You may still want to go to an ophthalmologist though. Hehehe.

I gotta say, they really should mention the weight. The fact that they don’t only suggest it’s way heavier than the camping crowd would accept.

It’s word marketing, but 40% the size of other models is pretty impressive.

Anecdotally, I’ve found camping people to be into the practicality of pods. I think it’s a smart move.

The extra small size is also good, but light weight would be even more important.

I don’t know about the second part of your question, but there’s no hits for “weight,” “lbs” or “kg” in that page

There’s room for preference, I can enjoy a dark roast blend, but they seem to be really leaning into it these days.

Bad? Who’s to say. Specialty coffee is 100% Arabica and Arabica is more expensive to source, so, regardless of preference, I’m surprised by “100% the cheap stuff” marketing.

I think it’s an attempt to introduce apparent differentiation at a low price-point. I’m curious about future developments.

I love acidic specialty coffee that tastes like you squeezed half a lemon into the cup, but I also enjoy bolder, more classically intense coffee.

My main point isn’t so much about people’s different preferences, but the way companies seem to be pushing towards one end of the preference spectrum bit because of its value, but because of the cost and margins.

“Slightly better than gas station coffee.” Living the dream!

I already have that, I have the Fellow filter and pressure valve thing. It’s actually pretty good for the kind of coffee I most often like and makes for a cool workflow.

It’s pretty funny that it’s more expensive than the AeroPress itself.

But now how will I satisfy my Gear Acquisition Síndrome?

I’m glad you’re happy with it though.

Very interesting. I’ve considered getting one of these, but I’m not sure it would make enough of a difference for the AeroPress.

I have many questions. I won’t ask them and I don’t want the answers, but I have many questions.

Huzzah! Quite the upgrade indeed.

I’m consistently impressed by Baratza’s consumer-friendly practices.

They’re not the right grinders for me, having a company in the space raising the bar this way is good for everybody.

Happy grinding!

Wait, but I already played Vice City. I could even play it on my phone, if I easily wanted to. I wouldn’t even have to wait two years to do that. Hehe.

Seriously, are we into the nostalgia or are we considering this kinda derivative?

Yup, I’m paying for Nebula which is creator-owned. It doesn’t do everything YouTube does, but it’s a cool direction for the medium to go into - at least to try.

What an interesting concept for an event. It really does make sense not to waste those bottles, particularly with how eclectic of a set they are.

I did and it tasted better! This is so weird and interesting.

I think the double-walled cups may be very good for some of the nice light roasts I like, but the darker roasts I’m driving these days may work better with a ceramic cup.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Yes, I’ve been diagnosed with chronic GAS - Great Acquisition Syndrome.

In all seriousness, for singles I use ceramic cups, but for doubles I use double-walled glass cups. Maybe I should try changing things up.
