Maybe because there’s an army of us born and raised before diagnosis was common, living undiagnosed, and thinking we’re just fuckwits or that we broke our brains when younger.

A combination of having to live with just themselves for company over lockdown, and finding au/adhd memes that start as funny, and then slide toward “oh fuck, that actually explains a lot… is that… me?” has led a lot of people to seek help and diagnosis, so it looks like a rise of adult au/adhd spectrum individuals.

What, are they angry that they wasted those expensive munitions on non-Palestinians?

I’ve got the manual Flair Pro, and I go through phases of using it, or going back to a moka pot. As it comes with a case, I can pack the gubbins away, leaving just the rather pleasing-looking frame, and I have a plan to make a little shelf with a drawer so that the whole affair can be tidied away quickly if I want. I’ve also taken it camping with me, and occasionally if I’m working somewhere remote, I’ve had excellent espresso on a job site far out in the woods.

It’s slightly more involved than an automatic machine, but if you’re only making one or two cups (I have two of the portafilter parts) it’s pretty quick and easy. I only have a hand grinder, so have to do that whether I’m using the Flair, a moka pot, or a cafetière.

The Flair allows so much adjustment that it can make some of the best coffee I’ve ever had, but it allows you to screw it’s right up too, and there’s a bigger learning curve than most machines. It’s definitely more of a hobby than just a part of a morning routine.

I think in a lot of cases this is true, but as a flip-side to that, a lot of people use the idea that people should be capable of changing to avoid having to alter their behaviour toward, or expectations of, neurodivergent folks

Perfect, that makes it clear thanks. Explains why I have to time it in the espresso

Can you clarify what you mean by “Watching for the bloom”? I’m an espresso boy, I don’t generally get to see what’s happening in the brew chamber, so I’m unfamiliar with what that term actually means. I’ve watched James’ videos pretty religiously, but it’s your comment that’s made me realise I don’t know what that actually means!

That’s why this is such an issue, that’s 128% microplastic, just between those two things!
