   Hi, Ardith Hinton! -> Anton Shepelev   
   I read your message from 17.06.2022 01:48   
      
    AH> Alexander's wording leaves the time frame more open to question.   
    AH> Because he's telling a joke, I imagine this is probably the effect   
    AH> he wanted.   
      
    AH> Charles M. Schulz used a similar strategy in a 1989 PEANUTS   
    AH> cartoon:   
      
    AH>  Linus:    I hear your grandfather has taken up golf.   
    AH>  Charlie:  He's been playing for about a year..   
    AH>  Lucy:     That's a long time to be out on the course..

    AS>> 140 grams is my daily portion.   
    AH> In wet or dry measurements? If you mean the former, that's about   
    AH> the same amount I usually drink in a day... but (as with my   
    AH> briefcase) I don't lift it & put it down just once. The preparation   
    AH> alone involves a bit of lifting... I take my time over anything   
    AH> containing alcohol or caffeine... and on occasions when I have a   
    AH> second cup within 24 hours I'll drink a smaller amount.   
      
    AH> As a teacher I worked with someone from the Netherlands who   
    AH> obviously preferred stronger coffee. When it was her turn to make   
    AH> coffee, I would dilute it 50/50 with boiling water before drinking   
    AH> it. I've heard the same applies in other European countries but   
    AH> don't know what the average Russian would do. :-)   
      
   The size of a coffee cap in Russia depends on what you are going to eat with   
   your coffee. ;)   
      
    AS>> I buy freshly roasted coffee beens, grind them myself immediately   
    AS>> before brewing, and make my coffee in an electronically-contolled   
    AS>> jezwe.   
      
    AH> My mother used a coffee percolator, which works with a campfire or   
    AH> an oil/wood/electric/gas stove or whatever other source of heat is   
    AH> available. I'm not sure what a "jezwe" is. But nowadays I generally   
    AH> prefer the Melitta filter system, which requires little of me   
    AH> except to add a cup of boiling water to the pre-ground beans & wait   
    AH> 60 seconds when I'm making coffee just for myself. :-)   
      
   I tried several times to  make coffee from ground roasted coffee beans, but   
   could not make anything worth with my cezve. Have you seen a video in the   
   Internet how to prepare a really good coffee?   
      
   Bye, Ardith!
