffee and I mean, I've used coffee for the other thing I know I'm just coffee for, besides making coffee is I use it for, like my swing train. You like when you done you like my sink drain. You're like when you done your sink, my sink drain. Oh, like, let's say, let's say you don't have coffee, you use the major coffee, take your coffee grain and you dump it into the sink and drain and let it sit in there and it makes it clear, it clears it out, actually, really. Yeah, it clears it out, actually, really. Yeah, it clears it out, because once you wash it down, once you use the sink, it takes whatever it grabs and grabs it with it and it goes down.
Speaker 3:Because if you have a dispenser, coffee grounds is not good for you Because it clogs up the motor Um a dispenser coffee grounds is not good for you.
Speaker 2:Because it clogs up the motor and it'll stop the dispenser from working A dispenser, what do you mean?
Speaker 3:a dispenser? What kind of, you know, like a food dispenser, like some things have food dispensers you know, like where you put food and the dispenser would just eat up all that food and just shove it down. Yeah, you can't do coffee, coffee grounds on that, because it gets stuck in the gears and it won't allow them up yeah, but I'm in new york. I don't have that, so I'm just saying I'm in, I'm in sparta, I have one, I'm talking about fucking over here where we don't have that.
Speaker 2:I'm just saying I'm in Florida, I have one. I'm talking about fucking over here where we don't get those luxury things over here.
Speaker 3:Actually I got you. I also seen a thing where you put baking soda down your drain and then add vinegar to it and then close the drain. It pushes everything out, because I guess it does like an explosive reaction the vinegar and the baking soda and it pushes everything down. It literally flushes your drain out ok but yes. But you know, since I've been drinking coffee, I don't drink Gustelo anymore.
Speaker 2:You'd be surprised, I know wow, you used to fight for Gustelo yeah, I don't drink it anymore.
Speaker 3:I found out through research. It's really not that strong of a coffee and it's not that good and it's quite muddy, muddy. Yeah, it's like it's like, it's like it's muddy. It doesn't let the water run through Very well To get that, that great coffee taste. You know what I'm saying? Okay, I gotcha run through very well to get that great coffee taste.
Speaker 2:Okay, I got you.
Speaker 3:A lot of people like to grind their coffee beans but it's already grinded, but it's too grinded, it's too molida, it binds very well and it doesn't allow the water to go through as easily as other coffee grounds would. So I don't buy it anymore because of that. And I noticed that it makes the coffee very muddy. It comes out like mud almost in a way. It's a lot thicker than it should be. Got like mud, almost in a way it's a lot thicker than it should be. And also, you know, everybody has this misconception that Bustelo's strong as coffee and it's not.
Speaker 2:Well, I thought it was stronger than fucking American coffee.
Speaker 3:No, it's not.
Speaker 2:It's not stronger than American coffee.
Speaker 3:No, it's not, it depends. Here's the thing. American coffee no, it's not, it depends. Here's the thing it depends. It depends on the ropes.
Speaker 2:See, boost ello is a medium roast off Right but I mean dark blue All right, but I'm sorry.
Speaker 3:It's in the middle, so it's caffeine per milligrams is not that high. If you get an American coffee that's medium roast, it's the same thing as Bustelo you know I have. I get American-grown coffee. I usually get like this coffee company called black rifle, or I get um I'll get like eight o'clock which has a dark roast, and those are stronger than boost animal okay, so dark roast is stronger dark roast is way stronger.
Speaker 3:And and then the other thing is a lot of people when they make their coffee like, say, for example, you're making it on a coffee is a lot of people. When they make their coffee like, say, for example, you're making it on a coffee machine or everything a lot of people put way too much water in coffee grounds. You really should be putting two, wait, three teaspoons. Three teaspoons, not tablespoons, three teaspoons for every two ounces of water. Okay, what is that? Like half a cup? Yeah, literally like half a cup. We got three scoops for a half a cup, but you're gonna do one whole American cup of six ounces. You need six, six, six scoops of coffee and it has to be exactly six ounces of water that you put in through it, because if you put six ounces of water, what you get in the coffee is not going to be six ounces. It might be four and a half, maybe close to five Okay.
