A standard setting on this kind of grinder will be around 9 or 10 (out of 10), which is usually perfect for a french press. The burr grinder allows more control over the bean’s coarseness. Most coffee lovers prefer to use a burr grinder than its blade grinder counterpart. The grind for a french press has to be coarse, but not so coarse that the grounds don’t allow water through. They won’t provide much flavor beyond bitter, bitterness, and bitterness! If you want something more like a shot of Espresso, go with a medium-to-dark roast-but don’t get too crazy. You can use dark roasts to make espressos. ![]() A medium roast will give you a nutty, chocolatey taste, while a light roast will be fruitier in taste. If you want a richer and flavorsome coffee, go with a dark roast. The type of bean you choose for your French press or Espresso will also impact the flavor of your final product. You’ll also need to buy fresh beans and grind them yourself-which can be an extra cost if you buy them in bulk. A typical French press will run anywhere from $15 to $30. ![]() Costįor a cheaper alternative, choose the French Press. You’d need either a cone or plunger for that. Remember that not all French presses can accommodate pre-ground beans. You’ll have to heat water in a separate vessel before pouring it into the carafe. The French presses need more work on your part. You’ll have delicious coffee within minutes!Įspresso makers are convenient because they automatically make coffee for you. Next, add some coffee grounds into the coffee container and place it in the espresso machine. The espresso machine is your best bet for a fast, convenient way to make coffee. You will lose the rest during brewing because it doesn’t have enough contact with hot water. EspressoĮspresso machines extract only 40% of the flavor from their beans. It allows more extraction over time, resulting in a stronger cup of coffee. Brewing with a French press means the grounds and water sit together for quite some time. ![]() This method produces an oilier cup that can taste more bitter or acidic than espresso or drip brews. It results in a higher concentration of caffeine in each serving size-about 7 grams per ounce versus 5 grams per ounce for drip coffee. The increased amount of water allows more surface area contact with the bean during extraction. Try upping your dosage using a stronger blend or grinding your beans home.īoth techniques use water as their base ingredient. That’s enough to give you strong and dark java, but that’s still not enough. In a standard 6-ounce cup of drip coffee, there are about 115 milligrams of caffeine. The caffeine content depends on how much ground coffee you use and how long you brew it. Espresso also makes sense if you’re looking for more flavor than your typical cup of coffee. When to Use an EspressoĮspresso is a great choice when you want to get a quick pick-me-up or when you need a concentrated shot of caffeine. But the single-serving machines aren’t designed for large batches of coffee. This method doesn’t take long to brew two or three cups. You can also use your French press when making many cups at once. This gives it a richer flavor than with an espresso machine. If you’re into strong coffee, the French press is for you! The longer brewing time allows more oils from the beans to come out into the hot water.If you’re pressed for time (pun intended) and want to get your caffeine fix ASAP – stick with Espresso. ![]() If you want a strong, flavorful cup of joe that’s ready in no time – the French press is perfect!.While the French press isn’t the right choice for every cup of coffee, there are perfect situations you can use them. This process results in an infusion with more flavor than drip coffees do. After that, a plunger will separate the ground from the liquid. The French press deserves some attention too! Espresso is also known as “ol’ plunger pot” or “cafetière.” It involves placing coarsely ground coffee beans in boiling water for 4–5 minutes. The coffee that comes out of this machine has foam on top! You can serve Espresso in small cups or glasses called “tazas,” hence the name “Taza de espuma.”įrench press coffee may not have as much hype surrounding it as Espresso. You can enjoy this drink in black or with milk. It allows hot water to pass through coffee beans using high pressure. Espresso is a strong coffee made with a specific machine.

