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.
You see, coffee is ideally brewed at a temperature of about 195 to 205 degrees Fahrenheit, meaning drinkers typically have to wait about 10 minutes before it cools to a more sippable 140 degrees. After which point, there's a small window of perhaps 15 minutes before the staleness of room temperature sets in.
