Coffee drinkers praise cold brew for its sweetness, depth of flavor, and lack of acidity. Its lengthy brew time is its biggest drawback. The $109 Gourmia GCM6850 Cold Brew Coffee Maker is one of a few kitchen appliances designed to speed up the process. Another is the $129 Dash Rapid Cold Brew. Both can whip up pitchers of coffee in minutes. However, Gourmia’s machine has the edge since it’s quieter and 릴게임야마토 easier to use.

As coffee makers go, 릴게임사이트 this one is far from simple. At the bottom of the brewer is a squarish base that accepts a wide pitcher. Inside are numerous parts including a coffee fountain, filter basket and lid, plus another lid for the pitcher.

It sounds complex, but the brewer’s layout is elegant compared with the Dash Rapid Cold Brew’s. The Dash Rapid splits the filter away from its pitcher, which means you have to handle more parts, and 오션파라다이스 a base with two sockets.

The Gourmia’s automatic cold brewer runs quietly and quickly.

I found the Gourmia brewer more enjoyable to use as well. First of all it’s quiet. I could barely hear it running. By contrast the Dash emits a high-pitched whine while it brews. That racket is caused by its internal water pump chugging along. Both coffee makers function by pumping water in a continuous cycle from the carafe, through their coffee filters and back.

Americans consume an alarming amount of microplastics

-text c-gray-1″ >Americans consume tens of thousands of microplastic particles every year — and that’s just from the food we eat. Microplastics are also found in the air we breathe and the water we drink. Thanks to a study published in the journal Environmental Science & Technology, we have a better idea of just how much plastic Americans consume.

The study estimates that annual microplastic consumption ranges from 39,000 to 52,000 particles, from food sources alone. When you factor in the microplastics Americans inhale, the numbers jump to 74,000 and 121,000. Americans who drink exclusively from plastic water bottles may be ingesting an additional 90,000 microplastics annually, which at the very least should be another reason to stop buying plastic water bottles. The researchers admit these are rough estimates, but if anything, they are “likely 오션파라다이스게임 릴게임 야마토 drastic 오션파라다이스 underestimates.”

A team of biologists from the University of Victoria in Canada conducted the study. They looked at microplastics in commonly consumed foods — seafood, sugars, salts, honey — as well as alcohol, tap water, bottled water and urban air. The researchers note that the microplastic content of poultry, beef, dairy, grains and vegetables has not been studied. We don’t know how much plastic we might ingest from food packaging, either.

According to the study, microplastics are “ubiquitous across ecosystems.” We knew the ocean was full of plastic, but the researchers suggests our bodies might also be packed with plastic. While there is potential for microplastics to enter human tissue — which might cause an immune response or release toxic chemicals into the body — we don’t fully understand how microplastics impact humans, at least not yet.
