My first coffee maker is my AeroPress! Had it for about a decade now and it's still plungin'
Took it out camping a ton over the years! It's been banged up so much and still works perfectly. I usually just bring a stack of paper filters in a ziploc but a metal filter sounds pretty bulletproof now that you mention it...
$40 is great! Plus you get plenty of cafe time which is worth a ton in my opinion. I didn't factor in my coffee house budget because that can get pretty high depending on the month 😅
I've been considering the V60 to get away from the pricey Chemex filters and that figure sounds really great. Thanks!
We do have Costco around here! I'll take a look for those Lavazza beans - they sound like a great deal.
Never tried the metal Aero filters but I found some off brand ones on Amazon that do the job really well. Got like fkn 800 filters for $10 on Amazon so that's WAY cheaper than the Chemex as it is. I worried about the metal filters resulting in oily coffee akin to a french press, did you experience that or are my fears unfounded?
That's solid. I figured I'd need a new setup to make the most of it - doubt my cuisinart burr grinder would be able to pull a really mean americano let alone a late. I'll keep that in mind for the next few huge Chemex filters I toss. Thanks!
Recently moved to a more coffee-oriented area so I should be able to find green beans way easier now. Thanks for the reminder!!!
I'm no coffee snob but jfc, I swear they get Folgers and CFoN just to fuck with us lol
One 12oz bag? Wow, that's efficient. Maybe that'll help me justify forking over the initial cost for a decent espresso machine.
Any hope in this affecting anything before the numbers are run in Nov?
That's the thing. On one hand I like not being bombarded by the shit opinions but on the other I like being informed at what the talking points are (to a degree) because I find that keeps me sharp against the opposition. When I read or hear about conservative viewpoints, I only think about how obtuse the logic is so it's not something I worry at all about affecting my mindspace so this might not be a solution to everyone.
I'm still torn on the topic since it's nice to not give a platform to obviously shit ideals since that's how the misinformation spreads but I still wonder if there's an even better protocol out there we haven't been able to even comprehend yet.
Wasn't one an eight year old?
Good points!
The timing is quite important. Other things to consider are tax periods, bonuses, and nature of the markets. That can all be racked up as cost of doing business if the long-term benefits outweigh the long-term costs.
Especially if they are having a bad year or quarter, performing layoffs can show promise of a better next quarter since severance is basically a fixed cost to the number of employees you have.
There isn't necessarily one size fits all but the bottom line is dropping employees saves money as human resources are always one of the largest costs of operating.
