Since this is the Café... do you like tea or coffee?

Needed something a little sweet:

It sure is. It takes/took me more than a few tries to get it brewed to my liking. When family and friends come over and wanting that "cup of Joe," I'll brew using this method for "entertainment" purposes.

I don't know if it was the brewing process or I just wasn't used to the taste. It's such a clean un muddied taste. I don't mind some muddy, it's why I drink Turkish coffee

Coffee most of the time, usually by using a french press.

Cold and wet this evening. I'm brewing my cup the "Clever" way:

What are those metal "beans" for in the larger version of that pic CLHC?

Those are Coffee Joulies.

Here's an in-house kitchen test I did back in 2013:

Okay, using two 16 ounce Thermos SIPP Vacuum Insulated Travel Tumblers one with the Joulies SS Beans and one without and pre-heated. Using water only that I boiled and filled both Thermoses at the same time, here's my temperature observations this Saturday February 2 2013:

11:50AM = Thermos w/Joulies 180ºF
11:50AM = Thermos 180ºF

2:10PM = Thermos w/Joulies 150ºF
2:10PM = Thermos 160ºF

4:20PM = Thermos w/Joulies 140ºF
4:20PM = Thermos 146ºF

7:05PM = Thermos w/Joulies 138ºF
7:05PM = Thermos 130ºF

9:00PM = Thermos w/Joulies 126ºF
9:00PM = Thermos 120ºF

Of course this was done in my kitchen using only water. Maybe using coffee might be different? Again, these are just my observations and Your Methods May Vary accordingly so.



Use with an open cup/mug/tumbler, it'll cool down one''s hot drink faster than it should. That's a complaint of most expecting a hot drink that's drinkable. Personally, I like it.

Tonight I had this once again, but with a double shot of Kahlúa Especial mixed in:
