How can it be anyone other than the astronaut?

CNN hasn't been liberal for a few years since they were bought by a far right loon.

The recent Daily Show with John Oliver episode really does a deep dive on just how completely nuts RFK Jr is.

Bullcrap. Can't do the time, don't do the crime. I knew the risks and I don't blame anyone else for the time I did when I got busted. I agree the laws are wrong but it is delusional to blame anyone other than yourself when you knew what the risks and penalties were.

Only person that spoke English at an industry event.

Since I live in Vietnam these are not exactly less common here but would be back in the States:

1. Egg Coffee (which is not super common because it is crazy sweet)

2. Ice Coffee with condensed milk. An excellent treat on a hot Hanoi afternoon.

I went with the Clever since I didn't have a V60 so no compatible filters at the time but I had lots of the generic (and much cheaper) Melita style filters. Work flow wise, they would be identical.

Be aware that this "nice insulated glass" has two problems: 1. Breaks a whole lot easier than the plastic Clever; and 2. Sucks up a lot of heat that would be better going into the brewing process.

The Clever may be easier to disassemble for cleaning than the Switch but I am not sure.

Team Clever for the win!

Clever Dripper, a scale, a kettle, and a Knock Feldgrind 2 (I've had this grinder for years) but any of the reasonably priced decent grinders from Kingrind, Timemore, or 1zpresso would be fine.

I have tried a few different options for brewing at the office:

French Press: Pros - few user inputs and reasonably good/consistent cups of coffee. Cons - major pain to clean up and I don't like the fines and micro grounds in the bottom of the cup.

Moka Pot (with a hot plate): Pros: not too many user inputs and fairly easy clean up. Cons - too hard to consistently get a good cup of coffee.

Regular pour over (Melita and V60): Pros -easy clean up and fairly easy to get repeatable good cups of coffee. Cons - too many user inputs. Must take time to get the pours right.

The winner: Clever Dripper! The lowest user inputs, easy clean up, clean cup of coffee with no fines or micro grounds in cup, very repeatable and consistent good cups of coffee.

Team Clever!

Wealth allows mobility. He can flee to the EU or Canada easily.

$50 seems a little steep for what you get but it is unique and has no direct alternatives. The lack of needing other gear to work with it is nice.

Very cool. I wonder what the roast level is?

It seems popular. I am set for coffee gear at this time. Very happy with the V60 02 and the Clever Dripper.

There are some great hand grinders available now compared to a decade ago. To get a remotely acceptable electric grinder you would need to spend around $150 or so for something like the Baratza Encore. For that same money you can get a really good hand grinder from 1zpresso or Kingrind which will produce more consistent grinds and fairly quickly.

try lower water temp and/or a more coarse grind.

I just opened a bag of washed light roast Arabica Typica from Dalat, Veitnam. Used a V60 to brew it and a Fellow Opus to grind it.

Quite nice. Floral and fruity not bitterness or excess sourness. Very happy considering the relatively low cost.

Not sure that they replace underwear but my wife has these and still wears very thin underwear with them since the stretch mesh you are calling underwear is not really underwear nor super comfy with direct sensitive skin contact during exercise.

Team cargo shorts checking in. Live in SE Asia and can wear them every day of the year.

I've got an old pair of Liberty somewhere.
