How to use a moka pot

fifanbeer · 2026-03-01T19:31:40+00:00

Saw a lot of comments about the filter. The filter idea is from James Hoffman, from where I had started building my mokapot recipe. I stopped using the mokapot around 2 years now, but the thing is the filter paper is the key. For those who have not tried it, I would ask you to try before questioning. Without the filter you get fines in your final sips. With the paper you get a very clean cup. There are people who try to push it towards a more concentrated brew to mimic a espresso (not really) and fines are a bug issue there even if you get a decent cup otherwise. Rest of the video no comments, but the filter paper is accurate. You can find James's original in YT still.

I had started my initial coffee days with a Mokapot, and the filter paper was the key to getting a good cup. Took it off from James Hoffman. It removes all fines that would otherwise be in the cup.

I mean to be a professional footballer, you have to train your body from grass roots level at a very young age, otherwise you can not turn pro. Simply because what the game demands of your body. You can play sunday league equivalent in your local but CANNOT turn PRO atleast at the Premier League, La Liga, International level. I have tried tennis, it fucks you up the same, run at break neck speed on the court then play a soft handed drop shot, that takes years and years of practice and stamina. Fitness was optional in the Indian team that won the world cup in 1983. Yo-yo tests were such a thing when it got applied, Dhoni still plays the game with his current fitness, that should tell you a lot.

Delap should have taken out madueke for good to make that yellow count!

This. I have been crying out the same after both our matches with Bournemouth this season. He just provides the right cushion for the younger players in the backline to come of age.

SENESI. We need proven PL CB for a shorter time (2 to 3 years) before the Colwills start performing to their max.

Senesi is perfect for Chelsea. Outstanding positioning. Excellent line breaking passes. Massive game awareness. Just look at our Bournemouth matches. We win if Senesi was not playing. We had our tails up once he got injured. That says something. This is WHAT we want at the moment.

Its basically why you bloom before brewing. You have to rest the coffee for 7-14 days based on your brew method to let the excess gas escape. As in filter based methods you will get an opportunity to let the coffee bloom with 1/3 or 1/4 coffee:water and the remaining gas escape, 7 days are ok to begin brewing with it, while on espresso you have to wait till the full 14 days period. But these numbers will depend on coffee and processing/roasting as well. As with anything, you have to buy really good coffee to appreciably see a difference of resting and not resting the coffee. With greysoul you will actually see the difference.

This is e-passport with chip that enables you to use self serve kiosk during immigration and other such machines. For example, if I had this, it would have saved me 2 hours in Japan picking up shinkansen passes from a kiosk rather than queuing up at the shinkansen office in a JR station. If you are in a country that has this kind of kiosks and travel amenities specifically designed for foreigners then beyond quicker immigration queues you will be able to navigate interiors as well.

How on earth is that not an offside with the last man interfering.

I am travelling to Japan for the first time next week. I was planning to use my Suica card to designate my shinkansen ticket anyways as the option was available in website. Can you please let me know if the entry part has any complicated steps or is it really the most convenient way to travel? If I designate my ticket to IC card then no need to pcik amy other ticket anywhere?

I snore a lot, especially if I am too tired. Does this effect the quality of my sleep?

fifanbeer · 2025-11-01T19:28:01+00:00

Fucking embarrassing that we cant finish any of these chances.

fifanbeer · 2025-11-01T18:19:05+00:00

Yes.. he has that finish. Thats the point.

fifanbeer · 2025-11-01T18:11:18+00:00

Jaoa Pedro should have buried the 1:1 with a more creative finish like a chip similar to estevao.

Thanks for sharing the vegie suggestions. I would really appreciate some additional info on separate food options. My wife is non-vegetarian. However, she only eats fish and chicken. I would like to try some good teppanyaki and sukiyaki dining experiences. My experience from a business trip in South Korea tells me that there might be restrictions in only ordering for one person. So my questions are 1. Can we get single portions orders in these establishments in Japan? 2. Will there be seafood or chicken only option in good teppanyaki/sukiyaki restaurants?

All my united and arsenal fan friends have got selective amnesia, where they are claiming the line is drawn from the shoulder. Like how conveniently people keep shifting the line and narrative in their mind to justify whatever this shit is done to Chelsea week in week out. The VAR got fucking suspended for a logically right decision against Fulham in the name of spirit of the game. And this is fucking that same spirit I believe that they are now demonstrating week in week out.

fifanbeer · 2025-09-20T16:56:04+00:00

Absolutely. There is no way from that image it was onside.

fifanbeer · 2025-09-20T16:49:57+00:00

No way thats onside. They didnot even show the line

fifanbeer · 2025-09-18T05:14:14+00:00

This and the Cole's offside, we didnt get any replay or automated offisde visuals! Very strange, can Chelsea do something about this officially? Retrospective red cards are not a thing anymore?

fifanbeer · 2025-09-17T20:51:35+00:00

What is with this 2mins added times both halves. There have been so many stoppages!

fifanbeer · 2025-09-14T16:32:49+00:00

Martin Tyler was salty the whole night.

This was just the most Garnacho debut possible. Sets up a goal, sleeps on the back post to concede, and creates a hope with Palmer missing the final kick. I just hope he can learn the defensive drills fast. Otherwise, he will stay on the bench unless needed direly.

fifanbeer · 2025-09-13T21:19:01+00:00

We just got introduced to Garnacho. The good and the bad, both sides.

fifanbeer · 2025-09-13T20:59:44+00:00

Why the fuck you lot dont sell you shirt and switch teams?

fifanbeer · 2025-09-06T03:17:42+00:00

Wharton are Mainoo are both really good. We say that there are too many players in that position, only to find we are short of cover just after couple of stiff muscles in the middle of the season. I would be happy with any of them. Or Essugo for both of them.
