  • That reminds me of the Amadeus bar in Leuven. The owner was notoriously grumpy and curt. I sometimes went there as a student to play board games. One time he seemed very interested as we were playing, as he was looking at the board. We asked him if he wanted to play with and he just went “No, I’m wondering how much longer this game will take so I can kick you out and close.”

    Not sure if it’s still open.













  • To avoid getting coffee grind in it, we tend to use somewhat courser grinds when making mocha. Recently there was a study that adding a tiny splash of water prior to grinding unlocks the most flavour, so there’s that as well.

    We are still not sure if it is better to slowly heat it from cold water or to just put it on the hottest and have it done faster. As I was typing this, I did a quick search and some guy on reddit even has the water boiling first, before assembling it. I suppose it doesn’t matter all that much, as long as the grind size is not too small.

    That being said, I’m hardly an expert, but I do enjoy a good mocha coffee from time to time (I think I will have one now, actually).

    I have 4 cats and I handle them all without getting scratched while trimming their nails. There is one cat that will bite the nail scissors, she is tricky to handle because of that. When she catches a finger between the nail scissors and her teeth, she bites full force and that does not make a pleasant experience. I tried burritoing her, but it’s just easier to have her on her back and using sleight of hand to distract her.
