"For those who like Keurig machines--- this may be well known but I have not seen the observation here or elsewhere.. They can be used twice, and with the stronger brews like French Roast--- a half cup after that.
The first cup off a French Roast K cup is strong enough to put hair on my chest, the second just right, and the third might be a bit weak fr some but is acceptable to me." Miki, have you tried using the reusable K-pods? I like to do a pre-pour over and it seems to taste better when I do that. I just pour over about 5 or 6 tablespoons of water (I honestly don't measure, it's just a little bit). Then I put it into the machine and it just tastes better. Less bitter a lot of times too, depending on the brand of coffee I'm using. |

Yes I have those somewhere. Might have to get more. Fortunately I have an older one. Right after they came up with ones that rejected "non genuine" cups. Kind of like my printer but after I acknowledge the bitching it does, it prints.
Reusables are the best bet. Put the grounds in from a can of ground coffee and off-you-go. If I can't find the ones I had I'll just get more. ----------------------------------------------------- |

Mine are mostly baking-related (because of course!)
1. Tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice per cup of milk = buttermilk. Cause I always forget to buy it.... 2. Uncooked rice on the bottoms of a muffin tin helps pull grease away so you don't have soggy cupcake liners (and helps with the rise). 3. Quickest way to room temp butter (because I also always forget to take it out when I want to bake) is to microwave two cups of water in a microwave safe bowl/cup for two minutes, remove cup of water when it's done, then pop the butter (on a plate or in a bowl) into the microwave for ~10 minutes. Residual heat/steam helps it cool down faster. |
