Going shopping this afternoon anyway. Will see what I can find...

Well dear,
I have a gadget that I got from Ikea for few bucks that doubles as timer and thermometers. It has a long metal thread and a long pointy head. So that I can put it in a piece of meat roasting in the oven.
I used few times to see how hot became the water after so many minutes in my MW. And that's it. But look, tea became so good but so good and for really very little money. With just a bit of care, for the clean cups and those things.
Of course having given up smoking and boozing is making me more sensitive ...
By the way, i am finding coffee less interesting, except those tight espressos that I have after meals with Nespresso. Those are still quite satisfying.
As a matter of fact I am thinking of going back to milling it myself (that makes some difference) and maybe roasting it, like my grandparents were doing. I can get the green coffee in Milano, easy.
This is a great thread, I think.
