@CindyWeinstein@zirk.us #3goodthings #ThreeGoodThings Thanks for the alert about national Coffee Day! 1) As a kid in #Venezuela, I remember my parents opening a can of coffee with a key that was soldered loosely to the lid. Insert the end of a strip scored into one end of the cylinder and turn the key until the strip was all rolled around the key to get to the coffee. (I think a brand from New Orleans with chicory in it had the same system.) 2) In college, on a contraband hot plate, making espresso in a two-stage pot for classmates who’d never seen anything like that. 3) In #Spain as a teenager on an exchange, amazed at friends whose breakfast was a bowl of coffee with milk into which they dipped a roll spread with Nutella. Genius! (Was that just my friends, or was that a thing?)
