I finally ordered that Espresso Machine

submitted by Trope to coffee 2 monthsJan 31, 2025 11:33:55 ago (+13/-0)     (coffee)

Just want to take a moment to express my gratitude. Growing up, very few of us had planned to live past the age of 30. I now have everything I could have ever wanted: A place to call home far away from the city, a wife, a loving family, a reliable car. And I can finally finish school without feeling like I’m behind or struggling to afford it since I already have a career job and enough cash for fuel.

I can sip espresso as the morning sun shines through the tree leaves and into my kitchen window. This relaxing vision of being able to just relax near my window and contemplate my life is an idealistic picture I’ve had in my mind for a very long time.

They say “You’re never ready to have kids.” But bro, I’m totally ready. Life is great and there’s nothing more I could possibly want. Now, I just want to share these experiences with loved ones and raise some children.

Sometimes coffee just gets it for you.

I push hard all day everyday but one of my best days at work happened a few months ago. A customer wasn't ready for me and told me to come back in an hour so I rolled into the coffee shop, went out on the patio and just watched the world go by.

It was nice, I never do that but maybe I should.

my folks have a Jura coffee machine that is really fancy but I don't want to have another device on my countertop nor deal with its maintenance, cleaning, or repairs. I just have a tea pot that I bought on sale for $15. It has a basket to put tea leaves. Every morning I take a spoon of black tea, ceylon tea, chamomile, three cloves, and three cardamoms, and toss half a lemon in there. And I brew it and drink it from one of those big insulated cups. Then I make green tea later. The tea goes into compost afterwards.

If I do make coffee I use a heated spinning mug and I put milk in there and some "mushroom coffee" from amazon, and maybe some cinnamon and nutmeg, and I spin it around until it heats up and froths. But I haven't done that in a few months. Tea is superior.

Hurry the fuck up, dude.

Children are exhausting if you're doing it right. The younger you are, the better.

I am happy for you. Godspeed to a house full of children to whom you give that being of gratitude.

Better stock up on your coffee.

Which machine?

[ - ] Trope [op] 2 points 2 monthsJan 31, 2025 12:34:44 ago (+2/-0)

Commercial grade La Cimbali. Going to make dinners at my house great again.

Thats a ridiculous machine for home use. Bambino plus is like 500 bucks vs 5000

No, consumer models are dog shit. I've worked in coffee and host large gatherings.

I work in coffee. 3rd wave machines are great. The world has passed all that pretentious stuff up and served up quality at a reasonable price. But as long as you are happy with it by all means enjoy your coffee.

But, but, but israel!

Nah, screw Israel and Ukraine.

Trump needs to send a ground invasion to take back every last dollar sent to these countries. (And abolish the federal reserve central bank)
