Notes from a Coffee Nut

Above: I wrote about cold brew coffee makers for the Reader’s Digest website.

As I’ve noted here before, as I put down the sweet treats, I’ve been picking up more and more coffee. I happened to have an excellent decaf cappuccino this afternoon at Da Pepo in Montclair. Never mind that my lunch companion was a moody teen in a flannel shirt and black jeans--the coffee was a great cap on our lunch.

A good cold brew is a gift from the heavens. (TBT, a lot of the appeal for me is stirring in a good amount of fresh whole milk, like from the little jug* I bought today at Whole Foods. I went with Skipper to get a back-to-school water bottle--she chose sleek black--and snacks, including seaweed packs, chocolate quinoa, applesauce squeeze packets and fruit-filled cereal bars.)

*Jolly quart jug, "gently pasteurized." Dan told me to stop getting raw, unpasteurized milk (the kind I was loving in Maine) because it might not be safe. IDK. Check https://www.familyfarmsteaddairy.com.

Anyway, here is the cold brew story link:

Soon time to go to bed, alarm set, dreaming of tomorrow morning’s brew.

Good night.
