No AeroPress. I'll never know who I am. :(

The pseudo-espresso that you can take camping? Anarcho-primitivism for sure

I had the same question, and decided that the pour over is the closest in the image. I've been an anarchist a long time anyway.

Maybe that means you're a nihilist?

In all seriousness, the Aeropress is fantastic. It's the absolute most bang for your time and dollar, unless you serve multiple people.

"Hoxhaist" is a term you made up and you can't convince me otherwise

[–] [email protected] 18 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (3 children)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoxhaism

Hoxhaism (/ˈhɒdʒə.ɪzəm/ HOJ-ə-iz-əm) is a variant of anti-revisionist Marxism–Leninism that developed in the late 1970s due to a split in the anti-revisionist movement, appearing after the ideological dispute between the Chinese Communist Party and the Party of Labour of Albania in 1978.

Yeah, I'm just going with "made up". The alternative is navigating three levels deep of leftist infighting.

Neoliberal is going to Starbucks. Neoconservative is going to Starbucks and yelling at the hispanic barista.

Pairing Trotsky with a consumerist product is an insult. It would be shared instant coffee at the Slabs, and everyone drinking it would say the other coffee was stolen.

I'm mostly anarchist, but when I have visitors I become a Marxist-Leninist

Posadism attempts to introduce elements of ufology into Marxist thought.

WTF?

...Arguing that only communism can allow the development of interplanetary travel.

I'd argue that the infrastructure we need to colonize other worlds is going to require larger organized population than capitalism can provide.

But as a reader that sees ideologies as starting points (that need to be developed so as to create a pathway to post-scarcity), I can't say what the corruption-light system is that will allow for interplanetary colonization and trade.

The fabricator IRL would be late-game magitech that manipulates huge amounts of energy. (A fabrication failure could annihilate a continent). Far, far, sooner, we'll have the food-printer / turbolift system of Star Trek TOS to deliver us our custom-made coffee.

Meanwhile, in 2024, we're having a tough time escaping the gravity of fascism-driven autocracy.

Everyone knows the true test of a person's character is the consistency of their grinder, not the brewer. (please don't look on my kitchen countertop- it's full of almost all of these and a single hand grinder. My forearm is crying for help)

SocDem. Halfway between pour over and French press, widely appealing, but people tend to grow beyond it.

Pan of water brought to boiling on the stove. Add grounds 30 seconds after removing from heat. Wait several minutes. Strain through fine mesh seive directly into cup.

No machine or dedicated apparatus required.

That's just a French Press in denial.

Utilitarian

Also are you ok?

There's someone in these comments claiming that they have orange juice with their coffee, so I'm willing to tolerate uphillbothways' bullshit at least until that war criminal is dealt with

What about manual lever espresso machines? That's my daily driver!

Edit: ignoring my own personal ideology, I think Manual Lever-Machines like the Flair, especially when paired with hand-grinders, are tactile, methodical, and focused on the means just as much as the ends. The actual experience and methodology is just as important as the espresso, it's a ritualistic practice.

As such, I think it's more likely to represent a form of Anarchism, where the means themselves are ends. Marxism-Leninism is usually more representative of gradual processes towards a greater end, whereas Anarchism itself is concerned with the process itself being a good end.

Just my 2 cents, I'd appreciate anyone else weighing in. It's fun to combine espresso and leftist ideology, considering both are important to me!
