[11:59] <cmaloney> morning
[12:08] <_stink_> good morning
[12:13] <brousch> Wow, this coffee really is better
[12:13] <brousch> I tried an over night cold brew. It lets a lot more subtle flavors survive
[12:32] <ColonelPanic001> interesting
[12:32] <ColonelPanic001> I'm thinking of getting a decent french press just to get rid of yet-another electical device taking up my valuable counterspace
[12:32] <ColonelPanic001> and because I could make my own at work then (I can't drink much regular, or I get like Fry in that episode of futurama)
[12:32] <ColonelPanic001> a little caffeine goes a very long way with me
[12:33] <brousch> I have a french press. You still need to heat the water somehow
[12:34] <brousch> Unless you cold brew overnight
[12:34] <ColonelPanic001> yeah, I have an electric kettle at home and work for tea
[12:34] <ColonelPanic001> so really it would mean I could make coffee almost like I make tea already anyway
[12:34] <brousch> My press makes 3 cups, so I do it at home and bring it to work in a thermos
[12:34] <ColonelPanic001> yeah, thought of that too, maybe
[12:35] <ColonelPanic001> I don't drink a lot of coffee, but then that's partly to just avoid the caffeine. If I could make decent decaf like that, might be worth the bother
[12:36] <brousch> I drink decaf
[12:37] <brousch> You could easily make half-caf this way too
[12:37] <ColonelPanic001> yeah
[12:39] <brousch> The hardest part of french press is figuring out how much grounds to use. Each batch of coffee is a little different
[12:40] <brousch> So there's always a brew or 2 of too powerful/weak when you start a new bag
[12:42] <_stink_> question
[12:43] <_stink_> if the water is cold
[12:43] <_stink_> is it really a 'brew' at all
[12:43] <_stink_> and not just a 'soak'
[12:44] <brousch> That's a better name for it
[12:44] <_stink_> a less appetizing name :P
[12:44] <_stink_> mmm, taste this soak i made
[12:45] <brousch> cold soak
[12:45] <brousch> Would you like a cup of cold soak?
[12:46] <_stink_> oh yes please
[13:04] <rick_h_> morning
[13:15] <cmaloney> morning
[13:19] <cmaloney> How's the morning so far?
[13:21] <rick_h_> I can haz coffee
[13:37] <cmaloney> rick_h_: Are you back state-side?
[13:37] <rick_h_> cmaloney: yea, back last night
[13:37] <rick_h_> yay
[13:37] <cmaloney> woo woo!
[13:37] <cmaloney> Everything go well
[13:37] <cmaloney> ?
[13:37] <rick_h_> now to catch up on the world
[13:38] <rick_h_> ok, still have a job so that always makes for a good sprint :)
[13:38] <cmaloney> Kind of like the Christmas party at my dad's old job
[13:38] <rick_h_> lol
[13:38] <cmaloney> If you didn't tell the boss of the company where he could shove his bottles of wine it was considered a success.
[14:04] <brousch> Hm, bonus from the cold brew. There is almost no sediment compared to usual
