I'm not at all opposed to instant or other types. Sometimes when the budget doesn't allow for beans, there's a store brand of instant I'll use that's surprisingly decent.
Chemex is a type of pour over. What sets it apart from others is the filter you use with it and the way it drains. Most of the oils are removed during the process so it winds up bringing out more tea like qualities in the coffee. I tend to prefer retaining as much of the oils as possible and stick to using metal filters, so that's why it's a nice contrast. Oil can make a surprising difference in flavors. Plus it's really nice to look at. |
Oh hey, I own one of those. I didn't know it had a fancy name though. Ours just came from Target.. I bought it for my husband last year. Pour Over coffee is waaay better than regular coffee, that's for sure.
|
ooooh! my motherinlaw does that sometimes. she uses a very specific brown filter for it
|
hahaha, i wouldn't know if it is better. i cannot tolerate coffee XD
|
It is snowing really hard here and my internet keeps cutting in and out. If I accidentally double post just ritualistically sacrifice me.
|
i dunno, that icing looks like it's gone hard. the ritual sacrificing knife might not go through right
|
The Target one might be different, it's more bulbous? I'm not sure if it drains differently, I think the Chemex has a part that affects how it flows.
Can you mail some snow, please? |
Considering I only drink coffee when I have mixed it with cream and hot cocoa mix... I couldn't tell you if there is a taste difference anyway. I'm not even supposed to have caffiene. XD
We tried mailing snow once. We packed dry ice around it. It worked alright, but it was still not in great shape when it got where it was going. Generally it just ends up being a baggie of water in a slightly damp box. Darn... choco figured out my armor-icing trick. |
i'm greedy. getchur own snowy goodness!
https://external-content.duckduckgo....jpg&f=1&nofb=1 that is so naughty XD shame on you for partaking of the most legal of drugs, haha |
Uh... I don't think you're supposed to eat that. Pretty sure that's just foamy plastic stuff in a can.
cuz I'm a rebel. *casually sips a caffeinated drink, chokes a little, regrets life choices* |
hey, hey, i didn't say eat it i only suggested getting it x''D
for sure though people have said instant snow tends to smell like soiled diapers i could only imagine that as a redbull |
I honestly have no idea what fake snow would smell like. I can't imagine it to be good. Man-made decorative items rarely smell good. Heck, I can't even enjoy the smell of most candles because they are so strongly non-natural lab chemically.
The only artificial snow I have ever used was powdered sugar on winter-themed confections. Question though... the ski resorts around here will spray fine mists of water into the air when it is really cold to make more snow for their skiers. Does that count as real snow or not? I vote not, but it is rather heated debate around here. Jokes on you. I don't drink redbull. It tastes how I imagine artificial bull urine would taste. It was weak tea.... |
it's snow but like lab gems it's not natural or authentic. you are still free to enjoy it regardless though
|
I have tried downhill skiing exactly once. It turns out I have the coordination of a drunken giraffe and rolled down the hill more than I slid on the skis.
So yeah... just gonna stick to not doing that ever again. |
do a crouch but lean more back than forward? be a lump!
also your sig looks boring, you should make it fancier! |
Gimme a minute, I'm fighting with my interwebs.
I am okay with being bad at downhill skiing. It is not a skill I deem necessary to live a full and happy life. |
wrassle your modem like steve erwin?
|
I don't think that will help. The internet is just struggling to get here through all the snow. It is a long journey from space.
|
hhhm, well wrassling snow might not so. it's several trillion to one i suppose
|
Aliens
|
I'm from Brazil-il-il-il
|
do you think they'll come back for the other one?
i'm not-t-t-t-t! though, doesn't that mean it is spring where you live? |
I mean. I would. Rubber Duckies make bathtime so much fun. There's a song about it and everything.
Isn't it kind of always warm there? |
Yes it is always warm(in this region, the country is very big). This spring is hot like summer =/ IM DYING ALREADY
|
rip mdom @+@ i don't envy you at all, i've been waiting since march for the weather to be tolerable again
|
@ modm: <x'] The sun just bullies it's way back whenever it likes here as well. We have no spring. Just fire.
RN though, it's raining. o-o and it's cold...and snowing too in some areas...so weird to have a good change for a change. |
i'd be mad if there was no spring
|
<x} What's spring???
Is it thunderstorms or heavy wind? |
no, that is fall x'''D it's in the name!
|
Spring is pre summer with less rain
|
We actually have discernable seasons here. It's weird.
Like right now is Please Stop Snowing/ Ski Season Then comes Mud Season Then Oh darn it is snowing again Then second Mud Season Then Green Then Tourist Season Then Yellow/ Photographer Season / Bears keep eating our Trashcan Then Is it Seriously Already Snowing again? And it starts all over |
The weather here is in that fun phase where you feel like it's warm enough to keep it light with what to wear. But then the temperature will suddenly drop and regret not bringing something warm.
|
it's just wet and windy here with sometimes snow XD
|
we barely get snow in the UK. that's global warming for ya.
then again, the county i'm in is supposedly the driest one. |
I really can't complain about the snow. When we don't get enough of it we risk wildfires in the summer.
|
instead of saying the uk you should probably specify that you only mean england XD it's not so warm in other parts
i cannot complain because i like snow in general XD |
england is part of the UK.
|
i know, i also know it's not the only part of the uk and probably shouldn't be the sole representative of the whole lot, yeah?
of course if ol' bojo had his way it would be |
bojo can suck it.
i'm aware, but it's easier to say UK than it is to say 'england'. |
does anyone else feel like icecream? this even is starting to get to me XD
