Household batteries (the usual suspects: AA, AAA, C, D, 9-volt) can be recycled through battery retailers like Batteries Plus. While you save up enough old batteries to make it worth a disposal trip, keep your dead batteries in a dry place that's out of reach of kids.
Water temperature is vital. Doing it correctly, you can make what many say is the perfect cup of coffee. Ideally, you want the temperature between 195 and 200 degrees F. One way to do this is to boil the water and use an âinstant readâ thermometer from any kitchen store.
Almost all coffee is brewed with the water tmperature way too hot-at the 200 degree myth! This brings out way too much bitterness and destroys the taste of most coffee. For pour over the perfect temperature is between 170-180 (max!). For smooth, rich tasting cup of pour over, try it.
