Which model is that?
Saw a beautiful Japanese pot (with a swan neck) yesterday when I bought some Ethiopian (Yirgacheffe) coffee.
Medium base with a platform and double swan neck output for direct extraction into espresso cups. Allows for equal distribution of coffee into two cups.
I'd prefer SS since aluminum tarnishes easily. Plus, SS lasts forever and is easy to clean, never mind having nearly no taste. I doubt one exists. I can't find a SS example of the Brikka. I don't have high hopes.
Enjoying an Ethiopian coffee (from Yirgacheffe) with organic brown sugar and organic raw double cream.
Chest cold, or head cold?
Lots of hot drinks, plenty of hydration (water, or similar) ginger tea, ordinary tea, yes, Olbas Oil to ease congestion, and rest.
In the here and now, I have enjoyed my mug of Ethiopian coffee (from Yirgacheffe) this morning.
Oh Wow.470 pages went unattended.
I am a Moka Pot coffee drinker from India.
Mostly brew Indian Coffees from Chikmagalur region.
My Favourite these days is a Coffee Chicory filter brew available from a local store, which has to be destroyed
using lots of milk and sugar ( that's the way South Indian Filter Brew is served).

I noticed a few days ago I wasn't feeling 100% because my appetite disappeared, I couldn't taste food well, and I was feeling ragged despite getting enough rest. Hopefully it's just nausea and body aches. The idea of having another head cold or chest infection this year is grim.
To be honest, nausea and body aches sounds more like a touch of flu than a classic cold, irrespective of whether it could be a head cold or a chest cold.
With a cold, I feel a bit under the weather, but can read in bed between bouts of sleep; with a flu, I have aches, nausea, utter exhaustion, and cannot focus mentally on anything.
Bed rest and plenty of fluids.
Probably. I've had flues and then a cold on top, so I'm never really sure which one it is. I'm not surprised. The recent cold snap our region of America has gotten in the last two months as contributed to many falling ill. Again. Not very normal to see ice on your grass or walkways this late in the year.
I second the notion. I am feeling under the weather too, though that is partly the rush to meet the deadline to turn in grades, final reports etc. for the recently completed semester and partly the rather chilly spring. Today we have 19 C and partly sunny skies, forecast for the next couple of weeks indicate that spring is finally here and a nice transition to summer.
On the coffee front, yes please in all its forms as I need to close accounts etc. Had some good stuff but also some capsule stuff for the caffeine.
That certainly sounds like the flu, not a cold.
Not something that will readily be overcome in a day or two; in my experience, it will take at least a week before you defeat the flu.
Good luck and plenty of bedrest and liquids.
Thanks for the warm wishes. Had a nice long nap and skipped the ice cream as I'd planned on eating. Currently enjoying a mug of green tea and looking up trailers.
Currently watching some Netflix trailers. Good to see Netflix investing in foreign film and television more than before. There's a lot of amazing stuff out there.

That sounds as though it is the sort of thing that could be absolutely delicious when under the weather.

Yes. Some old English recipe from a long ago. Victorian era, if I remember correctly. It saw renewed praise during the second world war for the two popular reasons. It was nutritious and filling, and sweet on its own when sugar was in high demand with low availability due to blockades. And of course the RAF made up the story about carrots helping pilots' eyes when the reality was they didn't want the Germans knowing about the then burgeoning radar technology. I believe carrot cake was also popular then because of how simple it was and the fact it didn't need butter.
Most recipes call for cinnamon as the spice, but you can add whatever you want, including citrus rind to brighten it up.
In terms of fruit or vegetables that are sweet (especially if they have been caramelised) there is little or nothing that cannot be improved or enhanced wth citrus rind. It s exceptionally good wth both stewed apple and apple crumble.
