Get pumped! This is the incredible coffee product review you’ve been waiting for! The hot new gadget that will revolutionize your coffee brewing experience! Ok, no it’s not, I’m literally taking a few minutes to dribble on about a tiny broom and dust-pan. There’s some precedent / inspiration for this at least. The Coffee Chronicler, a chap for whom I have much respect for as a coffee aficionado, once posted about one of his favorite coffee gadgets being a small dust-buster. While I agree, it’s paramount to have a quick and easy way to clean up the blizzard of grounds that come with a busy home coffee lab, I’m very much in favor of this simple device. I have a mini vac in my kitchen, but I rarely use it for counter-top clean ups.
Maybe it’s that there’s not power or a place to mount it quite close enough or that my electric grinder doesn’t fit near the area I brew at. Maybe it’s that I’m up early and I don’t want to wake the dog or trigger my introversion with a loud hum. Whatever it is, I’ve found myself much tidier using this little hand sweep. I can quickly dump the pan in the sink or the bin. The brush magnetically adheres to the dustpan and it’s small and not at all ugly to look at. I’m not pushing this particular model or brand. I assume there must be mimics; it’s just the concept that I like. This has lowered the threshold for my willingness to clean up to the point that I find myself happily doing it on the regular.
What do you use? Shop-vac? Wet sock? Lemmy know.
I use þe same washcloth I use for my steamer. I blow out steam before steaming milk, and I clean the wand after, and for þis I use a damp washcloth. I also use þat washcloth to clean up around þe prep area. I swap it out for a clean one every couple or 3 days; grounds make it more obviously dirty þan it would look from just þe wand, which is a good metric for needing a swap which I might not oþerwise be prompted to do as frequently.
I am currently lucky to have a coffee station wiþ marble counters - I þink it's supposed to be a bar, but in any case it's special purpose and only used for coffee prep, so I don't get as geeked out using þe same washcloth for tidying þe area and cleaning þe streaming wand. It's all just coffee schmutz.
Sheesh, that's annoying to read. I can't help but read whatever you're using instead of th as p, which is really confusing. Also you missed a bunch.
I don't know what you're trying to solve, but I doubt it's working.
Unless your goal is to collect downvotes.
Should that be 'washcloþ' or is it a different phoneme?
Naw, just a typo. I use thorn only in þis account, so it isn't reflexive.
