This "retro" technique still makes the best coffee

New British spelling will have nothing to do with those french letters. :stuck_out_tongue:

Basically the same for me and my wife. Tried a french press and like it, but went stainless steel after cracking two within a year.

There is (was?) a band called French Letters around here.

Our N=2, so may not be representative. My best guess, without advanced imaging and chemical analysis equipment, is that diterpenes don’t mix well with stomach acid and cause irritation.

Yes, Britain will ban them. They will also ban letters with diacritical marks as well.

While they are at it, McDonalds will be legally required to sell chips, not french fries.

This was a party election broadcast by Ukip.

Ahh, those assholes. Doesn’t surprise me in the slightest coming from that bunch of NF shitheads. :frowning2:

I’m not suggesting going out and punching a ukipper (unless anyone’s really got nothing better to do :imp: ) but I do reckon that anyone standing as a candidate for them should never be able to trust any coffee they haven’t prepared themselves.

Y’all are making me feel much better about the rate we go through them.

I disagree, the vacuum coffee pot is superior when it comes to brewing by immersion. There still is heat being applied during the brewing phase, and also vacuum pots do a better job at filtering the grit out.

Wait–for real? I don’t mean to come across as dense, it’s just that my satire-o-meter has taken a battering these past several months to the point that I’m having trouble recalibrating it.

No, but I’m not convinced that Nuttall wouldn’t try banning the phrase “french fries” if he thought it would get him enough votes.

Any odds on when he’ll be replaced as leader by Fromage?

Or Aaron Banks?

After the whole ‘freedom fries’ idiocy on this side of the pond, I wasn’t sure. Glad to hear it’s satire, at least for now.

That’s what makes a ‘french breakfast’ of coffee and cigarette…

Oh, and some tobacco crumbs from a filterless cigarette. Yum!

Ir wouldn’t be Coffee if someone didn’t go in to bat for Cold Brew. So stupid simple I’m not gonna try to explain it. Makes killer coffee. I like to brew it 24 hrs - tho 12 is good enough.
But it’s deep summer here and the shared fridge is way full, so no room for stuff that is not essential food or beer. And I can’t wait.
That’s why I turned to egg coffee… All of it - not just the whites - you’re not gonna eat it, so there is no point getting fancy shmantzy. Sound like too much trouble?
OK, I tried my last several batches without the egg… Way bitter.

I don’t think UKIP will allow McDonalds. It’s a bit too brash and modern.

Their perfect Britain is set on a village green bathed in warm summer sunshine, there are people playing cricket and picnic baskets and lashings of ginger beer; everyone is looking forward to the evening’s meeting at the church hall chaired by that lovely man Mr. Moseley who has some terribly clever things to say about foreigners.

I don’t think they approve of that kind of thing.

Lashings of Ginger Beer Time is a Queer Feminist Burlesque Collective. Combining songs, dancing, stand-up and sketches, luxe Victoriana drag with thigh-high fetish-boots, upbeat musical theatre optimism with 21st-century political rage, this is music hall for the internet age. Going back to the politically-charged roots of Burlesque, we aim to provide titillation for the brain by entertaining and challenging our audiences in equal measure.
