Enjoy the warm weather, my friend. We're cooling off again this weekend.Good morning, coffee aficionados.
I repeated what I did yesterday... and waited the extra 5 minutes while I emptied and put away the dishes from the dishwasher. So a total of 9 minutes for the French Press.. Gentle pressing until the grounds touch the bottom of the Bodum French Press.
I did time the manual coffee grinding.... two fills of the KINGrinder K-1 along with the grinding took 3 minutes.
I also scooped off the foam right around the 4 minute mark.
All in all, I think this optimized the taste for me. I'm still using 185F filtered water. Lovely taste.
I have a hair cut at 1:30PM... I'll row when I get home... then shave. Should be a nice day. We're headed up to 72F today... 80F tomorrow... then cooling back into the 60s for daytime temperatures until the middle of next week.
Not in my book, I would have one up until 4:30 myself!Is 2:30pm too late for an americano? We find out tonight!
If I drink it late in the day, I'm up all night.I guess I’m just caffeine insensitive (or my tolerance is way too high). I’ll drink coffee whenever the urge strikes - my wife and I routinely drink it around 10 pm while we watch tv and it never bothers our sleep. I can also go without any for a day with no effects I’ve noticed.
Yes sir. I was just looking at the forecast to find a gap in the rain to take my son to practice. The life of a golf dad.@rudygu It looks like you're getting that rain now, Trevor.
When we get to Michigan, I'm picking up some Don Julio Reposado to make the "Kim Margaritas"March is continuing to be an odd weather month here in Florida..... Daytime highs in the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s. Pretty good chance of rain today... high around 72 or so.
Since I started leaving my French Press for a total of 9 minutes now, instead of 4 and not pushing the plunger to the floorboard, the coffee was a too mild for me. I added 3 grams this morning.. so 43 grams for the 34 ounce French Press. It's quite nice.
Don Pablo's Signature blend... as always.
And of course, Happy St. Patrick's Day to one and all.
