But like, everytime I've had Nespresso coffee, it never tasted that noticeably different between varieties. So it's not like you're gonna be getting much out of that.

And with all the variability they pitch, like, why not get a home espresso machine for cheaper?

To add to the notes about getting a sewing machine, they're something that can be found at a lot of makerspaces, and I've also lived in several cities where you could check one out from the local library.

You can get away with one, and I certainly do most of the time. The 2nd one really only gets tossed on the bike for grocery store trips and touring.

Edit: more thoughts

For commuting purposes, it can be nice to get one with organizer pockets, just so keys/wallet aren't always disappearing all the way to the very bottom

Pourover! Today's beans are from Chiapas, Mexico and roasted by Broken Robot.

Not surprised. They always seemed really expensive. Like, I know they're gonna be nicer than a cheap Rad Power, but they're also more than the e-bikes offered by traditional bike companies. Especially important when a lot of local bike shops won't repair electronic things on brands they don't sell.

Also, lol, their website still just had rendered images of the bikes. Having seen them in person, yes, they look nice. A lot nicer than a lot of other e-bikes, but like, there's nothing that feels more like just backing something on kickstarter than a lack of actual photos of your bikes.

By paying attention to bands I already like.

Do I know who they're touring with? Are they posting about other bands in their scene? Maybe they like to post about cool music they're listening to.

I've discovered music from an artist posting bandcamp friday recommendation thread, instagram story AMA's, q&a moments with musicians at shows, showing up for openers at shows, etc.

oh, yeah, not being part of the professional association does raise some flags about how good they are

I've got a Kalita that I use nearly every morning. While I have fun trying new being methods, I do a lot better with consistency with pour over.

Electrolysis doesn't need a ton of space, so it doesn't surprise me that someone might have a place for it in their house. Can always try and talk with them online first to try and vet if you'd be comfortable there

Hi (& First) (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
 

Hi, I'm Spooky Daisy (she/her)

I'm a trans woman from the US.

I like bikes & sewing.

You can thank akari's comment here for why this community exists.

It's not my usual thing to be so extroverted that I create a place where people can introduce themselves, but I did.

Have fun greeting new people!

Used to live in a town that did this. Some of them also had blurbs about the history of the place, which I also thought was pretty cool.
