Starred with plain vi but I just calculated I've been using Vim for nearly half of my life.

I found the new r/espresso at least: https://infosec.pub/c/espresso

 

For my fellow weird coffee people, I've found the migrated espresso community at https://infosec.pub/c/espresso

To visit this on Beehaw: https://beehaw.org/c/espresso@infosec.pub

Found via the handy directory at https://sub.rehab/

I haven't found other coffee-related communities on the fediverse yet.

I think the original AeroPress packaged with the accessories is a good starter kit for a new user who may be completely new to coffee. When I needed to replace my old one this year (too much wear and tear) I costed buying replacement parts vs getting a completely new one snd it wasn't much of a difference... but now I have two funnels, two scoops, two filter holders. Though as someone else commented, increasing the price and also removing the extras doesn't sound right. Having the option to buy only the AeroPress (and pay less) would have been my preference.

Having said that, the accessories are versatile. I use the scoop to transfer beans from the bag/tin to the dosing cup for weighing, and the funnel fits almost perfectly on top of my grinder.

That's the Fellow Prismo, which prevents drip without inverting and also adds a little pressure (AeroPress have also recently released the Flow Control cap which aims to do the same but is apparently not as reliable). I don't trust myself to try inverted. I got a Prismo after I left my filter cap at a B&B and the first coffee shop I went to didn't have spare caps but did have Prismos. Never looked back. I add a regular paper filter above the Prismo's metal filter so the coffee is less muddy. I've also rediscovered Fellow's "espresso" recipe for the Prismo which does come kind of close to real espresso.

Unrelated to the video, but I was just (belatedly) scrolling the community suggestions thread wondering whether it was too late to suggest a coffee community – I'm happy to see that delicious beverages can be discussed here.

The niche I haven't found on Lemmy yet is coffee – we don't need to replicate a subreddit for every brew method, but I'd love to have a general community for coffee bean reviews and brewing tips.

Lemmy or at least Beehaw tends to favour more general communities; I wouldn't mind seeing a general notetaking/pkm/digital garden community where we can share our high-level methods and philosophies without getting too deep into specific software issues.
