Thread: Coffee Enthusiasts

Yup, the home brew coffee coefficient works out to 20$/week CDN as an unofficial justifier of spend avoidance and quality home caffeine generation.

So over a year, $1000 saved up here, or $780 USD once I stopped with the take out coffee.
That roaster would take over a decade to pay off purely in personal avoidance.
Course if selling your wares, exponentially less time involved..

I have a friend who visits Tim Hortons 4 times a day. That works out to about $7/day or about $2500/year. He also smokes cigarettes @ $10/day or $3700/year. We won’t count beer because that’s food.

He could eliminate one vice and one indulgence and pay for that coffee roaster in under 3 years.

Had a minor tragedy chez Cangooner last week when my girlfriend accidentally broke my precious double-walled glass one-piece Bodum press. Tragedy and precious because when I bought it about a dozen years ago, it was already at the end of production. So a direct replacement will be nigh on impossible.

So, I'm thinking of replacing it with this:Espro P7

I like the fact that it's insulated (as was the late Bodum), and I seem to recall someone here had good things to say about the Espro. Did I imagine that??

Any other suggestions for a press that will last the next 12 years?

Since getting into espresso, I found myself using the press less often, but it was great to have that option when the mood struck.

Why don't you check out the auction sites for a comparable press? I'm guessing you'll have an opportunity to perhaps find the same as was broken?

I've occasionally been keeping an eye out for years in the hope of finding a backup. No luck.

However - thanks for the reminder. It's time to look again.

Just bought an Espro. A bit fiddly but makes good brew. Quick clean up though.
Still learning it though. Bought on sale.
