A standard vented coffee bag has… a vent. So some smell is expected.

I just keep old coffee bags around if I need to store grounds or separate smaller quantities of beans.

I believe the objective is to reduce beans’ and grounds’ exposure to air, to reduce oxidation and flavor oil evaporation, so a standard coffee bag is the best way. Just squeeze out most of the air as you’re resealing it.

Storing in airtight jars leaves too much air, IMO.

It’s a different brewing method using pressure through a filter, resulting in a more fragrant brew.

I use a recipe that just brews in an inverted Aeropress for 10 seconds, so it comes out faster too, although most recipes call for brewing for longer.

But the quick method is great if I’m in a hurry that morning.

One downside to Aeropress is consuming paper filters, but I also have an aftermarket reusable metal mesh filter, and it works great.

Another downside is the dreaded “inverted Aeropress” disaster, which I recently experienced. I hold it by the plunger now ;-)

I alternate using both french press and Aeropress to keep from getting bored with my coffee.

For some reason, I get the opposite effect. I feel that the resulting brew from my plastic Aeropress loses more heat than my glass french press, so I have to preheat my coffee mug if I’m using my AP.

Giving it some thought, the effect may not be the AP material itself, but the heat loss from the high surface to volume ratio of the droplets as they come out of the filter, as opposed to the stream as the liquid is poured out in a single thick stream out of the french press.

i.e. A glass Aeropress may not reduce temperature loss significantly over plastic.

But my desire for a glass Aeropress is more for reducing plastic use, and risk of shedding microplastics into foods that I consume.

What would a funnel be for? I can’t think of a use for one off the top of my head.

I pour my old grounds out of my storage bag into a small bowl, pour my new grounds into my storage bag, then I pour the old grounds on top of my new grounds, and they should get used first.

I don’t shake my storage bag to mix the old grounds and the new evenly.

That depends on state and county law.

If a recall is possible, the same would dictate what the procedure for a recall is.

In the US, sheriffs are elected officials, i.e. they can’t be fired.

When you need to escape bad conditions by migrating to Syria, things must really be bad.

Or breaches even. Breeches are pants.

They lived together in harmony with other large dinosaurs inside large structures.

Hopefully everyone made it out safely, but I doubt that there are any reliable sources for that.

The disinformation campaign on Facebook targeting migrants has subsided for now, until somebody needs another immigration crisis.

Migrants are overwhelmingly dependent on Facebook for information, and the sources that they follow are riddled with disinformation. https://www.techtransparencyproject.org/articles/inside-world-misinformation-targeting-migrants-social-media

Don’t laugh.

In an election where the polls are statistically tied in the battleground states, a handful of voters could make a difference.

Trump: Loyalty for me, but not for thee.

That depends on how Canada implemented their plastic bag ban.

California’s ban allowed “reusable” bags, which the plastics industry interpreted to produce bags that looked a lot like the thin single use bags, but of thicker plastic, and consumer habits weren’t changed by much.

Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

Like @[email protected] said, this is closing a loophole that was in the original grocery bag reduction law.

They still have to form a coalition with other parties to get over 50% to form a ruling coalition.

If they don’t ally with either of the Russian-backed anti-Ukraine parties AFD (right) and BSW (left), it’ll take just about everyone else to get over 50%

Okay, but will it be replaced by something better, or just the most ruthless, violent and opportunistic who can rush in (heh) and fill the power vacuum first?

He sounds very Trump-like to me!

Made in his own image…

That was an easy mistake to make.

It’s well past time to militarily overthrow the evil repressive religious zealot regime in Alaska.
