The trouble with a percolator is that water is boiled, and the steam forces water up to the #coffee basket, where it drips down...into the boiling water, where it boils and... That&#39;s the problem right there, never boil your coffee! (My parents always made coffee with a percolator, we didn&#39;t know it was bad, just like we didn&#39;t know instant coffee was bad, until much later, when I decided, life&#39;s too short for instant coffee!) 2024-11-02T11:06:41Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsxdx30jk5pdgkdc0ncc5n2lg84e5pyfnncsdgek7sjq490v9q9k4gzyz94f9kqksg2m952mxgsec0g74m4e4yq0p4fkd3mcd94sgs72fquc4k8l7d In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqstd9tf2p0k8hc0cp869q9hdpe0m95qugth82c63ghshlfdcxps83qwdm93m'>nevent1q…m93m</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Fantastic, Ben! 2024-10-28T09:10:03Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsr7y5kega9l6g3qdmzgnuustqd8k9ldg4ethg0vjq98f2raex4tsczyz94f9kqksg2m952mxgsec0g74m4e4yq0p4fkd3mcd94sgs72fqucfrz4ra In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsfw5g4pcq2jg0qvty49hj728p8warxazkvy4qr45wevqe3h75g6rg5tgcwa'>nevent1q…gcwa</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Fabulous! 2024-10-27T13:50:29Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsdennvsggj4m7c43fz607lu509rz8r7gh4dsnxxwwusmyklpegp7czyz94f9kqksg2m952mxgsec0g74m4e4yq0p4fkd3mcd94sgs72fquckpjzze A warning to the world: old #plastic bags explosive!<br/><br/>Like many others, we have a corner kitchen cupboard that&#39;s nigh on inaccessible, and consequently collects many things that are seldom used. My wife had occasion to find one of these last evening, and accidentally touched a plastic bag that was, we discovered, holding a tea-pot (bought 25+ years ago, never used). The bag disintegrated into a million tiny shreds!
