Good coffee for a weak cup?
Any ideas on a blend that would deliver a decent cup of coffee after being cut by hot water? Folks around here are used to nearly transparent coffee so I have been kicking around the idea of having a kind of starter coffee for the old-folks set in their ways. The characteristics I am looking for in a blend are that after proper brewing and then doubling the volume with hot water, the finished cup will still have some complexity, and body.
Any thoughts? How do you make the world of specialty coffee accessible to the weak and over extracted brew crowd?

Sounds to me like you need to give them "Americano". Americano- shot of espresso and water, usually go over well and you can add flavors to them to recreate their favorite flavored coffee (YUCK) Let me know how this works for you.

What do you think of over watering an Americano. A good strong americano is my drink of choice, but much to powerful for the coffee klatch crowd.

Exactly! If your espresso is a good drinking espresso like Counter Cultures Aficionado adding water to it will be wonderful and can normally pull the foldgers coffee drinker over to espresso world.
