@caesar-salad saidYou had me right up to the ice.
I ... uh ... um ... er ... well, that's quite something, isn't it?
Thank goodness you had the foresight to wear a mask! 😉
This summer I have been grinding up some Premium (and locally roasted) beans, heating up 500 ml of water in the microwave in a Pyrex measuring cup, putting the ground beans into the hot water, letting it sit for a few minutes, then pouring it ...[text shortened]... r that has seven or eight ice cubes in it, then adding sugar and half-and-half. So much for purism!
Cold diluted coffee is evil.

@suzianne saidNoted, but the brew is pretty strong before it goes over the ice. I would, however, object if the ice cubes had picked up a fishy smell while in the freezer.

As for weekend meetings: you have my sympathies. I have somehow managed to free myself from the artificial time grid and the impositions of the workplace by drifting into retirement.
@caesar-salad saidWell, maybe not actually evil, but I had to stay with the dualism nature of the thread.

And I've often heard retirees referred to as 'escapees'. Hope you have the means to spend your time as you've always hoped you would.

Put the coffee in the French press put in fridge for 12 hours or longer, squeeze out the coffee, over ice add what you will. NICE!
If you have never drank coffee out of a French press hot or cold, YOUR MISSING something.
How to use, looked it up for you incase.

@kellyjay saidThanks, KJ. Actually I do have a French press, but I got tired of cleaning it. With the little sieve I can just knock the grounds into the trash, give it a rinse (the sieve, not the trash), and I'm done.

I do appreciate the tips, though. Maybe I will give that a try this summer if I ever clean out my fridge (I'm back to working from the front layer of jars after having cleared it out last year).
@caesar-salad saidI agree, love the coffee but hate cleaning it.

@caesar-salad saidYour acknowledgement speaks for itself.
So, how is your post an example of not speaking for me? 😉
Speaking for you was not the purpose of my post.
It's not like I was delivering information you had not already chosen to communicate.
@ghost-of-a-duke saidMy avatar is a TEA pot.
And yet your avatar is a pot of coffee.
No coincidences in this thread.