![]() Insanely popular on social media, “Coming In Hot,” has over 80 million streams collectively and was recently certified Gold selling over 500,000 by the RIAA. Most people who are just discovering Andy Mineo, can single every lyric of his viral hit “Coming In Hot,” ft Lecrae producedīy Sak Pase. In addition, it exposes his internal struggle to protect a child-like sense of imagination and adventure while growing older. The film’s story parallels Andy Mineo’s journey of life, faith, and art. In the process, he recovers his child-like sense of imagination. In the 1991 update of Peter Pan, directed by Steven Spielberg, an adult, Peter Pan battles Hook to save his two children who were kidnapped and taken to Never Land. ![]() He reclaims his child-like wonder and reconnects us with our own.Ī follow-up to the first installment of Never Land released in 2014, Never Land II is a concept album inspired by the film “Hook,” starring Robin Williams, Dustin Hoffman, and Julia Roberts. For hip-hop artist, music producer/director, label exec, and content creator Andy Mineo, his fourth studio album, Never Land II, is a place of rediscovery. ![]() For Lost Boys, Neverland is a place where time stands still, a metaphor for eternal childhood, immortality, and escapism. ![]() Move up to the Volt Premier and you get the LT's equipment, the contents of the Comfort package, the Bose audio system, plus different 17-inch wheels, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, heated rear outboard seats, a wireless charging pad for cellphones and other equipment, and an automated parking system (parallel and perpendicular).Ī Driver Confidence package is available for the LT and Premier trims and it includes blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert and rear parking sensors. An eight-speaker Bose audio system is available as a stand-alone option. Leather upholstery can be ordered with the LT Comfort package as well.

Our ownership spanned nearly 29,000 miles, putting the Volt through long-range challenges and stuffing its cargo area beyond the brim. There's a lot to like about the second-generation Chevrolet Volt, as we found over the course of a two-year road test and expert evaluation. Notably, we picked the 2018 Chevrolet Volt as one of Edmunds' Best Used Cars and Best Hybrid Cars for this year. As such, we definitely recommend checking out Chevy's smartly designed plug-in hybrid hatchback. On top of that, the Volt boasts plenty of standard equipment and an easy-to-drive nature.Īlthough you might prefer the traditional look and spaciousness provided by a plug-in midsize sedan (such as the Kia Optima Plug-In Hybrid), the pure electric range of these vehicles is considerably less than the Volt's. Whether it's short-distance commuting or going cross country, the Volt has you covered. While all dedicated electric vehicles can go farther than that, the beauty of the Volt is that once you run out of juice it switches over to its normal gasoline-electric hybrid operation.

New factions for all those original Old World races (Clan Angrund, Crooked Moon, Bloody Handz and all the rest) plus three new races in Bretonnia, Wood Elves and Beastmen, each with their own sub-factions and start positions. That’s thanks in part to our New Content team, headed by the ever-cheery Rich Aldridge, whose small but insanely talented crew have contributed to massively more playable factions per-square-mile in the Old World (and therefore in Mortal Empires) than we’d originally imagined. In terms of content, Mortal Empires is way, way denser than we’d initially envisaged back in 2013, when we were in pre-production for the first game. *= Er, no, we’ve not decided on a name for this yet. Also, no Vortex story mechanics here: this is pure conquest, with all the playable races and factions we’ve released so far (plus a ton of AI controlled ones) vying for dominance across the continents.īy the end of the trilogy, we intend there to be 5 massive campaigns to choose from across all three parts:įree Campaign for Owners of Parts 1, 2 & 3 It’s not a straight stitch-‘n’-fit job, and it can’t be – the Old World and Eye of The Vortex campaign maps are designed to be standalone they’re different shapes and don’t ‘fit together’. We’ll be taking the iconic territory of the Old World you know from the first game and expanding outwards to the West, taking in key territories from Lustria, the Southlands, Naggaroth and Ulthuan to massively expand the playable area. Mortal Empires will sit alongside The Old World and Eye of the Vortex as an epic fantasy strategy experience, a playable campaign in its own right, accessed through the Warhammer II menu. Shortly after Warhammer II launches, owners of both parts one and two will get to play a key part of that grand vision with our first FreeLC download: Total War: WARHAMMER – Mortal Empires. Parts two and three would explore other geographical areas and races. We also said we’d do this in three stages: part one would cover the geographical area of the Old World. All those races from 8 th Edition Warhammer Fantasy Battles with army books, each with their own starting positions, all playable in the kind of holistic, mega-sandbox of Warhammer joy nobody has ever attempted before. We’ve long spoken about our end-goal for the Total War: Warhammer trilogy: to realise the Warhammer Fantasy Battles world in the most complete and detailed way as possible. It’s been fascinating to hear how our test groups and reviewers, Youtubers and livestreamers are reacting to this new type of endgame in Total War, and we can’t wait for you to get your hands on it soon. We’re a couple of weeks out from part II launching, and we’re stoked about how the Eye of the Vortex campaign is going down.

