@DPotatoesOBrien @An_Seabhac agree 100%. For a year I used a $6 Amazon barista thermometer in a standard electric kettle. I got so used to it I could hear when it reached 165°. The fancy kettle was a total splurge but we’ll worth $60. It will reach a temp and hold it there.
@DPotatoesOBrien @An_Seabhac no other way to describe it. I make espresso strength in my #aeropress and sip it slow and smooth. I’m going for quality vs quantity these days. It’s also a very therapeutic routine of making coffee this way.
@Call_Me_Peppermint_Petty here's one in a queen cage I introduced a few years ago - you have to do it gradually so the hive accept her and don't attack her. #beekeeping
@Call_Me_Peppermint_Petty great question - there are commercial breeders that will raise new queens through grafting. All bee eggs are laid identical, it's how they are raised that makes them a drone, brood, or queen.
The Queen is dead! Not what a #beekeeper wants to find in a hive during inspection. But she lasted for almost five years! Time to re-queen the hive before winter hits. #beekeeping
@GaryPoole I look forward to reading it later. Might want to have the folks running the The Pulse website enable HTTPS!
@GaryPoole I love the Mad Priest brand, very cool.
@GaryPoole sounds great and supporting local is a must. My son, off at college now, worked for a local micro roaster here in town and got "schooled" on coffee - he quickly became a coffee nerd ;-)

Have a great day my friend!
Here's the one I bought @An_Seabhac - I love it. Amazing for teas too. https://amzn.to/3i5Iax8
The history of the AeroPress is a fascinating one @GaryPoole on an afterthought by it's inventor Alan Adler (inventor of the Aerobie disc). Here's his guide on how o make a perfect single cup. BTW - there are World competitions for #AeroPress brewing! #caffeineclub #coffeewar
OMG yes! @An_Seabhac I have hated bitter coffee for most of my life and couldn't bring myself to drink it nasty and black. But after dialing in my #AeroPress and using water at 160-dregrees (not boiling!!) I found that I could make silky smooth black coffee that was delicious. I splurged on an electronic kettle that gets temp precise. Changed #coffee for me!! #caffeineclub #coffeewar
Took me years @fpkthree (50+) to be able to drink black coffee. I've gone through high-end, badass, premium roasts and settled on Cafe Bustelo! Water 160 degrees, pressed through my #AeroPress and I have sweet pure blackness!!!
@Susandoyle 100% - I'm a better person to be round after my first hot cup!
Could I politely ask that if you're posting about #ElonMusk or #Twitter, you use hashtags.
It's obviously fine for you to have any discussion you like here, but some of us would prefer not to hear about the bird or its mad CEO! If you kindly use hashtags, we can filter the posts out and then everyone's happy.
Thanks. ❤️
Just gonna leave this here. https://youtu.be/z7l13A8Myck
