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.
Hereâs my take: 1  Only consider freezing coffee if you plan on keeping it much longer than a month. 2  If you freeze, make sure it is in a fully sealed container, without even a one-way valve. 3  When youâre ready to use it, allow it to come to room temperature while still fully sealed to avoid condensation.
