What do you do when you get a bad grind from your favorite coffee house? A whole bag mind you. Do you toss it? Use it some other way? Take it back?

Well this is the second time it's happened (so sad) so I felt wrong about taking it back. I did so some experimentation! Those who follow my Iron Shot Cafe know that espresso is amazing in my shortbread! However a fine grind make a surprisingly weak french press. So I took some of my courser ground beans & mixed it in a bowl one filter size at a time until I found a ration that extracted perfectly! Thankfully it only took 3 tries!

My ratio on my breville is 2 scoops (tbls) commercially ground espresso grind to 1 scoop drip grinds. Leaves just enough space for no pressure overload!

Sewing with salvaged espresso!

Georgia is loving this time of year!
