I really want to try Turkish coffee, they say it is an exotic one. As I understand it, its espresso-ground coffee and water (optionally also with sugar), brought to the boil in a pot then served directly into cups; you could probably make that yourself. Filtering isn't done though, so you will be getting a bunch of grounds in the coffee - its for people who want coffee you can chew 4 hours ago, Rixton said: On the other hand, not long ago at work, we run out of coffee, and someone offered us capsule coffee, we gave it a try. Well, I am not sure why many people like it, but it was just like it we ordered it from a very low quality coffee vending machine. As far as I know, its "camp coffee" (like freeze dried coffee, but not freeze dried, left as a thick liquid) - the hot water from the machine washes the liquid out of the pot and dissolves it, but otherwise its just a fancy way to make instant coffee. some pod machines use actual coffee (basically a prepack with a built in filter) or I have seen machines that take "coffee bags" (just like tea bags, but with coffee in them) and pass the water though that. The problem really is that you need a fair bit more coffee grounds than you need tea when making a cupful, so there isn't room for a decent amount of grounds in a tiny capsule or bag... 4 hours ago, Ganaram Inukshuk said: I miss coffee... On the other hand, I got one of my Unity-Blender cars to peak at 500MPH. Which is really cool, but no substitute for good coffee... 1 ᚾᛖᚹ ᛚᚢᚾᚨ ᚱᛖᛈᚢᛒᛚᛁᚴ - ᚦᛖ ᚠᚢᚾ ᚺᚨᚦ ᛒᛖᛖᚾ ᛞᛟᚢᛒᛚᛖᛞ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ganaram Inukshuk 3,682 January 7, 2019 Share January 7, 2019 No, I haven't had any covfefe all day. Yes, I'm considering upgrading my computer again. For the curious, I'm thinking: 12 core CPU if available, 16 if I'm insane enough; anything that leverages a higher clockspeed or IPC while having more cores than my current computer (I have a few multithreaded workloads that would appreciate the extra cores) will do 32GB RAM; 64 if I'm insane enough 1TB SSD because I keep running out of space; 500GB may also work I'm currently at: 8 core CPU at 3600MHz 16GB RAM 256GB SSD <> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
