Well it's finished and right on schedule, 7 days exactly. It taste great! Like tea with the essence of coffee.

Why ferment coffee? Probiotics!

"Surprising Benefits of Probiotics"

"Whether it’s an apple a day or a cup of probiotic-rich kefir, if you feel healthier when you eat it, keep it up. Pay attention to your body and to emerging research on new and natural ways to stay healthy."

A healthy gut biome isn't just for making your body feel good. Science is coming out linking your gut to your brain.

Keep that healthy and your head will follow.

Think Twice: How the Gut's "Second Brain" Influences Mood and Well-Being

"Cutting-edge research is currently investigating how the second brain mediates the body's immune response; after all, at least 70 percent of our immune system is aimed at the gut to expel and kill foreign invaders."

The gut-brain connection Connection, Mental Illness, and Disease

"How can we affect the gut microbiome and the immune system? Changing the diet will have immediate effects, with folks who eat highly refined diets having a different gut composition than those who eat more whole foods, fruits and vegetables. We can also take probiotics, though the research is preliminary, and probiotics only help temporarily (that is, as long as you take them)."

I tried this - I ended up adding more sugar after the first week then leaving it brew for a second week then refrigerating. Maybe I brewed the coffee too strong? Just tastes like slightly sour cold coffee. And I don't really like cold coffee anyway. I'm gonna keep drinking the cup I poured and see if it grows on me but I LOVE the kombucha I make and not so much this...
