When you dissolve instant coffee directly into hot water, the amylum contained in the granules hardens, creating a powdery taste and consistency. By mixing the granules with cold water first, they dissolve more gently once introduced to hot water.

I found this technique makes for a richer and more flavourful coffee experience. Allegedly also because aromatics evaporate slower.

I used to avoid instant coffee until I read this somewhere and tried it. It definitely changed my coffee game. The rationale behind it is that aromatics evaporate too quickly when the instant powder is infused with too/boiling hot water.

Absolutely. Quality instant coffee tastes as good as a regular brew, when prepared correctly: dissolve in cold water, ONLY THEN add hot water.

Der leistet seit langem gute Dienste.

Ansonsten einfach ein Victorinox Taschenmesser kaufen und lernen, wie man den dort verbauten benutzt. Der geht immer und ewig.

True. I tried some other rather light-weight distros but no other gave me a comparable polished experience.

Tried it out as a last resort on an old ThinkPad … and had it running for some 5 years. This is a seriously good daily driver!

Die Zentristen (aka. Konservative) waren schon damals die Steigbügelhalter der Nazis.

Maybe I expressed it a bit awkwardly. The other version has some integrations for syncing with Dropbox etc. and some third-party libraries. Strongbox zero is stripped of all of that.

I really like Strongbox on Mac for managing my Keepass-DBs. It is very well integrated and there even is a „no phoning home“ version that strictly runs locally.

Especially agricultural work, as there is equally as much (sexual) exploitation happening!

What I‘ve always wished for in Germany: a new and permanent de-nazifcation office. Let me dream…
