Did this in November. Then I got irritated by all the pain and removed the mangled nail, discovered pus and some liquid. Very painful. But it felt so good that night. Slowly watching the nail regrow.

I expected this. The coffee tastes like charcoal.

I've made progress in this whole situation, based on insight and feedback on this post, and will update tomorrow.

Nuts, right?

Tried this. Nothing. Boiled the water with the coffee in the microwave. Nothing.

Our culture is deeply rooted in milk. We make coffee with milk directly. It's a bit different from the norm, but for me, that rich milky thing is a big ticket item.

No. I mean that even ground coffee in a press blends/mixes in with hot water or whatever medium you are using. This, regardless of how hot the water is, in a French Press, boiled in a saucer cowboy style, or however else simply does not mix or blend. It just floats. I don't know how else to explain it.

Gifted straight from Belize.

Will try your recipe. I raw dog this stuff so, it's no sugar for me.

I will try for tomorrow morning. It feels like some indestructible roast. And despite the charcoal aftertaste, it actually tastes very good.

That is just it. Even brewing is not working.

I grind coffee, I know how to extract, I have a French press. This is not instant coffee, but it does not mix in the press, cowboy style or boiling it in water.

Not instant coffee. Grind beans and then steep them. The picture is of ground coffee. It looks like charcoal. It's not instant, and despite running it through a press, it does not mix.
