sorry, pal, I am waking up too late to do anything else, have to drive 30-35 min to the darned place.
I agree with the sentiment, though.
I will need to do a video for you.
It involves a Stanley Stainless steel 1 qt or 2 qt thermos.
Properly filtered water.
Perk the coffee.
Strain the perked coffee through a proper cotton clothe filter in to the thermos.
Then go to bed.
Wake up in the morning grab that thermos and pour a warm cup out. Storing coffee overnight will not degenerate flavor as you are not heating it.
The coffee will not be stupid hot have it that way or nuke in microwave a bit.say 30 to 60 seconds.
Never
Never
Never
Never use instant coffee.
My method allows no waste of time in the morning and you will look forward to drinking the thermos you made before bed.
BTW you can also make a damn good omlette at bedtime and nuke it for breakfast .
Last night I made a half pound of mushrooms a bell pepper an onion 6 jumbo eggs a small piece of steak (4oz) 2 oz of biltong jerky and some imported provolone cheese. As soon as if was down I place the closed frying pan in the oven on a silicone mat and went to bed. I woke up nuked my coffee and my eggs and was eating a hot breakfast in under 3 minutes nuke time. got in the car and drove to the mine.
WORKED MOST OF TODAY AND I AM STILL NOT VERY HUNGRY DUE TO THE MONSTER SIZE BREAKFAST I ATE.
Alright, alright, will try to follow, but you fellas take this 'issue' way too seriously plus my post was mostly about inflation, ha ha.
Everybody's taste sensations are different...honestly, my possibly "mutant" taste receptors do not distinguish instant coffee from the freshly brewed one and that's the truth.
I could distinguish latte from espresso, but that's about it.
Same, more or less for wines-went to "tastings" several times-all red wines taste more or less the same to me (with a slight variation).
When the 'expert' was talking about the "body" or the taste of wine being "bold" or "oaky" or "earthy" or something else, I usually nod, but inside I am saying something like "really?" to myself.
I can easily distinguish 'fruity' and 'non-fruity', but that's about it.
But, hey, this results in myself enjoying almost all merlot(s) and cabernet(s) above $15-20/bottle AND a grade of above 4.0 in the Wine app.
Cheers!