Speaker 3:That's how you get strong coffee.
Speaker 2:Mmm, good to know. And then here's the last thing I like to you get strong coffee Mmm, good to know.
Speaker 3:And then here's the last thing I like to do with my coffee. I add a sprinkle of salt.
Speaker 2:Salt.
Speaker 3:Yes, and what I mean by a sprinkle is I literally add only like four to six crystals. I don't do anything more than that. It's literally like you don't even see the salt.
Speaker 2:Oh, wow.
Speaker 3:You put it in there I'm missing. You mix it in with your coffee, with the, with the sugar and cream and everything. What it does is that it Enhances the flavors inside the coffee, so you get a better coffee experience a better coffee experience that I could actually see, because to me that's what salt is.
Speaker 2:To me, salt is an enhancer to flavor.
Speaker 3:Yes, it is. That's why I say don't put too much coffee. You just want to put four grains, four or five grains inside the coffee.
Speaker 2:You mean salt?
Speaker 3:The grains. You're not salt. You're not salt in. Soften it up like you would like a meat or something you just yeah it's like three, four or five crystals. So listen there, I'll pop up like that and that's it. We'll need no more. You know it should. It shouldn't even be like it should be like. It should be like a micro teaspoon.
Speaker 2:I got you. Yeah, I get it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, very little and just enough. That gives you a different cost. And also you could do that with alcohol, for example. You're drinking rum, bourbon, do the same thing. A little dash of salt, bro. That shit elevates the alcohol.
Speaker 2:I'm gonna actually try that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, try it, try it. What's your coffee, since you're making it Right now. I'm drinking that Death Wish.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, you know I don't drink coffee. I drink coffee for the way it makes my stomach feel.
Speaker 3:Oh, that's good, because I mean sometimes I drink coffee because I like the way it makes my stomach feel too, especially when I go.
Speaker 2:Well, actually it doesn't make me go anymore, like it just settles me, like it, like I really drink, because I drink decaf, I don't drink regular coffee.
Speaker 3:Oh, okay, so then that's fine. Then all this strong coffee that I've been talking about doesn't apply to you, because you drink that fucking water shit.
Speaker 2:Okay, strong coffee that I've been talking about doesn't apply to you because you drink that fucking water shit. Okay, fuck you. I got high blood pressure.
Speaker 3:I can't fucking drink regular coffee like y'all motherfuckers. I'll give you all these fucking secrets and you're fucking decaffeinated. Okay, fine, but try with decaffeinated. It might help with the flavor. You know what?
Speaker 2:I'm saying yeah, that's all you were saying, that's all you were talking about. Yeah, I know I'm fucking with you. I know, I know I wish I could drink regular coffee. That's just fucking pissing me off, man. Nah, nah I can't get rid of the flavor of coffee, so I drink decaf.
Speaker 3:You don't need regular coffee. To be honest with you, there's too many people who are addicted to the coffee. They become addicted to coffee and they get headaches and stuff like that and they have to drink coffee. No, that was me that was me and.
Speaker 2:I wasn't getting the headache because I'm sorry. I wasn't getting the headache because, fucking, I needed the coffee. I was getting the headache because my blood pressure was retarded. Oh, okay, and that's from the coffee, right, yeah, coffee was one of the main reasons I did that to me because I was drinking so much of it, Like I drink a lot of coffee.
Speaker 3:Oh, that's different. I don't drink that much coffee.
Speaker 2:I drink one cup a day and that's it, I'm done. Nah, I can drink two, three bars a day.
Speaker 3:Nah, I can do that with my alcohol, but not with coffee.
Speaker 2:Nah, I drink coffee like that. That's why. That's why I also started, because I caught a stroke. So I was like, yeah, I can't do that no more, so I drink decaf. Yes, I drink decaf for health reasons.
Speaker 3:Hey, listen, I did look up some research for healthier coffee because I was interested in it. We're going to talk about that. Maybe you'll get something out of that where they'll help you with your coffee taste so it doesn't affect you health-wise. Yeah, that'd be great your coffee's taste, so it doesn't affect you health-wise Okay.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that'd be great.
