Simplify Your Morning With a One-Step Coffee-Weighing Cup

Simplify Your Morning With a One-Step Coffee-Weighing Cup

Eyeballs are great: I have two. I also like spoons. But if you want a consistent coffee dose for great espresso or pour-over, a precise scale is the mildly inconvenient one true path. I can still remember a time when in order to weigh out my coffee beans each morning, I placed a little dosing cup atop a digital scale, and then pressed a button on the scale, and then waited a second or so for the scale’s display to zero out before pouring coffee beans into the dosing cup. Back in the sands of time—October of 2024, I think it was—I didn’t consider this a dire inconvenience. It’s just how coffee scales work. But perhaps they don’t need to. Over the past year or so, a few coffee brands have cottoned to the simple idea that a dosing cup and scale could be combined into one device. Trigger lightbulbs above foreheads, and bluebirds on shoulders. Perhaps the most elegant of these is the Subscale, new from Singapore coffee brand Subminimal (also the maker of …

What’s the History of the Rugby World Cup?

What’s the History of the Rugby World Cup?

  Rugby union (as opposed to rugby league) is recognized as one of the world’s most physically challenging sports. For eighty minutes every match, two teams of fifteen players enter into a grueling contest that leaves them battered and bruised as they jostle for control of the ball. It is certainly not a sport for the faint of heart.   Every four years the world’s top rugby-playing countries send their teams to battle it out in the Rugby World Cup, the premier competition of rugby union. The winner is recognized as the world champion.   This is the history of how the Rugby World Cup started and how it grew to be one of the biggest sporting events in history.   Beginning the Rugby World Cup A rugby ball.

The Football World Cup, first held in 1930, became an event similar to the Olympic Games in that it was held every four years. …

Jos Buttler admits to nervous watch after England’s great escape | T20 World Cup 2024

Jos Buttler admits to nervous watch after England’s great escape | T20 World Cup 2024

After a group stage escape not dissimilar to Indiana Jones rolling under a falling stone door, England are through to the Super Eights of the men’s T20 World Cup. As he left Antigua, fedora grasped at the last split-second, Jos Buttler admitted Australia’s victory over Scotland the night before had been a “nervous watch”. It had been a pretty fretful day overall, too, the England captain having looked positively drained after the 41-run win against Namibia. With rain clouds hovering over the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium and for three hours proving as unshiftable as the Master Blaster himself back in the day, things had hung in the balance for the defending champions. Who knows, possibly even jobs. But tropical sunshine has since broken out for Buttler and his men, who have now travelled to St Lucia, 220 miles south of Antigua, as opposed to 4,000 miles east back to London Heathrow. There they will meet the hosts West Indies on Wednesday night and South Africa two days later. Then comes a return to Barbados for a …

Real Madrid strike late to beat Dortmund and lift 15th European Cup

Real Madrid strike late to beat Dortmund and lift 15th European Cup

LONDON :Real Madrid were crowned kings of Europe for a record-extending 15th time with a trademark 2-0 win over Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League final at a raucous Wembley on Saturday as they were outplayed for an hour but then showed their clinical edge. After Dortmund had made, but spurned, several good chances, particularly in a one-sided first half, Real took control as Dani Carvajal headed in from a corner after 74 minutes and Vinicius Jr fired home the second nine minutes later. Victory secured the trophy for the sixth time in 11 seasons, matching the run of the team that started Real’s love affair with the European Cup, having won the first five editions of the continent’s elite competition from 1956 and another in 1966. Amazingly it was Real’s 10th straight triumph in a European final – their last defeat coming against Aberdeen in the Cup Winners’ Cup showpiece 41 years ago – and they have now won the biggest one more than twice as often as the next best team. It was …

Captain: Monak PatelFixtures: Canada (June 2), Pakistan (June 6), India (June 12), Ireland (June 14)Best finish at T20 World Cup: Debut tournament For the best part of the last century, the world of cricket attempted to reignite a love for the game that was officially played for the first time in New York City in the 19th century. Cricket began in the United States earlier than in any other part of the world, according to archived references. Now, the sport is making its way back to the US by handing it the co-hosting rights for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024. Lining up under the country’s stars and stripes flag will be 15 men who call the US home, but come from diverse backgrounds. Eleven of the 15 belong to the bustling South Asian community of Indian and Pakistani heritage. The two South Asian nations may be bitter rivals, but the acrimony goes out of the window when the players get together in the Team USA dressing room. “The respect is evident,” USA’s coach …

India vs Pakistan T20 World Cup clash prompts New York to beef up security | ICC Men’s T20 World Cup News

State governor says there are no ‘credible threats’ to the tournament or the India-Pakistan match on June 9.