In other words, by knowing the individual parts of the CAPM, it is possible to gauge whether the current price of a stock is consistent with its likely return. ![]() The goal of the CAPM formula is to evaluate whether a stock is fairly valued when its risk and the time value of money are compared with its expected return. CAPM Formula: E(R i) R f + i E(R m) R f Where: E(R i) Expected return on asset i. The model is less exact due to the estimates made in the calculation (because it uses historical information). The other components of the CAPM formula account for the investor taking on additional risk. CAPM (Capital Asset Pricing Model) CAPM takes into account the riskiness of an investment relative to the market. The risk-free rate in the CAPM formula accounts for the time value of money. Investors expect to be compensated for risk and the time value of money. E R i = R f + β i ( E R m − R f ) where: E R i = expected return of investment R f = risk-free rate β i = beta of the investment ( E R m − R f ) = market risk premium The formula for calculating the expected return of an asset, given its risk, is as follows: Jessica Olah / Investopedia Understanding the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) ![]() Graphically impressive, Raymon Origins offers a cartoon feel, along with gorgeous environments. Rayman Origins is a more conservative game in this regard which takes fewer risks and therefore, in raw mechanical terms, offers fewer moment-by-moment rewards for the attentive player. Rayman Origins is a side-scrolling 2D platformer that throws you into a colorful world while you try to rescue imprisoned Electoons. The best part is, if my ramblings haven’t convinced you then go download the demo on XBL and try it for yourself. Raymans back for great adventures, this time on PC. Unless of course you hate FUN or COLOR, reading this and all its mentions of FUN and COLOR must have been painful, I hope you hate yourself, you tyrant. The type of fun that tickles you instead of punching you in the face with your own fist and telling you to stop hitting yourself. Rayman Origins is pure, simple, unadulterated, brightly coloured fun. What’s that? It also has multiplayer, so now you can have fun with your friends. For the super-hardcore among you there is even a set of bonus levels that sees the difficulty skyrocket if you can find the required items to open the way. Often I revisited a level just to hear the music again.Īlong with the straightforward reach-the-finish style of gameplay you expect from the humble side-scroller you have a horde of extras including unlockable characters earned by collecting the respective number of lums, medals and trophies for collecting high number of lums or beating time challenges. Every world has its own feel beyond the unique enemies or powers you gain from the rather well endowed maidens in distress you save. It’s downright gorgeous and a total blast to play alone or with friends. Beautiful cartoon graphics blend seamlessly with a soundtrack that sounds almost as frivolous. In a blockbuster holiday season of M-rated war games, it’s refreshing to see something so different and special as Rayman Origins. The art and sound direction of Rayman Origins is one of its main attractions. What more do you need? Worlds include underwater caves, floating sky castles made from musical instruments and even see you flying through red hot kitchens on the back of a mosquito. They were making too much noise with their snoring. Why? Because Rayman and his pals were attacked by a mean witch-lady and her shadow minions. There is a screen and it scrolls to the side as you jump around avoiding enemies or happily punching them in the face with your giant white fists. Rayman Origins drags us kicking and laughing right back to the bare roots of platforming. There were only a handful of games last year I would have counted as fun and Rayman Origins is right at the top of my big list of Games That Did Gaming Right. Overall, Rayman Origins is a very enjoyable game thats. Also, some fairies you save throughout the game wear suggestive outfits, but its nothing too serious. Their is some slapstick/cartoonis violence, like slapping and punching other characters or monsters, but its pretty mild. Why do you play games? If you said for fun then you can pin that gamer lanyard on to your chest and wear it with pride. Rayman Origins is a very, very, fun cartoon platformer game. I say to them NAY, your opinions are wrong (if a little justified). I can hear the collective sighs of the latest generation of gamers across the country whose only memories of Rayman are the Raving Rabbids games and would rather shoot themselves than play another.
