Je ne comprends pasAfter reheating my coffee there now, I've had a flashback to my first week working as a KP.

The coffee evaporated entirely and I scalded my fingers on the cup.

“When a prospective groom visits the bride's house to ask for her hand in marriage, the bride-to-be makes Turkish coffee for her suitor and his family. A common belief says that if the woman does not wish to marry the man, salt replaces sugar in this steaming brew.”

Melitta Bentz invented the first paper coffee filter in 1908 after experimenting with blotting paper in a brass pot into which she poked holes with a hammer and nail. Received a patent and registered a company in her name. Thank you, Melitta.
