The Columnist Manifesto

While others may be amused, bemused, patronizingly indulgent, or benignly satirical, there's at least one person out there who I'm pretty sure will understand why I had to take and post this photo of my home coffee production line.


Let's take a closer look:

Pour (1) pound of ground coffee into (2) patented "coffee caddy" with special coffee filter at bottom. Top off caddy with cold water. Remove plug and rest caddy on (3) carafe, which collects coffee concentrate. Distribute concentrate into four empty quart fruit-juice jars (4) and further dilute with water. Add half-and-half to make (5) the world's best home-made iced coffee.


Here's a close-up.
