Yes. I became an atheist after we'd been married for several years. It made for a bit of a rough time until we settled into the new status quo.
Dravin
BUT I have read in the past that it has some smelling problem which the manufacturer were not able to get rid of.
I know this is quite a bit of a long time to come back to a thread (someone posted a new comment so it has pulled me back) but I find there is a bit of a coffee odor retained even after washing. Nothing rancid or anything but you can tell it gets used as a coffee mug. I find the main culprit is the gasket on the lid. but I've found that if I want to make the effort a soak in baking soda water eliminates it but I find when it is full of coffee any new coffee scents aren't being harmed by the lingering coffee smell. I may just not be very sensitive to such things though.
Oh, I agree. If I use a recipe regularly I'll often convert it or if I'm creating one from scratch I'll usually just have everything by weight from get go.
P.S. Nothing makes me annoyed at a recipe faster than seeing something like 2.5 cups of chopped broccoli.
You're welcome. A nice resource for a bunch of other ingredients for baking is this one from King Arthur Flour.
1 tablespoon of butter is ~14 g. For a more complete conversion (with respect to butter): 1 stick = 0.5 cup = 8 tablespoons = 24 teaspoons = 113 g.
A cup in US Customary is 237 ml (often rounded to 240 ml). Americans don't exist in a world where they have to play "is this cup US Customary or different measure also calling itself a cup measure?" as all their measuring cups are going to be in US Customary. Butter usually comes in quarter pound sticks with teaspoon (4.9 ml) and tablespoon (14.8 ml) measures printed on the wrapper so you can just cut a hunk of the appropriate volume from the stick and if you were using a measuring spoon to measure butter you'd use a level measure to create consistency and not just let it heap up.
Note: I prefer weighing ingredients and in metric at that. I'm just answering your questions.
I do it for every grinder. Minimal retention = less cleaning.
Yep. Those mornings I forget to introduce a bit of water I always kick myself because now I'm fussing with a brush for three times as long to get my manual grinder clean.
A mug warmer would work for my at home drinking which is my primary concern. I'll have to keep it in mind as I never even considered it for a second.
I like the lid design. I'm seeing some people complain about the plastic threading wearing down on the lid but I can easily see that being user error (over torquing). Is that something you've had any issues with?
Thanks for suggesting Yeti. I think in my head I had it pegged as a coolers and cold drink tumblers company but it makes sense that insulation is insulation. I'm looking at the Rambler Mug and I imagine that thing would last forever as there really isn't anything to have break on it compared to some of the more complex lid and gasket systems some travel mugs are using.
I'll admit I hadn't considered an insulated carafe as a solution. That's a good idea for a full morning of small cups.
Thankfully no kids in the mix. I can imagine how that complicates things.
