Default Happy New Year

Believe it!

I've spent tall bucks on espresso machines and grinders. I'm now back
to a Malitta drip cone and pre-roasted/ground coffee. I usta roast my
own beans, but that got too labor intensive while caring for my mom.
For what one spends on espresso equipment, one can buy quality coffee
for a long time.

Chris Porter (comedian) does a funny bit on Starbucks and coffee.
"Pick a flavor and an Italian word and move to the left". "If I knew
what a macchiato was, I be making them at home and wouldn't be paying
$5, every single day, for one".
