I need some holiday gift ideas (that I will probably gift to myself as well)!
-
Aeropress for the coffee people who want something easy to store and clean.
-
Portable Bluetooth speaker. I have the Anker Soundcore 2, and use it all the time in my studio apartment.
-
Deli containers for food storage.
-
Electric mixer. It will save you a lot of strain if you often mix by hand.
-
Water filtration system of your choice. I use ZeroWater.
-
Humidifier for those dry months.
-
PC gamer? Use emulators for older console games? Get an Xbox controller for those non mouse and keyboard games (Journey et. al were on sale recently).
-
Canister vacuum cleaner. I use Bissell Zing (about $75), but they’re better than bagless vacuums.
-
Plants for literal quality of life. https://www.thespruce.com/easy-houseplants-hard-to-kill-4141665
Nice link! Poached it for !houseplants@lemmy.ml
I hear everyone singing the AeroPress praises, and while I like mine I actually much prefer my Chemex. I like the taste a little more, those Chemex filters are great.
But anyways, can’t go wrong with either. Then you get them hooked on an expensive hobby 😂
Yes, I love my aeropress!! With enough dialing in I can usually make a better cup of coffee with a pourover setup that better expresses the differences of specific beans. But the aeropress makes a darn good cup of coffee every time without going through all that hassle. I use mine almost daily.
I have been trying to decide between an aeropress or pourover. Maybe I’m ignorant of something, how is the pourover a larger hassle?
Ikea has single cup french presses for like 10€.
I have had several french presses, and I can say with certainty that the Aeropress is way easier to make a great cup of coffee with than any french press I have tried.
Can you make great coffee with french press? Absolutely! But it requires the proper grind, water temp, and timing it to prevent over or under extraction. Aeropress is a lot more forgiving.
Deli containers are a game changer. Never have to search for a lid that fits.
