[recipe] Cold-brew concentrate / iced coffee
Concentrate
1 cup whole coffee beans
4 cups water
1. Grind the coffee beans on the coarsest setting on your grinder, or in short 1-second pulses in a spice grinder. The grounds should look like coarse cornmeal, not fine powder. You should have just under 1 cup of grounds.
2. Transfer the coffee grounds to the container you’re using to make the cold brew. Pour the water over top. Stir gently with a long-handled spoon to make sure the grounds are thoroughly saturated with water.
3. Cover the jar with a lid. Let the coffee steep for about 12 hours. The coffee can be left on the counter or refrigerated; steeping time is the same.
4. Line a small strainer with cheesecloth or flour sack cloth and place over a large measuring cup or bowl. Pour the coffee through the strainer.
5. Transfer the coffee to a small bottle or jar and store in the fridge for up to a week.
6. Dilute the coffee with as much water or milk as you prefer. Serve over ice.

When life gives you small coffee cups…
Now that I’m back working at the office a couple of times a week, I have come to the conclusion that the coffee cups are much to small….
Proof there’s a glitch in the matrix
This cup of coffee shouldn’t be there. I have no recollection of putting it there. I must’ve done. But I will swear I don’t remember doing so.
This morning, I made myself a cup of coffee. I went to the bathroom. I came out of the bathroom and went back to the kitchen, but my cup wasn’t there where I left it. I looked around. Nothing. Go to the office/guest bedroom. It was on my desk.
So, for this to have happened, I had to have walked across the flat, gone in the office, put it on my desk, left my office and gone to the bathroom. Except I *do not* remember that sequence of event.
I know that walking through a doorway makes you forget things. That’s a documented, scientifically proven and studied phenomenon. Somehow I managed to do it twice in one go and erase the fact I went into a room, did something, and left.
Either that or the flat is haunted by a coffee-maid. Or the matrix glitch. Or I’m nuts.
Trying out the new Nespresso machine

Coffee crack
Brought some chocolate coffee bark to the office to celebrate a project milestone. You can’t eat too much of it… It’s been known to cause mild palpitations.
I might have a problem
Happy national coffee day
ISSpresso – it’s good to have your priorities straight
Astronauts on the station will finally be able to enjoy a decent brew thanks to the 20kg machine designed by famed Italian coffee makers Lavazza and engineering firm Argotec, which specialises in making space food. Samantha Cristoforetti, 37, who is a captain in the Italian air force, “will be not only the first female astronaut from Italy to go into space, but also the very first astronaut in the history of the conquest of space to savour an authentic Italian espresso in orbit,” the two companies said in a statement.
