\"coffee<\/a><\/center>Here in the Pacific Northwest, we take our coffee quite seriously. People really, really like their coffee. I myself am very fond of coffee. I wouldn’t say I am fanatical or super snotty about it, but I do view non-coffee drinkers with a bit of suspicion* (but I don’t discriminate. Some of my best friends don’t drink coffee. They’re weird, though.)
\n
\"coffee<\/a><\/center>Anyway, the reason I bring up the whole coffee thing is because I was thinking about the single-cup drip-filter method (which Peter uses and which I employ for decaf) and how it is super delicious but oh! I use a plastic filter, and isn’t it bad to heat up plastic? I don’t really know, but I decided having a non-plastic filter might be a better way to go. It’s actually not that easy to find ceramic filter cones, and it is impossible to find them with a single drip hole. After years of experimentation, we have determined that more than one hole means the coffee drips too quickly, and you end up with watery, icky coffee. Melitta is the safe brand to go with, since they seem to push the single hole, but they make the plastic cones. I found this very cute ceramic filter cone (by Beehouse! I love Beehouse! They make very cute teapots) at Sweet Maria’s<\/a>.
\n
\"coffee<\/a><\/center>The problem is it has two holes (actually, this wasn’t a problem for me, since I am a careful and deliberate pourer, but Peter is a dump and run kind of guy. He made some snide remark about not having time to gently spritz the coffee grounds with water). But, there is a remedy. Peter went to the trusty hardware store and got a little cork plug, and now the filter works like a charm! Yay, coffee!
\n*Just another thing that endeared me to Kay<\/a> was her confident and boisterous approach to espresso. She was tossing out words like “crema” and “macchiato” and telling me the best places to get espresso in Rome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
