quicklime

I’ve been doing this for several years. I kept the original not-very-fine strainer on my Bodum press, because anything finer would be too hard or slow to press even after several extra minutes’ wait for settling. So instead, I just transfer the coffee to a carafe after pressing, and post-filter the stuff with a paper filter.

It’s not ideal, but it turns out to be the best coffee I can make in multi-cup quantities with no more expensive apparatus than just the French press. It tastes far better than any routine with coarser grounds. It seems more efficient in grounds (and time spent) than pour-over. And although my aeropress can exceed this quality when loaded with fine grounds, it can’t make several cups at once.

I haven’t been on FB for several years, but ugh there was a while in the late 2010s when so many people over there were referring to FB groups as sites and just arghh arrghh aaarrgghhh.

Thanks for the info! Yeah, it’s going to take the fediverse in general some time to get smoother. I’m excited to watch it improve even if the pace is slow.

What motivated you to switch instances? Did your early ones fill up with junk posts etc? I was thinking that since I use a reader app (Boost for Lemmy) and everything is federated it wouldn’t matter much if I joined one of the large and general-purpose instances.

Or was it more about performance issues… service/instance traffic overload leading to slow response time?

You had me on board until… Hershey’s chocolate? That’s not even chocolate anymore, it’s like putrid brown wax!
