The problem with coffee is you have to make it before you've had your coffee.

Thats why I like my Espresso Coker so much. I can always get two espressos out of one batch, so I usually let the second one cool down and can make myself some ice coffee the next morning.
This happens to me more often than it should. I blame it on the fact I need a coffee to make a proper cup of coffee.
I’m just clumsy. Definitely a at-least-once-a-year occasion
Drybrew
On a spring night in April 1865, the overcrowded steamboat SS Sultana churned up the Mississippi River carrying thousands of Union soldiers newly freed from Confederate prisons. Below deck, the ship’s aging boilers strained under immense pressure; engineers, eager to keep speed, had tied down the safety valve lids that should have released steam. Just after midnight near Memphis, the boilers gave way in a deafening blast that split the vessel apart. Fire roared through the decks as men were hurled into the cold river, many too weak from captivity to swim. By dawn, more than a thousand lives were lost in what became the deadliest maritime disaster in U.S. history.
This is a story about the importance of lids.
Ah yes, aroma dé tableau
Kaadat vaan noi kevarit siihen päälle niin hyvä siitä tulee.
Looks fine to me.
Closer to medium fine I think
That time I wish we had awards to grind out.
Hmm seems risky. I'd be worried about the oxidation but I imagine the aromatics really stand out better this way. You'll need to do bench trials to determine the variables for spilling speed, spread, and the counter/floor ratio.
How'd it turn out?
It looks like you got a full scoop in the spoon so I don't see what the problem is?
That's just spill over coffee
It's coffee grounds not coffee counters
Next time spill them on the ground?
We don't make the rules, we just read the ~~tea leaves~~ coffee beans.
I rely on this method when I’ve either got a hangover, am in a rush, or both.
One fateful morning I forgot to put the filter in first.
Crunchy style
Freestyle!
I finally decided it was worth losing a little aroma from grinding the beans and loading the filter the night before in order to have coffee at the touch of a button when I'm sleepy.
I like pourover, but I also don't like super hot coffee, so I make mine before bed and vacuum seal it in a mason jar. Then I either have "iced coffee" in the morning or I give it a quick reheat to an immediately drinkable temp. With the vacuum, I don't really get a discernable taste difference by the time I wake up.
I'm no expert, but I think the water needs to go through the coffee.
Snorting? Hell yeah
perrrrrkele
Coff-whiiiiiiiii
I get that you're using the Finnish method (well done might i add) but that's way too much coffee for 3.72 cups.
Must not have cats/dogs/small people to dodge. I'm not laughing at you, I'm crying with you! Medications are so expensive nowadays.
This is fine, its when it dumps into a drawer that things are a problem
What is the little funnel thing in the carafe for?
It just seems weird to have a plastic tube sitting in the hot coffee.
It stops the coffee forming layers, so that early drips and late drips don't separate from the dripping.
One time I forgot to "catch" a dose of the most expensive coffee I've bought from the grinder. The aftermath looked similar 😭
That's complicated. My cousins cat spills coffee like that and I don't know how he does it. Very odd, very secret.
