    Fresh water, like, from a fridge. I’m autistic and if the water is not fresh enough, I find it really hard to drink.

    Otherwise, I guess my Hormone Replacement Therapy is a luxury? I can’t live without it. My anxious brain often think about what would happen if my government was to “change”, if I was locked up somewhere against my will, or the societal system we live in was to completely collapse,and how I could lose my treatments from that. It’s very scary.

      AFAIC your HRT is not a “luxury” any more than any other medical necessity.

      Hey Omega i hear you totally and you’re not scared of your shadow, it’s a valid fear. Remember no politics in this community though. And that we have your back 100%

        it’s not my fault if my very existence is a political issue, it’s kind of hard to avoid when talking about my womanhood :(

      Before I moved here this is what I would have gone with. But now it’s definitely tea for me.

      Don’t get me wrong. I adore my SOE “Yunnan Red Wine Sun-Dried” beans. But I can live without if I have to. I can’t do the same with tea anymore.

        If your UK based id suggest Rave, a bit mainstream but fair price, good range, fast delivery. I have tried a good 15 around the UK. I also use Iron & Fire, and Recent beans semi regular.

        Maybe a small taster pack, or if you are grabbing a big bag, each coffee have their ‘contributing flavors’ for example cherry or walnut etc. I personally like the south American blends, I drink mine as latte or cappuccino and a med strength.

        Its a good idea to check if they have a grinder first.

            There is one other thing i have that other machine people love whenever i see them and it’s this…

            https://www.coffeehit.co.uk/products/rhino-shot-pitcher-dual-spout-3oz-80ml
            https://scoutcoffee.co.uk/products/rhino-shot-glass-2-4oz-70ml-with-spout-and-handle

            They have a little handle on and it pours from both sides. For me I know my shot is right by the measure. If there’s too much/too little my machine or my beans are out of whack.

            There are lots of cheap glasses but i have had these for about 7-8 years and they are solid, the glass is heavy and the handle helps with no burnt fingers, and just the right size for 2 shots. Bought mine from a coffee roasters and has been so worth it.

        Depends on whether they drink espresso or drip, but for espresso I very much like Intelligentsia’s Black Cat Classic beans

    Private house. Simply the ability to get outdoors at any time i want. In an appartment its an entire journey instead: dress up appropriately, lock the door, get down on stairs or elevator. It is too invonvenient for a two minute outdoor break.

      I have neighbors. Whoever built my house is a genius because almost none of them look at a neighbors house (the utility room can see one of their walls). Its one of the oddest but underrated luxuries of my adult life.

      ZDL can you please read the question properly before commenting? I said LUXURY. Tea is clearly an essential 😆

        Trust me. When I buy tea it’s a luxury.

        I don’t mean a box of Yorkshire here.

          Chinese tea? I do love a good quality tea, I have to say the Singapore teh is the best! I love a yorkshire cuppa but the teh is top class stuff.

            Well, living in China gives me access to a lot of tea straight from the source, thankfully. 😉

    HRT isn’t a luxury, but a necessity I’d never give up. If not that, I’d want a uterus, but if also not that… enough money to cover my needs, some fun, and to build up a financial & medication support network for all gals and queers!

    Dark chocolate. And when I say dark I mean everything on the 70% to 100% cocoa spectrum. Anything below 70% is not dark chocolate to me.

    I know I should stop buying it because it’s bad for the environment and there’s a lot of unfairness toward cocoa farmers in the industry… but fuck man. I can cut down on my intake, but I can never cut it out of my life entirely.
