Thoughts on drip assist devices? in c/[email protected]

I'm not sure how they compare between each other (Gabi and Hario), but I don't really see much difference from manually pooring. Basically going the immersion route makes your water touch the coffee longer. That might extract more fats and make it less healthy, and in my opinion not a better taste (I don't like other immersion products either). Taste is personal of course.

It might give you a slight improvement in comfort, but at what cost.

What do you use spent coffee grounds for (if anything)? in c/[email protected]

Like most commenters, I throw them with the filters on the compost pile. But recently I had a dog in the neighborhood pulling out plants in my front garden, and shitting in it. Spreading some of the coffee grounds seemed very effective against that too. I guess the dog doesn't like the smell. So it;'s a win-win because the plants profit from it directly too :D

Milk might be a good option, it's creaminess also adds to the seasonal flavor ofcourse

Savoring the season; Autumn and Winter coffee (lemmy.world)
 

It's the time for cozy moments, and there is nothing quite like a steaming cup of coffee to warm your spirits. By infusing your coffee with flavors suited for these seasons you can create delightful beverages that are not only delicious but great for making memories.

What are your favourite stay-inside recipes?

Cinnamon adds a warm and comforting aroma to coffee, try getting the best organic cinnamon rolls you can get and grind them in your spice grinder. A pinch of this spice not only brings flavor, but it's said that it might support a better health. It's sweet and woody notes make it perfect for the darker days ahead.

Crushed up almonds can enhance and enrich your coffee by adding a more nutty flavor. Just a few almonds inside of your pourover or immersion brew can make it have a luxurious taste. Almonds add a depth to the brew and changes up your regular cup.

Coca nibs are less suited for an immersion brew, but for short filtration they can add an explosive taste to your cup. Be sure to use raw unsweetened nibs, to benefit from their warmth and antioxidants that contribute to your well-being.

Do you have any other great additions? How about mixing up your brew with spiced herbal tea?
