Coffee Hacks With Mark/Foxie Moxie

yeah, just watch out for using it "fakie" style (brewing upside down, then pushing the piston up until the coffee reaches the top, then putting the filter cap on and quickly turning it over, and finally pushing the coffee thru the filter) that way supposedly more of the coffee oils make it through since they tend to concentrate at the top of the mess.

i've burned myself pretty badly a couple of times when trying to get the piston flush - its very hard to move at first and then reaches a point where it slides easily.

and yeah, as others have mentioned the product of the aeropress is more like an espresso shot and needs to be diluted as one would make an americano.

you can solve the microwave "overboiling" problem by putting a chopstick or a bamboo skewer in the water - that gives the water some irregularities so it can start boiling.

well you know, obviously its not about the contraband itself but the fact that something was smuggled in. if i were running a prison i'd be worried about that.

still its pretty ridiculous for them to get their panties in a bunch over some underwear!
