Recycles dryer sheets
Spent some time with my niece recently as she just had a baby and needed some help with her.
She instructed me on the finer points of 'cold brew' coffee, She wouldn't drink the stuff I brewed in the auto drip pot. She explained that you had to grind the beans up (rather coarsely) and put them in the $30 + (some go for $100's) glass drip system for 2 days in the fridge.
I said how about I just put my coffee in your cup over ice and add some cream, she would rather go 20 minutes away to get it (with no real assurance that they weren't doing the same thing I would do). Finally the second day she acquiesced and tried it my old fartsy way. "Not too bad', she said. Hmmmm, really does the coffee know the difference between 2 day cold brew in the fridge and 5 year old Mr Coffee hot brew?
Then I go to her house and she has no coffee cups, just the 'trail' type cups with lids. I asked her if she had any cups, 'oh, ya, we got those with our wedding china but put them in a box in the garage cause we never use them'
Drive 20 minutes each way to pay $5 for a cold brew cup of coffee. What?!?!
