A fine distinction.

Okay, it's time for the quotation.

"You press coffee through a filter made of eggshells
and wood chips with vanilla bean, then reheat it so
it almost boils, then you pass it through a cloth to
remove any oils brought out by the reheating."

I wonder whether Vlad had been away from civilization
too long or hadn't had enough coffee and got the last
two steps backwards.  Once the coffee has been through
the cloth, I don't see why more oil would come out--
it's not in contact with the grounds any more--and
if you reheat it right before serving, it's painfully
I mean perfectly hot.

Me neither.  I was just imagining.
