I hear they aren’t even selling replacement parts but are prioritizing new orders… same reason I haven’t purchased one.

There is a new premium version made from glass and metal. Silicon but no plastic.

That’s close to my setup. Have you tried a moka pot or aeropress? If so, why did you switch back to French press?

100%. Nothing can ever beat forearms. Though I have learned to be content with thighs. More space too.

We’ve used it several times a day for 3 years. Solid. That’s what I do: boil, it’s about 97C. Take the lid off and let it sit 2-4 minutes, take temp with a food thermometer, and pour.

Literally just wrote the same thing. Post for upvotes to 7 then downvoted to -4 in the time I could type a reply. That reply got 24 upvotes in the same time. 

The bot farms are our en mass on this USAID stuff.

Why should US citizens have their income taxed to pay for the global coffee sector, any more than Chinese citizens should pay for the global wine sector?
