Household batteries (the usual suspects: AA, AAA, C, D, 9-volt) can be recycled through battery retailers like Batteries Plus. While you save up enough old batteries to make it worth a disposal trip, keep your dead batteries in a dry place that's out of reach of kids.
Water temperature is vital. Doing it correctly, you can make what many say is the perfect cup of coffee. Ideally, you want the temperature between 195 and 200 degrees F. One way to do this is to boil the water and use an âinstant readâ thermometer from any kitchen store.
Arabica coffee thrives from the humid tropics to temperate climates from 5Â°N lat. to 34Â°S lat. where temperatures average 11-26.5Â°C, and from sealevel to 2,500 m altitude. Rainfall needs to be regular, abundant, and well-distributed, from 800-2,500 mm. Ideal conditions at the equator are 1500-1800 mm.
