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.
Coffee brewed below this temperature is thin and sour. Coffee brewed above this temperature is bitter and acidic. Hot coffee is normally held in serving pots at 180ÂºF. The recommended initial temperature in the cup is 170ÂºF and, as we all know, is too hot to drink. Coffee is either cooled by adding cream or by waiting for a few minutes before drinking.
