I don't know what constitutes a cup of coffee or whether I've had one or not.

DMW - bambino is for espresso style stuff

aeropress is better than french press imo, makes a smoother mellower more nuanced brew

If you drink coffee on the regular this product is the way to be. I grind my beans 15 seconds. Put em into the "filter basket" and compress them by pushing down with a special tool 10-12 seconds. Turn on machine 2 seconds. PLace coffee cup in place and push the double shot button and wait, whole process under 30 seconds. THen I foam my milk by putting it in a special metal container and put it in place and lower foaming wand. This process is 30 seconds. I then put the foamed milk into the douple shot - after doing this I put the empty metal container under the wand and lower it, this triggers the self clean mechanism and the cycle takes 15 seconds. I then wipe off the wand and remove the filter basket and clean it into the trash and rinse. Another 30 seconds. This whole process is quicker than french press and mr coffee maker and I dont dick with filters or any o that crap and it tastes fcuking good.

Keeping liquids hot up here just ain't worth the expense.

Speaking of which... wife and I are meeting at the dealers after work and are potentially going to purchase a swim spa to be put right off the pandamndeck.

My Cuisnart Espresso maker is now a lamp stand; it's the perfect height to sit right above my digital piano. It stopped turning on last month and I expect repair attempts to frustrate like the ryobi drill.

*for extra snoot points: chill your special metal container before foaming the milk.

North western mutual a good first firm to work for for a finance degree? I assume it’s cold calling insurance sales. Probably helps that I speak Spanish

You can but it is trickier and is based on how your company does the payout (and assuming UI taxes are being paid).

What an ending though. Alley-oops on a well defended inbounds. Following 0-2 on free throws.

FYP. Could be worse. Edward Jones makes you knock on hundreds of doors before you're allowed into an office.

Last summer I bought a $18 Mr Coffee from Big Lots after brain overload from reading all the options. I eventually settled on a French Press. But it takes way too long to steep to my liking. So every morning I brew in MrC and then transfer the contents to the Press and come back in 15 minutes.

You shouldn’t be steeping French press for much more than 3-4 minutes

Went ahead with the swim spa purchase last night.

So apparently I'm just torching money left and right this year. If you want in on the action, simply propose your business plan and I will PM you my credit card number, go go go!
