Roasting your own coffee is trivially easy if you have the right tools. I bought an air roaster in a crowd funding campaign a few years back and it’s just incredibly more convenient, cheaper, and at least as good as buying from a roastery.
Of course, most people aren’t going to want to spend a grand on something to save a few dollars a week, or to tweak a roast to fit their palate slightly better. I know I wouldn’t have.
As did the person you replied to.
Might want to save most of it for your next memory upgrade too.
He was the candidate for the raving loony party.
Avocado is fine. Not worth paying a premium for, but still ok. The biggest problem with it other than the price is getting it ripe (and not overripe) and unbruised. Too much effort for something that’s just fine.
I think Karl and Ian had a falling out over Ian’s desire to avoid politics, not over his politics per se. I haven’t seen anything lately than suggests they ever hang out anymore. Ian still goes to shooting events Karl is involved in, I think, so it can’t be too acrimonious.
Meidas Touch. Clickbait headlines and thumbnails, unrealistically optimistic takes on things. I want information, not bullshit.
LifeTime(Hours) apparently rolled over on a couple of my drives. One of them has about 12 years and five months on the Head_Flying_Hours counter, so at least that.
I was really lucky to get mine in the early crowd funding phase - it was something like a quarter the current retail price. And my preferred green beans (when bought by the sackload, delivered) are about 60% the price of roasted beans at a local roastery. The value worked out well for me where I am, but I can certainly understand that your local prices will differ, and with the current price of the unit it’s a lot more of a painful initial outlay. Still pretty cool for anyone who likes to tinker with their roast profile, of course.
