One a day, plus iron

I have a Bubba mug for my coffee. This is because it's cheaper to make my own coffee at home than it is to pay $4.00 for a bought coffee every day. It's probably (over the course of years) even more environmentally friendly to use a stainless-steel and plastic reusable mug every day than it is to get fresh paper ones with sippy cup lids every day. Dunno.

( Want to read a review of my sippy cup? )

In cleaning out the Caesar and Thelma apartment, there was found a coffee grinder. A hand cranked one, clearly an old thing. It looks kinda like this only, like, old. And missing the drawer that says "coffee" on it. There is no drawer.

It sounded like it... grinded? Ground? The handle to crank went round and round and it seemed like it might work, so I took it home with me. En route to my house, I bought some coffee beans and a packet of coffee filters because I wanted to SEE if it worked. I do not own a coffee maker but the internet strongly suggests that you can grind up coffee beans and then just kinda ... pour hot water over it? And that makes coffee? Somehow? The internet says that this Really Does Work, so...

Side note, I do drink coffee, just generally in a to-go cup from a national purveyor of coffee that has an app and a drive-through window. But anyway, Let's Go Experiment!

( Does it work? Does this witchcraft... make coffee? )
