That is my preferred breakfast. I prepare it the night before in a glass to allow the bottom layer tons of time to soften like you say but then I mix it all just before eating. I tend to use kefir since if I want fil I’ve gotta make it myself but as you say anything similar gets the job done.

If I was writing a fanfic sequel to the old testament I would call it the new testament and say that Judas was paid 30 silver.

It makes me think of how Mormons will point to such connections between the Book of Mormon and the Bible as proof. You’d expect such connections both if it was what the faithful narrative claims it to be or if it was a creation pulled from a hat that was attempting to reference what came before.

I like the taste of Malta fine but I find it super sweet. I imagine adding sweetened condensed milk doesn’t help that at all.

Honestly, I don’t. Because I make them better.

That is the situation in my household. My wife is one of those people who goes overboard on the primary filling and throws the proportions off. It isn’t Katz’s deli levels but it is noticeable.

I do it for every grinder. Minimal retention = less cleaning.

Yep. Those mornings I forget to introduce a bit of water I always kick myself because now I’m fussing with a brush for three times as long to get my manual grinder clean.

Meijer and Walmart store brands of cheap ass white bread are 22 slices, Kroger is 21, and for a name brand example Sunbeam is 22. Nicer bread like Pepperidge Farm or Brownberry/Oroweat tends to be in the range of 16 slices per loaf (baring the thin sliced stuff) though.

Indeed. I can grab a loaf of cheap white bread from my local grocery store for under $2 which is cut into 22 slices.

A mug warmer would work for my at home drinking which is my primary concern. I’ll have to keep it in mind as I never even considered it for a second.

I like the lid design. I’m seeing some people complain about the plastic threading wearing down on the lid but I can easily see that being user error (over torquing). Is that something you’ve had any issues with?

Thanks for suggesting Yeti. I think in my head I had it pegged as a coolers and cold drink tumblers company but it makes sense that insulation is insulation. I’m looking at the Rambler Mug and I imagine that thing would last forever as there really isn’t anything to have break on it compared to some of the more complex lid and gasket systems some travel mugs are using.

That’s a good idea that doesn’t cost and arm and a leg as you are right there are a ton of double walled mugs intended for camping. Or a thermal flask is like thinking to the insulated carafe someone else suggested but has the advantage of portability if I should ever want it.

Don’t worry about sounding like a shill, if you really like a product you tend to sound that way. I’ll be honest when I saw the Carter Move mug the wide opening with a splash guard instead of some narrow drinking hole caught my attention from a difficulty to clean and smell aspects. Price is the main thing that has held me back, though that is why I’m seeking the collective wisdom of c/coffee because anything over $25 and I start getting more deliberate with my purchases.

I like the look of the lid, the wider opening and the ability to disassemble it more than my Contigo looks like it’ll help with two my issues with my current mug. I think I’ll be throwing it onto the list to check for holiday sales.

I’m curious. What size bag is standard for specialty coffee in your neck of the woods? I can think of several reasonable sizes (250 g, 330 g, and 500 g) but haven’t the foggiest which or if it might be some idiosyncratic number arising from some tradition or other.

The tasting notes drew an audible, “Oooh.” from me. I’ll have to keep them in mind.

I ordered it online (linky). They have flate rate shipping in the US and sample sizes if you don’t want to commit to a full sized bag. They also have a few locations in Indianapolis (two coffee shops and the roastery itself) where you can buy bags too if you want to avoid shipping but I’ve never been to any of them.

I’ve actually tried the El Cocobolo and quite liked it though not as much as I did the Jorge Rojas. I guess I should post my thoughts on it.

I keep going back to Star Trek Online for some star ship pew pew. I usually get a month or two in going back over the story arcs and participating in events until the constant event schedule makes me realize I’m trapped in the grind and not playing any other games. So I drop it to break free and play the rest of my game library. The community isn’t something I really interact with as pretty much all of the game content is playable solo or antisocial (the team content is easy enough you can just random queue and don’t really have to talk or strategize with them). It is overwhelmingly PvE (though PvP is technically in the game) and it has some fun lore if you are a Star Trek fan.

I have not. I only recently go into coffee fancier than Peet’s with a cheap drip machine so the pool of what I have tried is basically just Tinker at this point.
