How To Pour A Glass of Water

In his ongoing series Bryce Chartwell offers his not inconsiderable advice on how to pour the perfect glass of water. Contrary to popular opinion (something Bryce is never unduly influenced by) this is actually harder than it may first appear. Bryce walks the viewer through the left-handed "De Fluge" technique, first developed in the spas of Europe in the late 19th century.

But how do you get the water into the pitcher in the first place?

[Bryce Chartwell]

An excellent question. De Fluge works well for smaller volumes, but can become too unstable for larger pours. Stay tuned for subsequent episodes.

[Chris Gladis]

The left-handed de fluge technique is fine, I suppose, for your everyday water-pouring. I've found that the Curry-Namor double-handed shoulder lift is practically de rigueur for your better class of waters. I recommend the Autumn 2004 Reykjavik special blend, of course.

[Bryce Chartwell]

You can never go wrong with a superior blend of Icelandic glacial spa. Be careful with the shoulder lift though - depending upon your height it can introduce an over-abundance of effervescence into the glass.

These instructions weren't quite clear enough; I ended up with the glass upside down and my left testicle caught in the vacuum cleaner

I prefer the Pourit-Owtof Thetapan Difit-tastesAl Right-Drinkit technique myself. Using a platic tumbler, of course.

This can't be real.

Indeed, I have heard that there are plenty of knobs with the letter C on them over in that part of the world.

[dalelerious]

In America, you simply turn the knob with the letter "C" on it.

BAM!!! Instant cold water, and ours is worthy of drinking......
