How To Use A Moka Pot

If you are a coffee lover like me you might have found yourself wondering how to use a moka pot from time to time. I love coffee, I might even drink a little too much, but I keep on drinking because it’s just too darn good. For that reason I’m always open for a new, interesting, and tasty way of brewing coffee.

For years I’ve seen moka pots lying around stashed away in grandparents cupboards or for sale at a garage sale. However, I never ever, not even once, saw anyone use a one to make coffee with.

Homemade Dishwasher Detergent

Simple Homemade Dishwasher Detergent

I decided to try and make my own homemade dishwasher detergent for a couple of reasons. The first of which is that old saying, “You are what you eat.” A lot of dishwasher soap is loaded with chemicals I don’t think anyone would willingly want to eat.

Fast Homemade Laundry Detergent Recipe

Here’s how to make a basic natural homemade laundry detergent recipe that is easy to make, and will get your clothes fresh in no time.

There are a ton of reasons to make your own homemade laundry detergent. Personally I’m not a big fan of soaking my clothing in a bunch of chemicals that I don’t really know what they are.
