Yes that brew temp is correct. Any hotter and you'll scald the coffee. That's the temperature that the water hits the ground beans, not the temperature it should hit your lips. In a french press, the brew then sits for 3-4 minutes before be

Interesting hack, but if your coffee is scalding when it's being prepared, something is wrong and it's going to taste bad anyways. I also hope there's a disclaimer attached to the packaging that warns of the dangers of gulping down your cof

Yeah, that was glaringly lacking in the post. I doubt the idea is one that no one's ever thought of before and keeping it a secret is only going to prevent him from getting potentially valuable feedback.

Not really... I just finished writing a couple days ago and this seemed like a good opportunity to mention it. I don't have a site yet, and I'm not much of an SEO buff, so I really just wanted to get some ideas from those in the community m

This is just a last-ditch effort by these sites to retain their only competitive advantage: privileged access to ITA data. I don't see anything "creepy" about this merger though...classic fear-mongering.
