Illustrated perfectly by the completely intact & unburnt wall that the kitchen roll is attached to.

Advanced coffee hack.

I mixed up two parts sugar to one part instant coffee in a tupperware tub thing, took it to work.

Three spoonfuls in a mug, perfect black with two sugars.

Apart from the difference in density making the different powders separate a bit, requiring a good mix. Perhaps if I ground everything down to a finer grain....

Mind. Blown.

Over engineered. Just pour beer into empty coke can

Instant coffee 'perfect'?!

If you can fit your filter/espresso machine/barista in my Tupperware box, I'll accept the criticism.

Until then, it's as perfect as conditions allow.

I've come to love making an iced coffee (minus the ice) the night before work and sticking it at the back of the fridge once I get there.

Never got my head round cold coffee, maybe need to give it another try, just to make sure.

Either way, walking to work makes carrying a pre made beverage a pain.

Shall I get the whoosh parrot, or do you know where it's kept yourself?

I think it's to prevent the cleaning of the wall due to splashes from pans when cooking.

I assume he only has it like that when he's cooking rather than all the time? Otherwise it's a bit like plastic covers on a couch, keeps them clean but looks st.

Why ? Just...WHY ? "made" is already past tense, you don't need to tell us it was already made, because the word "made" carries this meaning implicitly.

Life hack - save breath and calories by NOT USING THE "PRE" prefix (irony) when it is completely and utterly redundant.

What about a second band around the top of the tin to secure it better?

Wasn't only me that thought this.

D'oh! Makes sense now, cheers.

Are you alright? You seem tense. Anyway:



I was expecting a sanitary towel-based acoustic solution to be honest.

When playing music from your mobile phone, if it sounds a bit tinny, stick sanitary towels to your phone to reduce the higher frequencies.
