Liberal
Gotta swap to a Nomad or a Flair, escape the liberal entrapment of automatic machines!
I’d probably categorize the keurig as a liberal machine rather than the one where you have to grind, distribute, and tamp your beans.
(But also, my god yes- the flair is fantastic if you can handle the thermal management prior to coffee making. Highly recommend)
Yea, I agree, though one could argue having the money and time for an automatic machine and espresso machine is pretty Labor Aristocracy, haha.
That being said, I’m a huge fan of my Flair 58, no annoying thermal management issues (for the most part) and great turbos.
I liberated my Rancilio Silvia from a relative who decided their covid hobby wasn’t as satisfying as they thought lol. But I still prefer espresso from my Flair most of the time since the Silvia still needs to be PID modded to have decent thermal management.
I swear if I end up getting the 58, I deserve to be thrown into the ocean. I initially bought the Neo, then sold it for the classic, then replaced the brew head with the pro brew head and pressure gauge.
Hahaha, it’s the never ending climb. I went straight for the 58 from a pour over setup because I truly can’t trust myself not to upgrade to it. The hand grinding is getting old though… the Zerno is calling my name but my wallet is desperately fighting back.
I… don’t drink coffee…
Yeah I drink tea, now what am I supposed to believe in?

Lmao, chinese tea ceremony includes like 500 steps.
I wouldn’t personally call “Gong Fu Cha” a ceremony, more like a “discipline” since that’s sort of the idea behind “Gong Fu” its the idea of get better at something doing it over and over again, so best translation for would be a discipline. Unless you meant Japanese tea ceremony, but that’s not really for tasting the tea its more like the tea is used for symbolism sake like say how wine is used in mass.
I also don’t think it has that many steps? Preheat the vessels using water at the temperature you’ll be using for the tea, pour that water out, put tea leaves rinse the leaves with the water pour that out, steep the tea after say 10s pour that water out into a secondary vessel (probably a gong dao bei) pour that tea liquid into your small tasting cup and slurp to taste. Pour some more until you need start a new steeping, do what you did previously just slightly longer steeping time.
Honestly I get lazy and skip the pre-heat and fairness cup, then it’s even faster/easier than brewing in a pot!
Also tea people should check out !tea@possumpat.io! The only tea community I’m aware of on lemmy. Though it’s super inactive right now; I should probably contribute…

In all seriousness, the Aeropress is fantastic. It’s the absolute most bang for your time and dollar, unless you serve multiple people.
Yeah it looks good. I’ve been meaning to switch over to french press, but I’m pretty lazy
Aeropress is perfect for the lazy, French press is annoying to clean. Aeropress just shucks the puck and you’re done, maybe give it a rinse.
Not to yuck y’all’s yum, but coffee is gross
I drink a full glass of pure espresso bc I am empty inside
Jokes on you, I regret being born every morning already
So that would be a handful of monkey beans straight down the hatch then?
Existing proof that opinions can be wrong
Posadism attempts to introduce elements of ufology into Marxist thought.
WTF?
…Arguing that only communism can allow the development of interplanetary travel.
I’d argue that the infrastructure we need to colonize other worlds is going to require larger organized population than capitalism can provide.
But as a reader that sees ideologies as starting points (that need to be developed so as to create a pathway to post-scarcity), I can’t say what the corruption-light system is that will allow for interplanetary colonization and trade.
The fabricator IRL would be late-game magitech that manipulates huge amounts of energy. (A fabrication failure could annihilate a continent). Far, far, sooner, we’ll have the food-printer / turbolift system of Star Trek TOS to deliver us our custom-made coffee.
Meanwhile, in 2024, we’re having a tough time escaping the gravity of fascism-driven autocracy.

Cold brew? Asking for a friend named me.
Best I got is reformist/social democrat because it takes forever and is good but not great when it’s ready
Democratic Socialist. Flexible and widely beloved, but can be looked down upon by people who know and care more about coffee.
I use the French press for cold brew sometimes
Once again we must spark the great debate. Is making coffee at home Bourgeoisie or Proletariat?
Neither. Closer to that of the small handicraftsman or small manufacturing worker, who predate both the bourgeoisie and Proletariat.
If you’re asking if it’s more Proletarian to make coffee at home or buy it, I’d say people should, in general, be more self-sufficent and conscious when it comes to consumption, but obviously not everyone has time for that.
Everyone knows the true test of a person’s character is the consistency of their grinder, not the brewer. (please don’t look on my kitchen countertop- it’s full of almost all of these and a single hand grinder. My forearm is crying for help)
Your forearm needs more shakeweight
Protip: Pick up a cheap 20v battery operated hand drill and attach it to the handle.

Slurps the concoction off the replicator shelf
As a Posadist I’ll have you know the aliens haven’t delivered my replicator yet.
Sort of a pivot, but The Orville did a great bit about replicators and how if you dropped them into a society like 21st century Earth, they’d just end up coopted by the rich and further strain society.
We can’t even have future nice things thanks to capitalism.
get away with your fucking bullshit, what about:
- put the grounds in the cup
- pour hot water over the grounds
- stirr in your condiments
- wait for the grounds to fall
- scoop out whatever is stuck to the foam on the top
- drink slowly until you see the grounds
ps: just kidding though, i use the fully automated machine at work like the others there, which puts us all into the trotskyite ca- uh… group, i guess. what i described was the prevalent preparation method in my hometown though
