McDonald's breakfast is 100% legit, the calorie counts on most of the items are pretty reasonable too.

i was going to get some today but the drive through line was heck of long and the parking lot was pretty full so i just did not have breakfast. or lunch.

this morning when i went to get coffee, there was one pot that was empty, and another that was just being started. this is not a scenario that should be happening, and it made me sad. i had to go down to 5th floor to get coffee.

our office coffee has been getting worse and worse i'm pretty sure because no one cleans the pots or the coffee maker. so i've been getting caribou light roast lately. i had it today. it's very good.

tried James Hoffman’s French press recipe/technique this morning. results: :shrug:

it’s not like it took effort but it had about as much silt as a normal FP and just didn’t knock my socks off vs the normal “put in grounds, add hot water, put lid/screen on top, wait 4-5 min and push down.” it’s totally possible my palate just isn’t that sensitized/trained

been monkeying around with some aeropress techniques again and that’s felt more rewarding.

coffee still good, regardless

I've been doing his aeropress method of uhhh 11g coffee/200g water, 2 minutes, swirl, 30 seconds, press and it's good and easy. just taking the time to be consistent with it is a huge improvement over my previous "oops I let it sit there for 10 minutes" or "well it's been long enough [it's been 20 seconds]"

I also have both and use the aeropress way more because it's easier to clean, faster to brew, and makes one cup at a time. French press only ever comes out when we've got company or something.

it still grinds a good bean. i hit the inside with some sandpaper and a wirewheel (and it probably needs a little more cleaning and ...sharpening?) but i'm leaving the outside as is after dusting and cleaning it.
