Perfect description. For bonus points add doubt to every step:
Should I wash the pot more before using it to fill water, or is it enough to rinse it?
There is stuff in the sink. Will it cause me to spray water when filling the pot over it? What if I hold the pot too low and get tomato sauce on it. I'll have to clean it. Where is the dish rag in case I need it?
Should I rinse the filter first? I heard it recommended.
Should the coffee put in the filter be flattened? Or is it okay in a little mound like it always is.
How cold will I have to wait for the grounds to be before I take the filter out, and is there space in the garbage? What if it leaks again and I get a small coffee puddle in the drawer under the bin bag that is so hard to clean.
And add micro-blackouts where random unrelated gestures and moves have been made, only to find out right after the fact
This is why I can't make a pot of coffee without first emptying the dishwasher (if it's clean), move dishes from sink to dishwasher, and take out the trash first.
This is one reason why I drink Cold Brew. I only have to make it like once a week.
I just defer all that to lunchtime when I need the griddle.
Which of course doesn't get cleaned until dinner, when the cycle repeats.
And you'll come back in from taking the trash out and forget the original plan was to make coffee and go do another thing instead.
Cold brew is a great idea. What's your method/recipe?
I have a primula cold brew pitcher that I bought several years ago and it has had constant use. I'm not sure if they still make/sell this particular model but it does approx 2qts at a time.
So I'll make a primula pitcher and let it steep for a few days, then move it to a "storage pitcher" (regular 2qt pitcher) and then start another primula pitcher that'll steep until the storage pitcher is empty. Rinse. Repeat.
The pitcher has held up amazingly well over the years. Recently, the filter handle has these two little metal pins that function as a hinge...over time they corroded and now needs replacement. I bought some little screws and nuts to do it but now I forgot where I put the handle.
The great thing about cold brew is that even cheap beans/grounds make a pretty good coffee. I usually buy the cheapest pre-ground at Job Lot, or store brand at the wholesale club. The pitcher has definitely paid for itself in Dunkin runs.
Thank you!
Also, there is the possibility that the last time the coffee maker was used it was never rinsed, and now there is a green cement-like layer of mold on the bottom that will need to soak overnight before you can even imagine scrubbing it off.
