coffee poolish

Been a while since I have bothered to record my experiments but this one needs a bit of space/time because it is quite tasty.

All of the moisture in this bread is dark-ish coffee. I was completely experimenting with the amounts based on what others have said and almost hit perfect 1st time out.

Wife thinks this is awesome as is, I think it needs a bit more coffee and am going to try instant next time so I can get the "right" amount
