I know you’ve already gotten a bunch of answers including the going black option that I’m chiming in with… But I went through a similar process a few years back now. It took experimenting with lots of different brands until I found one that I could happily drink black. Not sure where you’re located, but I found a local roaster that I’ve been super pleased with. It’s called Goshen. It’s more expensive coffee but it’s also ruined a lot of other coffee for me now

I use their files all the time for work. Super useful!

I thoroughly enjoyed that movie and how different it felt to other films at the time. Some good, dark, zaniness

Mine is still as secure as when I bought it. It’s only been about a year at this point though. It’s an all metal latching system though that uses a spring steel split lock esque washer. If that washer were to ever get warped it’d be easy to replace though as it gets removed when you unscrew the feed. The mechanism on the cap is just angled metal as well. It’d take a lot to wear it down I think.

Awesome! Thank you for the recommendation. I’ll have to do just that. We always buy from a local roaster but I can completely get behind trying this company out

I have now. How is it? I love everything about their message

I’ve really enjoyed Diamine Thunderbolt in my 2000.

I got a sample of Birmingham Pen Co. Jade Inferno recently and have fallen in love with it though. I’ll be getting a bottle of that in the near future. Their Oil Beetle is quite lovely too

Edit: There’s a really interesting Figboot video on YouTube about the design of the Lamy 2000. The number of design elements that were considered. The tight tolerances. The fact that the etching on the body and cap is still hand done. So cool

I absolutely love all things Goshen coffee but it’s also because they’re local to me.

One of my favorite pens I’ve bought. It’s such an awesomely engineered pen

Kill the Farm Boy by Kevin Hearne and Delilah Dawson

So far is very alright. Very light reading where they’re just going out of their way to parody all the typical fantasy tropes. Almost a Christopher Moore feel but not as sharp
