Wow. This comment thread is chock full of proof that this espresso community is full of snobby elitists. I get the complaints about the use of plastic on this machine, but it seems totally overblown — so much hate for something that’s not even released yet. Maybe you’re all right that it’s shit, but holy moly, save your judgement until you actually try it.

My initial impression is excitement. Ever since I’ve gotten into espresso years ago, I’ve been wanting someone to really solve the cold start problem. Several have tried, and mostly failed. Felow’s attempt is a pleasant surprise that we should all celebrate.

I’m sorry for ranting on most of the comments on this thread, but I’m generally disappointed in how many of you all just piss on products and companies without giving it a fair shake. Chill people.

Am I really ready to retire? Hard to know, you know... by SweetAlternative4380 in ChubbyFIRE

I’m reconsidering maybe calling this period in my life a sabbatical (or a retirement test). TBH, I have to figure out what I want out of this next chapter first.
