[What's Your Current Go-To Coffee Rig?]

The longer you steep in your press, stronger the coffee. Just like tea bags in a cup. But you knew that. Solve over steeping issue by using a carafe. Press your coffee, steep desired time, grab a cup and pour the rest into a carafe. I use a simple steel thermos that I preheat with scalding water I've nuked while I make my coffee.

But after a while even that will go bitter. Have to realize, the darkness/strength of your brew is due to the amount of particulate matter in water. PPM. Parts Per Million. But only Howard Schultz dives into the nuts and bolts of coffee that deeply.🙃 Anyway, point is, that even if you pour into a carafe, the micro particles in your brew are still steeping.  Coffee beans consists of protiens/caffine, fats and acids amoungst other things. But those are what we're interested in. Ergo, stronger, fattier, and bitter coffee over time. Icing early would slow that process. But it wont be denied.

Now I'm purdy much off grid. Filtrated well water and ceptic with leach fields. No public water or sewer.. So I can't have grounds down my drain. I have to wipe out press with paper towel every time. Arg....

Be advised sir, my wife is a master gardener. Despite what you've heard, and I've heard it too, be sparing on coffee grounds as fertilizer. Something about naturally ocurring acids over time. Needs to be processed naturally. IDK exactly what she does, but she has a big garbage can with holes in the bottom with a catch basin under it. She puts all kinds of vegetable matter in it. Food and yard waste. With water and something else to help it all break down. Heat from the sun and time does the rest.

Also, the part about particulate matter and strength. Not that simple. Temps, grind, roast, time, and bean all have a play in what's extracted. Just didn't wanna get all Howard Schultzy on you. Guess I kinda did anyway. Sorry. But you get it. You've been in the bizz.

I really don't know all your backround. So pls excuse if I insulted your intelegence sir.

Is that wordy or what. Sheesh........,

I've seen all sorts of coffee making gadgets discussed here. As a person who appreciates a good cup of coffee, I decided to share the Coffeetek NEO Q which was a discovery for me. You will need space for it, but I'm sure it will be worth it.

We often sprinkle coffee grounds in the garden and have always been assured that it is beneficial. 🤨

Mora and Marcus

For me, poetry plays an important role in my life. I love reading prose, it inspires me and makes me write my own texts, but poetry is something for the soul. At https://artscolumbia.org/free-essays/poetry/ I read some research on poetry, especially Spanish and French, and its role in the development of world literature.

It's just incredible! Thanks for sharing this.
