  • I had the same thought for a while, then I started playing dnd and subsequently DMing. Now any extra mental bandwidth I did have goes to solving open-ended people problems my players give me while we’re playing.

    Side benefit is I’ve felt more empathetic and patient with people since starting because I have to constantly put myself in a character’s head when we’re role-playing. I imagine that makes one seem more personable and cool to be around possibly helping with the unemployment too






  • It does take longer yeah but no its actually cleaner than at least the way I was doing it which was just to plunge it down real slow right after the brew. I’m not a coffee expert myself but I think the extra bitter compounds find their way to the bottom along with that coffee ground sludge leaving the coffee nice and clean as long as you dont pour out that last little but of liquid at the end. It’s also a lot closer to comfortable drinking temperature after that second phase so you can start drinking it pretty much right away

    This guy is great, he is a professional coffee guy so he will get in the weeds a bit but not in a hard to digest way. I personally use a French press that’s metal and insulated but that will get me 3-4 cups of coffee. If you’re looking for strictly single serve then try looking at an aeropress, they are cheap and given the right technique (which James above does go over) you will get tasty coffee. As for good coffee that’s a little bit subjective. Grinding the beans yourself will give the best results but I’m not picky myself and usually pick up the preground stuff. As for my personal way of choosing which, I just look to see if I recognize the label and if it’s a dark roast, if I don’t and it is I’ll give it a whirl
