They say the flesh is weak, but the mind can be weaker.It was my sister in law's birthday last weekend so we went over there for some pie and, well, coffee.
I would've said no to the coffee if it had been made in the regular fashion. But of course things never go the way you want. Especially for the occassion they dug up this contraption from the '60s.
The way it works: you put water in the bottom bowl, coffee in the upper bowl. You put a candle under the bottom bowl, which boils the water, which then travels up through a tube into the upper bowl, where it mixes with the coffee. When all of the water has risen, you simply remove the candle and your beverage simply drops back into the bottom bowl from which you can pour it into the cups.
So how can you say no to coffee after such a display?
