I like the taste of Malta fine but I find it super sweet. I imagine adding sweetened condensed milk doesn’t help that at all.

BUT I have read in the past that it has some smelling problem which the manufacturer were not able to get rid of.

I know this is quite a bit of a long time to come back to a thread (someone posted a new comment so it has pulled me back) but I find there is a bit of a coffee odor retained even after washing. Nothing rancid or anything but you can tell it gets used as a coffee mug. I find the main culprit is the gasket on the lid. but I’ve found that if I want to make the effort a soak in baking soda water eliminates it but I find when it is full of coffee any new coffee scents aren’t being harmed by the lingering coffee smell. I may just not be very sensitive to such things though.

Honestly, I don’t. Because I make them better.

That is the situation in my household. My wife is one of those people who goes overboard on the primary filling and throws the proportions off. It isn’t Katz’s deli levels but it is noticeable.

I do it for every grinder. Minimal retention = less cleaning.

Yep. Those mornings I forget to introduce a bit of water I always kick myself because now I’m fussing with a brush for three times as long to get my manual grinder clean.

Meijer and Walmart store brands of cheap ass white bread are 22 slices, Kroger is 21, and for a name brand example Sunbeam is 22. Nicer bread like Pepperidge Farm or Brownberry/Oroweat tends to be in the range of 16 slices per loaf (baring the thin sliced stuff) though.

Indeed. I can grab a loaf of cheap white bread from my local grocery store for under $2 which is cut into 22 slices.

I keep going back to Star Trek Online for some star ship pew pew. I usually get a month or two in going back over the story arcs and participating in events until the constant event schedule makes me realize I’m trapped in the grind and not playing any other games. So I drop it to break free and play the rest of my game library. The community isn’t something I really interact with as pretty much all of the game content is playable solo or antisocial (the team content is easy enough you can just random queue and don’t really have to talk or strategize with them). It is overwhelmingly PvE (though PvP is technically in the game) and it has some fun lore if you are a Star Trek fan.
